The standard shade has an attached battery wand requiring a spacer block to be used with the
installation bracket, as illustrated on the next page. DC power supply or satellite battery pack will
not require a spacer block.

Center the headrail over the window opening at the desired height. Use a pencil to lightly
mark each end of the headrail.

Alternatively, measure the width of the headrail and use that width to mark the headrail
end points over the window opening.
■
Mark 2" in from each end of the headrail.
➤
If more than two installation brackets came with your order, space additional bracket(s)
evenly between the two end brackets and mark their location. Mount into wood
whenever possible.

With shades using a battery wand, there must be a minimum of 15½" between brackets
at the motor end.
➤
