REMOTE FOR MOTIVIA MOTORIZATION ONLY (OPTIONAL)

OverviewStep 1 — Parts & Tools

Standard Control Wood BlindsFirst, make sure you have all the parts and tools required to install your shades.

ALL THE HARDWARE YOU’LL NEED: Pencil, screwdriver, ¼” nut driver, level, and a drill with a 1⁄16” drill bit.

Then find wooden studs where you’ll want to attach the brackets; if you need to mount your shades to wallboard or plaster, use a secure fastener designed for hollow wall applications. For metal surfaces, pre-drill holes and use the included screws. For concrete, stone, brick, or tile surfaces, use a masonry drill and appropriate plugs, anchors, or screws.

It’s important when selecting a fastener to make sure it’s designed to support the weight of the shade . Follow the fastener manufacturer’s instruction from there on out .

Step 2 — Mounting BracketsStep 2 — Mounting Brackets

Inside Mount

Place mounting brackets level and 1 inch from the window frame . Screw into the window frame through the holes on the inside of the bracket as shown . Always use all brackets supplied. All blinds over 54” wide require the use of center support brackets - see below on how to attach center support bracket . Always use at least two screws per bracket to ensure a strong, secure mount.

Please note: Blinds with ladder tapes require the use of the bracket shims provided to ensure proper blind operation .

Attaching Center Support BracketsFor wider blinds you will need to install center support brackets . Center support brackets should be spaced evenly along the width of the blind, aligned with tops and backs of end brackets . If needed center support brackets can be attached to an extension bracket as illustrated . Make sure the brackets are positioned so they do not interfere with the operation of blind . About 1" offset from the center ladder .

Outside or Ceiling Mount

Hold the blind in the desired position and mark the window frame or ceiling 1⁄4” past each end of the headrail with a pencil .

Remove the blind and place the mounting brackets level with the pencil marks .

Be certain that the mounting brackets are aligned with each other . Secure with the screws provided . If using extension brackets proceed to instructions below, otherwise, proceed to Step 3 .

Attaching Optional Extension Bracket for Outside Mounts:

Extension brackets are used to project the blind out from the mounting surface to clear obstructions such as window cranks and door knobs . Place extension brackets level on pencil marks . Be certain that the extension brackets are aligned with each other . Secure extension brackets to the wall with the screws supplied . Using the supplied nuts and short bolts, attach mounting bracket to extension bracket as shown .

NOTE: If mounting your brackets to a wooden window casing, pre-drill the mounting screw holes at least 1⁄4" from the edge of the wood to prevent the screws from splitting the casing .

My blind doesn’t lift.Check to make sure cord is not caught in headrail. If hold down clips were used, make sure they have been released.

My blind will raise and lower but will not tilt.

Your brackets may be mounted too close to the top of the window casement, causing the tilt mechanism to bind. If your blind has decorative cloth tapes, use the shims provided to move the blind away from the casement. Or Check inside the headrail for obstructions. Make sure all of the slats are laying properly on the ladders.

My blind raises unevenly.Raise blind to the “up” position, open the tassel, untie the knots on the cords, even out the cords, then re-tie the knots and reassemble the tassel.

My slats are hanging out of alignment.Lower the blind completely. While firmly holding the bottom rail, gently tug on the lift cords until the slats are even.

My inside mounted blind slides back and forth between the brackets when operated.

Using a screwdriver, bend out the adjustable end tabs on the sides of the headrail.

The cords are hanging out of the bottom rail.

The bottom rail buttons may be broken or missing. If broken, you can remove the broken pieces with needle nose pliers; call customer service for replacement buttons.

One side of the blind does not raise.

Make sure the lift cords are still fastened to the bottom rail. If they are not please call customer service for assistance.

OrLook inside the headrail to make sure that cords are not caught on or under something.

Troubleshooting Care & Cleaning

Safety

Care & Cleaning

Occasional light vacuuming with a soft bristle attachment or gentle feather dusting is all that is required to keep your blinds looking fresh and neat. For maximum results, lower blinds to full length, then tilt slats until almost fully closed to dust. Repeat for reverse side of slats .

Safety First . Style Second To None™ .

Great style should never come at the cost of safety . Every Smith & Noble window treatment conforms strictly to today’s safety standards, including permanent tie-down devices and built-in cord stops . Mount the cord cleat at a safe height, taking into account furniture or other objects upon which a child may climb. Then, after each use of the shade, simply wrap the excess cord around the cleat. It's fast, easy and safe. To obtain a free cord cleat call us at 800 .248 .8888 or visit smithandnoble .com/childsafety . To protect young children and pets, there’s no better way to eliminate risk than to use one of our cordless products .

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The motor does not work

1. Check that the power source and motor are connected properly.

2. If using a battery pack - confirm that the batteries are fresh

The indicator light on the remote does not shine or the remote controlling range becomes shorter.

Replace the battery in the remote (CR2450 Lithium)

The motor stops working or works intermittently

Replace the batteries in the wand with 8 fresh AA lithium batteries.

If these suggestions don’t work, then please give us a call or refer to our Motorization Guide online.
