INSTALLATION

Installation Overview

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

STEP 1: Mount the Installation Brackets

STEP 2: Attach the Rechargeable Battery Mount to the Headrail, If Applicable

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.

NOTE: Shades with a headrail-mounted rechargeable

battery wand utilize XL brackets.

NOTE: Non-kickback shades 84" in width or length will utilize XL brackets. Kickback

shades that exceed 84" in width or 78" in height will use XL brackets. These larger shades

will require spacer blocks and XL brackets if using rechargeable batteries.

➤ Shade orders may also include spacer blocks or extension brackets, if they were

specified for added clearance.

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.
