1. Mounting the Brackets

Inside Mount

Note: Corded and cordless shades have pre-drilled holes in the headrail. Use these for bracket placement. If using your own screws, pre-drill a small hole with a 5/64" drill bit before final screw attachment.

1. Hold the shade inside the window frame, flush with the wall. Mark through each headrail hole with a pencil.
2. Position brackets over marks, aligning with drop-bolts. Mark screw locations.
3. Align brackets with marks and securely fasten screws with a Phillips drill bit.

Outside Mount

Note: If using your own screws, pre-drill a small hole with a 5/64" drill bit before final screw attachment.

1. Center the headrail 2-4 inches above the window. Mark lines above each pre-drilled headrail hole.
2. Align the top edge of brackets with marks. Mark screw locations through the back holes of the bracket.
3. Align brackets with marks and securely fasten screws.

*If using wall anchors, pre-drill with a 1/4" bit, tap anchors into holes, then drill screws.

2. Attaching the Shade

Inside and Outside Mount

IMPORTANT: Ensure the "wings" of the wingnut face the sides of the window to prevent cord tangling or damage.

1. Remove wingnuts from brackets if not already done.
2. Fit headrail pre-drilled holes onto bracket drop-bolts. Attach wingnuts to drop-bolts and tighten until the shade is secure.

Troubleshooting

Question: None of the backlit buttons illuminate on my remote when I press the buttons?

Answer: Check if the battery needs replacement or is inserted properly and not damaged.

Question: When I try to add a blind to the app or remote, there's no response?
