Troubleshooting

If your blind is not operating correctly:

 

Review the support guide

 for your control device.

 

Refer to the following troubleshooting procedures for specific solutions for your blind.

If questions remain, please contact Hunter Douglas Consumer Support at 

(800) 789-0331.

Problem

The blind will not fit into the installation brackets.

Solution

Check that the installation brackets are level and aligned. Adjust and/or shim 
to level, if necessary. 
Be sure the heads of the mounting screws are flush against the installation 
brackets.
Check that the headrail is completely inserted into the installation brackets. 
See “Mount the Headrail” on page 14.

Problem

Batteries in the battery wand need to be replaced.

Solution

Replace the batteries in the battery wand.
Squeeze the cap latch to 
release the cap and remove 
the cap from the battery wand.
Install the batteries according 
to the instructions on the 
battery wand label.
Press the cap on until it 
latches.

NOTE:  

Hunter Douglas recommends AA alkaline batteries for use with our 

battery-powered blinds. These will provide more than one year of operation, 
depending on usage. Lithium and rechargeable batteries are not recommended.
