Window Shadings with hard-wired motorization are recommended
for professional installation only. Planning and wiring should be completed before the shadings
are installed.
Motorized shadings ship with the motor installed inside the headrail. All other components
required for operation are ordered separately. Consult a home automation professional if
integrating with a home automation system.
Please thoroughly review this instruction booklet and the enclosed packing list before beginning
the installation. Check the packaging to be sure you have all the components needed to install
the shadings. Keep the packaging until the shadings perform to your satisfaction. Do not remove
the protective plastic cover on the headrail until after each shading is installed.
