Operating Instructions

Adjusting Light and Privacy:
- Rotate Slats: Use the control wand (if applicable) or gently grasp a slat and rotate it to adjust the angle of the blinds. This allows you to control the amount of light entering the room and your level of privacy.
- Open/Close Blinds: To open the blinds and stack the slats, gently push or pull the lead slat in the desired direction (left or right). To close, pull the lead slat back across the opening.
