- Determine whether or not to remove any tabs from the
installation brackets. If using a back cover, use pliers to
remove both tabs from the brackets. If using battery
wand without back cover, leave both tabs on brackets.
If using a satellite battery pack or DC power supply
without a back cover, remove the top tab (Auto-Lift).

- Mount brackets using the screws provided. Be sure the
front edges of the brackets are aligned and level to
each other. Shim the brackets if necessary.
Important: Do not overtighten the screws.

Optional Extension Brackets or Spacer Blocks

- If using extension brackets, attach them to the
mounting surface. Then attach installation bracket to
the underside of each extension bracket using the
screws and speed nuts provided.

INSTALL THE SHADE

* For Auto-Lift, take care when
handling the antenna wire
attached to the motor cartridge.
Do not cut or remove this
antenna. If you have an external
eye, plug it into the 3-pin port on
the back of the shade, being sure the plug is oriented
correctly.

- Position the shade so that the front (colored fabric)
faces you.

- Slide the headrail into the installation brackets so the
edge of the headrail is between the lever and the
bracket as shown.

- Firmly push the headrail into each bracket until it clicks
and the lever snaps to the right side of the bracket.

- Important: Carefully pull on the headrail at each
bracket to ensure it is installed securely.

MOUNT BATTERY WAND INTO WAND CLIPS
(AUTO-LIFT ONLY)

- Place the battery wand with its
socket toward the motor end of
the shade.

- Push the battery wand straight up
into the battery wand clips until
it snaps into place. Check to make
sure the wand is secure.

- If using spacer blocks, the solid side of the spacer block
faces the mounting surface. Attach the spacer blocks
with the installation bracket using two screws long
enough for secure mounting. Use a maximum of three
1/2” spacer blocks per installation bracket.
