Child Safety
Young children can STRANGLE in cord loops and in the loop above the cord stop. They
can also wrap cords around their necks and STRANGLE.
■
Always keep cords out of the reach of children.
■
Move cribs, playpens and other furniture away from cords.
Children can climb
furniture to get to cords.
■
Do not tie cords together.
Make sure cords do not twist together and create a loop.
■
Hunter Douglas provides cord cleats and we recommend their use.
Attach
two cord cleats 6" to 12" apart at a height where they will be out of the reach of
children. Take into account that a child may stand on furniture attempting to reach
the cords.
■
Be sure the cord cleats are firmly secured.
■
Once the cord cleats are attached, wrap excess cord around them after each use
of the shade.
■
Replacement or additional cord cleats may be obtained by contacting the Hunter
Douglas Customer Information Center at 1-888-501-8364.
Safety Cord Stop
■
The safety cord stop reduces the risk of loops formed by pulling out the back cords.
■
This component also breaks apart with minimal pressure should a child or pet become
entangled in the top lift cords.
■
To reassemble the cord stop:
➤
Re-insert any loose cords into the top notches of the cord stop. There is a notch on
each side.
➤
Line up the two halves of the cord stop and snap the pieces back together.
