NOTE
: If the HORIZONTAL
BLIND MOUNT B extends
beyond the top or the side of
the blind’s header, trim the
HORIZONTAL BLIND MOUNT
B to fit [Fig. 9]. Additionally, if
you have a valance installed on
the blinds, make sure the top
of the neck of the HORIZONTAL
BLIND MOUNT B is even with
or slightly below the bottom of
the valance.
Figure 9; Trim the Blind Mount
Now that you have determined
the final position of the
HORIZONTAL BLIND MOUNT
B , verify the header is dry from
pre-cleaning, then remove the
backing on the adhesive strip
[Fig. 10] and firmly press to
attach it to the blind’s header.
Figure 10; Remove Adhesive
It is important for the blind
mount to have a secure
connection to the header. Based
on the construction of your
blinds and the results of the two
tests [Fig. 6 and Fig. 7], it may be
necessary to add the supplied
EXTRA ADHESIVE STRIPS F to
your blind’s header to build the
mounting attachment outward
[Fig. 8].

VERTICAL BLINDS INSTALLATION GUIDE
Make sure the blind slats are uniformly opened in the tilted fully
opened positon, then remove the original manual tilt wand.
Remove the adjacent vertical slat
and the original twist wand.
Remove the adjacent vertical
slat by carefully pushing the slat
upward and then sideways [Fig.
11] to allow for proper positioning
of the vertical blind mount.

blind mount [Fig. 13.1].
Figure 13; Attach to Vertical Blinds
Before installing the SMART WAND™, make sure you are able to freely
tilt your blinds in both directions by turning the twist wand which
came with your blinds. If there is significant resistance you may need
to contact your blind manufacturer.
The SMART WAND™ is not
compatible with vertical blinds that use a rope or chain to tilt the
slats.

During this test fit you are
looking to verify that the blind
mount can rest completely flush
to the header AND that the blind
slats resting in the fully open
position are not touching the
SMART WAND™ .
You have now completed installing your SMART WAND™. You may
now proceed to Programming the SMART WAND™ [Pg. 13].
