# Roller Shades Operating Instructions

Reviewed by our installation team

Chain Operated

## To lower the window shade:

 Grasp the beaded chain length furthest away from you and pull downward in a controlled manner.

## To raise the window blind

 Grasp the beaded chain length closest to you and pull downward in a controlled manner.

###  Note

 If the roller is reversed/inverted the positions to raise and lower the roller shade are also reversed.

###  Caution

 **Do not use excessive force or speed when pulling the chain in any direction** as this can cause damage to roller shade fabric and may also affect the leveling of the roller shade (which will also end up causing damage to roller fabric). Do not allow the shade roller to become exposed by running the shade fabric too far down. In most cases, roller shades will be provided with stoppers to establish travel limits so that this does not occur. **Do not force the roller beyond the stopper** as this may cause the stopper to become lodged in the clutch mechanism which will affect the functionality of the roller shade and could possibly damage the clutch mechanism.

###  Contact us if:

- Your roller shade fabric starts fraying on one side from regular use. Stop using the shade and call our team right away.
- The fabric rolls unevenly onto the tube when you raise or lower it, which can eventually damage the roller fabric. Stop using the shade and contact us right away.

### Motor Operated

## To lower the window shade:

 On the corresponding remote-control unit, choose the channel that corresponds to the desired roller shade and press the DOWN arrow button (you can use the CENTER button at any point to stop the roller shade at any desired length).

## To raise the window blind

 Press the UP arrow button on the remote-control unit (you can use the CENTER button at any point to stop the roller shade at any desired length).

## To charge the motors

 Connect the provided charger to the corresponding receiver located behind the roller shade and leave the charger plugged in overnight (the light on the charging unit will turn green when fully charged). Please make sure to confirm the location of the receiving plug on the roller shade with your installer at the time of installation.
