Control Like Never Before
This guide shows you how to set up and operate Battery Powered
motorized window shadings using the remote control. You’ll
also learn the two methods to operate your window shadings.
All control features can be used with either method. Choose the
method that works best for you.

Infrared Control
•Line-of-sight operation (like
a flashlight)
•Control window shadings
individually
•One-button operation
Radio Control
•No aiming necessary (like
a garage-door opener)
•Control window shadings
individually or in groups
•Two-button operation
NOTE: Battery Powered motorized window shadings cannot
be operated from a third party universal remote control. Only
the provided remote can be used for opening and closing these
window shadings.

Sensor Eye Location
Sensor eye is located below the headrail.
NOTE: The manual control button, used for operating a window
shading without a remote, is usually adjacent to the sensor eye.
3
Basic Operation
In its default mode, the remote sends an infrared signal:
1Aim the Remote at the Sensor Eye.
NOTE: For more information about the locations of sensor
eyes, see “Sensor Eye Location” on page 2.
2Press and release the OPEN or
CLOSE button to operate the window
shading.
NOTE: Press and release the opposite or button to
stop a moving window shading.
Try Radio Control
In addition to the default method of operation, the
remote can be set up to use radio control. When
you want the convenience of radio control and
the ability to control multiple window shadings at
the same time, see “Getting Started with Radio
Controll” on page 4.

Radio Control
Getting Started with Radio
Control
Radio control gives you the ability to control individual
window shadings or multiple window shadings at the
same time, even if they are in anotherroom.
Group Assignment
To use radio control, each window shading must first be assigned
to a group. (Note that a window shading can be a member of more
than onegroup.)
NOTE: If your remote has already been set up, skip to “Radio
Control Operation” on page 6.
There are four unique assignable groups to use. A group can be a
single window shading or multiple window shadings.
Before beginning, think about how you will group your window
shadings. For example, you might create a group for all window
shadings in a single room or a group for all window shadings on
one wall. You can use the “Group Assignment Worksheet” on
page 17 to help you plan.

Radio Control
Group Addition or Removal
Before you begin, operate the window shading
using infrared control to make sure that you are
communicating with only one window shading and
that the window shading is working properly.
TIP: Move the remote as close as possible (2"– 3") to the sensor
eye when assigning groups.
1. With a
paperclip,
press and
release the
recessed
SETUP
button on
the back
of the
remote. The
Indicator Light on the front of the remote flashes green for
approximately 30seconds.
2. While the Indicator Light is flashing green, press the group
button for the group to which you plan to assign the window
shading.
3. Point the
remote at the
sensor eye of
the window
shading and
press the
OPEN
button to add
the window
shading to the group or the CLOSE button to remove the
window shading from the group. The window shading moves
slightly (or “jogs”) to indicate that it has been added to or
removed from thegroup.
4. Exit setup mode by pressing and releasing the SETUP button
a second time. The remote saves any changes made and the
Indicator Light stopsflashing.

Radio Control Operation
Operating your window shadings using radio control is much like
using infrared control, except that you can control multiple window
shadings at the same time, even if they are in another room, and
you do not have to aim the remote at the sensor eye.
1. Press the group button assigned to the window shadings.
2. Press the OPEN button to
open the window shading or the
CLOSE button to close the
window shading.
NOTE: To stop a window
shading while it is moving,
press the assigned group button,
then press the opposite
or button.
NOTE: To operate all window
shadings assigned to the remote, press the ALL button before
pressing OPEN orCLOSE .

Setting Up a Duplicate Remote
If you want a backup for your primary remote, you
can quickly duplicate the current remote. When this
procedure is complete, any change made with one
of the remotes also affects the operation of the other
remote. Follow this procedure:
1. Mark the original remote.
2. Remove the battery cover from the duplicate remote.
3. With a paperclip,
press and hold the
MASTER RESET
button on the backup
remote for
approximately 10
seconds. The
Indicator Light on the
front of the remote
starts flashingred.
4. Place the marked original remote within 18" of the backup
remote and press the OPEN button on the marked original.
The Indicator Light on the backup remote stops flashing.
5. Replace the battery cover on the backup remote. It is now
ready for use.

Intermediate Stops
Setting Intermediate Stops
An intermediate stop allows a window shading to be preset so
that it will stop at the same “intermediate” position each time it is
opened or closed.
1. Open and close the window shading fully, then move it to the
desired intermediate position.
2. Press and hold the ALL button
for 6 seconds. The Indicator
Light on the front of the remote
starts flashing green.
3. Point the remote at the sensor
eye and press the OPEN
button to set the intermediate
stop. The window shading
moves slightly (or “jogs”) to
indicate that the intermediate
stop has beenadded.
4. Press the ALL button to save the stop. The Indicator Light
stops flashing.
NOTE: One intermediate stop can be set for each window
shading. If you set a new intermediate stop, it replaces the
previous stop.
NOTE: Reset the window shading to clear an intermediate
stop. See “Resetting a Window Shading” on page 15.
Why Set an Intermediate Stop?
Intermediate stops can be used to align opening height to mullions
or other architectural features of the window. They also can be
used to align the opening height of different window shadings in
the same room. In addition, intermediate stops can be used to
achieve a specific degree of vane tilt every time the vanes are
operated.
