Standard Operation

 

 
TO RAISE BLIND: 

Pull cord towards the middle and down until 

blind reaches desired height. Return the cord to vertical 
position to re-engage the locking mechanism.

 

 

 

TO LOWER BLIND: 

Gently pull cord toward center of blind 

until lock releases. Let cord slip slowly through fingers until 
blind reaches desired height. Move cord toward outside of 
blind and release. Blind will lock automatically.

balancing the bottom rail with your other hand. Fully press the center button with 
your thumb and gently lift the bottom rail.  Allow the slats to stack evenly by 
gradually lifting the bottom rail while the center button is fully depressed.  Hold 
the rail still at the desired position while releasing the button.

bottom rail slightly toward you. Press the center button 
and gently raise the bottom rail. Once the desired

the button. Place the blind back into the window 
opening and the blind will stay in that position.

Prior to lowering the blind, fully press the center button with 

your thumb and pull the bottomrail down to the desired height while the button 
is fully depressed.  Once the blind reaches the preferred position, hold it there 
while releasing the button and the blind will stay in that position. 
 

NOTE:

 When lowering Inside Mount blinds to the full-down position, pull the 

bottom rail down and slightly toward you, approximately 1" beyond the sill. 
Release the button, then lift and place the bottom rail up onto the sill.
