A few simple tools are required:
- Measuring tape
- Power drill, drill bits
- 1⁄4” Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit
- Flat Head Screwdriver
Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shade may be required
depending on the mounting surface. Wallboard and plaster require the use of
anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick, tile or stone need special plugs
and drill bits. Remember to always pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting.

6STEP 5: ADJUST TENSION
Start by raising the middle rail up to the
top rail, compressing the fabric stack
Cords
tightly. This will insure the leveling of the
middle rail. Holding the middle rail in
that position, start tightening one of the
tension bolts (either side) using a flat head
screwdriver. Tensioning Bolts
When turning the tensioning bolt
clockwise to tighten, you should see the
slack in the cord being removed. The
tensioning bolt should not be able to
turn back by itself. If it does, you need
to tighten the nut on the back of the
tensioning bolt.
Turn the bolt until all slack is removed, but
the cord is not tight. Repeat the process
for the other side.
7The final cord adjustment now needs
to be made. The number of turns in
tightening the tension bolts will vary
from shade to shade.
Start by tightening each side one
full turn. Try operating the shade
from full open to full closed. If
the shade feels tight or is difficult Tighten
to move; decrease the amount of
tension in each side equally (turn bolt
counterclockwise). If the shade won’t
stay fully open or closed; increase
the amount of tension in each side Loosen
equally (turn bolt clockwise). If the
middle rail won’t close evenly across
the bottom rail then you need to adjust
one or both of the cords to get equal
amounts of tension in each.
When installation is complete, operate
the shade up and down several times
to evenly distribute the grease.
Wipe off any excess grease to prevent it
from getting on the fabric.
8OPERATION
To lower the shade, pull down on the handle which is secured to the middle rail.
To raise the shade, push the middle rail up. The shade will hold at any position
when the middle rail is released.
For out of reach shades, use the optional extension pole to access the handle.

CLEANING AND CARE
The shade fabric is easy to care for. Regular dusting with a feather duster or
vacuum cleaner brush is recommended. Most stains can be blotted with a damp
sponge and mild detergent. Before using anything stronger than mild detergent
and lukewarm water, test an unobtrusive corner of the shade. If you have any
questions, call your dealer for advice.

- 1⁄4” Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit
- Pencil
- Rubbing Alcohol (if mounting solar panel to glass)
Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shade may be required

Shades are shipped with the required
number of brackets for proper 3”

installation. End brackets should be
located approximately 3” from either
end. Depending on the width of the
shade, additional brackets may be
necessary, evenly spaced between the
two end brackets.
Using the installation bracket as a
template, measure to the edge of the
bracket and mark the hole locations
with a pencil for drilling. When
mounting brackets, make sure they are
in line.
STEP 3: INSTALL SOLAR PANEL
(IF NOT USING SOLAR PANEL SKIP TO STEP 4)
The solar recharge unit should be placed
where is gets the maximum amount of
sunlight per day. In most cases this can be
achieved by mounting the unit directly to
the glass with double sided tape.
Brackets are provided if attaching to the glass
is not possible.
The brackets may be mounted several
different ways depending on the application Bottom portion of the bracket

3INSTALL SOLAR RECHARGE UNIT
Remove the clear protective sheet from the solar panel glass.
Tape Method
Cut the tape (part # MI051045) to fit inside
the white border as shown. Clean the ends
of the solar panel where the tape will go
with rubbing alcohol. When dry, remove
the release liner from one side of the
double sided tape and adhere them to face
of the panel. Make sure to put the tape on
the face (black side) of the panel.
Clean the window surface with rubbing Double sided tape
alcohol. When dry, remove the release
liners and attach the solar panel to the
glass, pressing firmly to adhere.
Bracket Method
If using brackets, set the bottom groove
of the unit onto the bottom bracket
hook. Then press the top of the unit
until it snaps into place.
If space is limited it may be easier to
attach the brackets to the solar unit
before screwing the brackets in place.

23EQUALIZATION - IF NECESSARY
Motorized Skylight Shades use a system that allows easy leveling of the moving
rail. Use a flat head screwdriver or a coin (a quarter works best) to turn the
adjustment screw to raise or lower that side of the moving rail. The adjustment
screws are on the top of the moving rail. One quarter turn of the screw will move
the moving rail up or down approximately 1⁄4”. Over-turning the adjustment
screw (more than 1” of adjustment) can cause the cord to tangle or wedge
inside the rail. The screw should turn easily - DO NOT FORCE.
If the rail is uneven at the If the stack is uneven at the
top, raise the low side with bottom, lower the high side
the outer adjustment screw. with the inner adjustment
screw.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
When the shade begins to operate slower than normal
it is time to charge the battery.
Plug the 8.4v charger into the charging wire. The
charging wire is attached to the back of the head rail at
the right end. If a solar panel is being used, unplug it
from the charging wire.
Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
A red light on the charger indicates that the battery is
charging.
Charging
Allow the batteries to charge until the light on the wire
charger turns green. A typical charge cycle can take
between 4-6 hours.
Do not leave the charger plugged in for more than 24
hours. This could prematurely age the battery.
24REPLACING THE BATTERY IN THE REMOTE
Remove the battery tray from the

remote by inserting a fingernail into the
indentation on the back of the remote.
To avoid the battery falling out of the
remote, remove the tray while the remote
is face up.
LITHIUM BATTERY
CR2430 3V
Insert the new battery (CR2430 lithium)
into the battery tray so that the writing is
facing up (positive up) when the remote
is face up. Slide the tray back into the
remote.
SHADE REMOVAL
To remove a shade, first remove the side tracks.
Then insert a screwdriver between the rail and the
bottom back of the bracket (tab which extends out
slightly from each bracket).
Gently pry the screwdriver to release the bracket
from the rail. Take care not to damage the painted
finish of the rail. Insert screwdriver

As you release the brackets, support the rail to keep
it from falling.
CLEANING AND CARE
The shade fabric is easy to care for. Regular dusting with a feather duster or
vacuum cleaner brush is recommended. Most stains can be blotted with a damp
sponge and mild detergent. Before using anything stronger than mild detergent
and lukewarm water, test an unobtrusive corner of the shade. If you have any
questions, call your dealer for advice.
