How to Install Motorized Deluxe Light Filtering Solar Shades

1. 1

   Install the shade before you try to operate the motor.

2. 2

   If you are mounting into hollow drywall or plaster, get wall anchors (not included).

3. 3

   If your shade comes pre-mounted in a decorative aluminum cover (cassette valance), follow the cassette instructions below instead of mounting the separate brackets.

1. 1

   Identify the brackets: the motor-end bracket has a tab that fits into the motor housing, and the pin-end bracket has a slot that the shade's pin end slides into.

2. 2

   Hold each bracket in place on the window frame, molding or ceiling and mark the screw locations with a pencil.

3. 3

   Pre-drill the screw holes with a 5/64" drill bit when attaching to a wall stud or header board.

4. 4

   Screw the brackets in place.

The shade comes pre-mounted in the cassette. It can be removed from the cassette to adjust the tension if needed.

1. 1

   For an outside mount, screw the mounting brackets to the wall through their rear holes.

2. 2

   For an inside or ceiling mount, screw the mounting brackets up into the top of the opening or ceiling through their top holes.

3. 3

   Slide the groove at the back-bottom of the headrail into the bottom of each mounting bracket.

4. 4

   Push the headrail forward and up until it snaps into the top of each bracket.

1. 1

   Follow the dedicated programming and operating instructions that came with your shade. If you can't find them, contact Customer Service.
