Problem
The blind will not fit into the installation brackets.
Solution
Check that the installation brackets are level and aligned. Adjust and/or shim to level, if necessary.
Be sure the heads of the screws are flush against the installation brackets.
Check that the headrail is completely inserted into the installation brackets. See “Mount the Headrail” on page 7.
Problem
Batteries in the battery wand need to be replaced.
Solution
Replace the batteries in the battery wand.
Squeeze the cap latch to release the cap and remove the cap from the
battery wand.
Install the batteries according to the instructions on the battery wand label.
Press the cap on until it latches.
NOTE:
Kirsch recommends AA alkaline batteries for use with our battery-
powered blinds. These will provide more than one year operation, depending
on usage. Lithium and rechargeable batteries are not recommended.
Problem
The blind does not raise or lower evenly.
Solution
Check inside the headrail. Make sure no obstructions keep the mechanism from turning.
Check that the lift cords are not pinched or tangled.
Problem
Lift cords are bunching by the safety cord connector.
Solution
Make sure the slats are in the open position. Raise and lower the blind to straighten the lift cords.
Problem
Lift cords are stuck or jammed.
Solution
Check the cords and the moveable pin in the cordlock mechanism inside the headrail of the blind. Make sure the
cords can move freely. If the cords are jammed, use a screwdriver or needle-nose pliers to move the pin and free the
cords.
Problem
Decorative tapes are wrinkled after installation.
Solution
Use a steamer to steam out the wrinkles. Wave the steamer in front of the tapes for a few seconds. Do not touch the
slats with the steamer. To avoid stretching the tapes, do not pull down on the bottom rail while steaming.
Problem
When hanging, the slat pack appears to be skewed toward the cordlock side of the unit, particularly in an inside
mount installation.
Solution
Slide the headrail in the end brackets in the opposite direction of the skew and adjust the tabs in the end brackets to
maintain the position of the unit, This will center the slat pack in the window.
