If the fit is correct, follow the remaining steps in this section to hang the blind in the mounting brackets.

3.2 Prepare the Blind:a. If the blind has a plug-in power supply, carefully remove the bundled length of power cable from inside the headrail. Decide now where the power cable will be routed and orient it accordingly, but for safety, keep it bundled and wrapped until step 5.2.

b. Extend the blind by grasping the center of the bottom bar and pulling it away from the headrail. This is done to separate the top slat from the headrail so that the slat is clear of the mounting brackets in step 3.3. It is not necessary to extend the blind fully.

3.3 Hang the Blind:a. Insert the headrail between and into the mounting brackets, and also into the center support, if applicable.

b. Close each bracket door, pressing it firmly closed to ensure the tab on the bracket engages through the slot in the bracket door.

O Troubleshooting:

ProblemThe blind does not power up when batteries are insertedThe blind does not power up when the power supply is connected

Solution· Verify all batteries are new and of the correct type· Remove all batteries and reinstall, ensuring they are oriented correctly· Ensure the EDU power connector is fully inserted (see location of EDU power connector at right)· Verify the electrical outlet used is powered· Ensure the power wire is properly connected· Ensure the EDU power connector is fully inserted (see location of EDU power connector at right)

ProblemThe blind does not respond to remote controlThe shade button LED flashes RED

Solution· Ensure the remote control is within the product’s RF range; 30 ft (9 m)· Inspect the antenna and ensure it is routed and secured in the notches as shown at right; correct if necessary· If a system is installed, ensure the remote control is assigned in the app· An obstacle is preventing the blind from moving to the desired position or preset· If this condition occurs while setting the View, Privacy, or Favorite position (Section 6), the slats may be closed too tightly — open the slats slightly, then save the new position
