Installation Overview 

To install your shade, you will need to perform the following four steps:

STEP 1:  

Mount the Installation Brackets

STEP 2:  

Mount the Battery Wand

STEP 3:  

Install the Shade

STEP 4:  

Connect the Power Source

STEP 1: Mount the Installation Brackets

 

Your order will include the correct number of installation brackets for your shade width, as shown in the table.

 

There are two sizes of installation brackets, one for

For end mounts, only two brackets are used up to the maximum width of 72". 

IMPORTANT:

" spacer block is required for shades using an attached battery wand. The spacer block is pre-attached to the 

back of the installation bracket.

 

Should the spacer block become detached, reattach it.

 

Insert the legs of the installation bracket into the tabs on the spacer block.

 

Rotate the installation bracket back, as shown, to snap it in place.

Mounting Types and Window Terminology

If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process follows easily. To prepare for this important 
first step, review the mounting types and basic window terminology illustrated below.
