BLIND OR SHADE should only be installed indoors and away from sources of moisture. For optimal performance of the Solar Cell, keep the exterior glass surface clean of dust and dirt. It is recommended that the exterior glass surface be cleaned every 6 months or whenever dirt noticeably builds on the glass. Use a glass cleaner and soft cloth. REPLACING THE BATTERIES The battery pack used in this product is recharged by the solar cell or by using the Insynctive Wall Charger. Battery life is dependent upon a number of factors such as number of charge/discharge cycles and average temperature in the environment. Battery life is expected to exceed 3 years in most applications. When the battery reaches the end of its life, it will lose its charge quickly and will require the batteries to be charged with the wall charger on a more frequent basis. If this occurs, contact customer service.
! Batteries carry the risk of fire, explosion and burns. Do not disassemble or incinerate.
! Failure to properly and timely change battery will impair BLIND OR SHADE performance.
NOTE: BLIND OR SHADE does not need to be re-synced to REMOTE or BRIDGE following a battery change. NOTE: Properly dispose of used batteries based on your local requirements. A best practice is to dispose of batteries at your local Home Chemical Collection Center.

HOME SHADE Periodically, you may notice that the fully open position for Bottom Up Cellular SHADES or Raise and Lower BLINDS or the fully closed position for Top Down Cellular SHADES has drifted lower. This occurs due to normal wear and use of the shade and can be corrected by Homing SHADE or BLIND. The Homing process will cause SHADE or BLIND to move up until it is fully compressed. SHADE or BLIND then resets the position. To initiate the Homing Process, press and hold the UP button on REMOTE until SHADE or BLIND reaches the top point of travel. Continue to press and hold the UP button for about 5s until SHADE or BLIND begins to move up. SHADE or BLIND will stop moving when it fully compresses and will reset the zero position. FACTORY RESET This procedure will reset BLIND OR SHADE to Factory Default conditions. All positions will be restored to the original settings from the Factory. Slide the HGP latch releases side to side or up and down to open the HGP. Locate the small hole in the top cover about 4 from the end where the wire connects. Insert a paperclip or other small tool into the hole to depress the reset switch for about 3s. SHADE or BLIND will move to top position to acknowledge successful reset. TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM SHADE/BLIND is moving slowly CAUSE AND RECOMMENDED ACTION Batteries are low. Batteries may be recharged with wall charger. If problem persists after charging batteries for 8 hrs, contact customer service. If the light on the remote is blinking the SHADE/BLIND is in Program Mode and runs at a slower rate to allow for easier positioning of the shade to the desired location. Wait 2 minutes and the SHADE/BLIND and remote will exit program mode. SHADE/BLIND will not move Verify that all connectors are firmly plugged in at SHADE OR BLIND headrail and Power Unit.
