Step 1 Parts & Tools Overview Getting Started Motorized Honeycomb Skylight First, make sure you have all the parts and tools required to install your shades. ALL THE HARDWARE YOU LL NEED: Pencil, screw-driver, ¼ nut driver, level, and a drill with a 1 16 drill bit. Then find wooden studs where you ll want to attach the brackets; if you need to mount your shades to wallboard or plaster, use a secure fastener designed for hollow wall applications. For metal surfaces, pre-drill holes and use the included screws. For concrete, stone, brick, or tile surfaces, use a masonry drill and appropriate plugs, anchors, or screws. Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shade may be required. It s important when selecting a fastener to make sure it s designed to support the weight of the shade. Follow the fastener manufacturer s instruction from there on out.

Step 2 Battery Pack Placement Step 3 Installing the Brackets Placement of Battery Pack Shades 20" wide and wider have the rechargeable battery inside the head rail. Shades under 20" wide require the rechargeable battery to be mounted on the back of the head rail. This requires an additional 1/2" clearance for mounting. 3" Shades are shipped with the required number of brackets for proper installation. End brackets should be located approximately 3" from either end. SHADES UNDER 20" WIDE 1/2" MOUNTING BRACKETS Depending on the width of the shade, additional brackets may be necessary, evenly spaced between the two end brackets. Using the mounting bracket as a template, measure to the edge of the bracket and mark the hole locations with a pencil for drilling. When mounting brackets, make sure they are in line with each other. 5 smithandnoble.com 800.248.8888 6
