Operation 
Individual Mode 
• By default, the shade will function on Channel 1.  Ensure that the Channel 
Selector is switched to Channel 1 by moving it to the left position.  (If Channel 
2 is desired, switch the Channel Selector to the right position.) 
• Point the remote control at the window covering you wish to control.  Try to point 
at the receiver of the window covering as much as possible.  While pointing, 
briefly press the UP or DOWN button as desired.  A brief press of the button will 
cause the desired shade to move continually in the desired direction.  Note that the 
Indicator LED lights red when pushing the UP or DOWN button.  This 
indicates that you are in Individual Mode. 
• To stop the shade, point the remote control at the window covering.  While 
pointing, press either the UP or DOWN button.  Either one will stop the shade. 
• If the shade is not stopped while moving, it will automatically stop at its end limit. 
Group Mode 
Please see programming instructions below before attempting to use the Group Mode. 
• In order to operate a group, the desired Group button must be pushed (Group 1, 
Group 2, Group 3, or Group 4).   Note that the Indicator LED lights green 
after the Group button is pushed.  This indicates that the remote is in Group 
Mode.  It will stay in this mode with the green Indicator LED for three seconds, 
and then return to Individual Mode. 
• While in Group Mode, press the UP or DOWN button to operate the window 
covering group as desired.  A brief press of the button will cause the group of 
window coverings to move continually in the desired direction.  Note that the 
Indicator LED is still green and that the remote will remain in Group Mode for 
three seconds after operation. 
• To stop the group, enter the desired Group Mode as described above.  Press either 
the UP or DOWN button.  Either one will stop the shade. 
• If the shade is not stopped while moving, it will automatically stop at its end limit. 
• All Functionality 
o All of the window coverings included in groups may be controlled 
simultaneously via the ALL Button.   
o Use the ALL button just as the Group buttons are used.  Press the ALL 
button briefly, and then press the UP or DOWN button as desired. 
o Every shade that currently belongs to a group will operate as commanded. 
• Note that pointing is not necessary to control groups.  Control of window 
coverings in groups is possible in other rooms or areas out of the line of sight of 
the remote control. 
Programming 
Individual Mode 
No programming is necessary to operate window coverings in Individual Mode.  The 
remote will operate the window coverings in Channel 1 right out of the box.  If Channel 2 
operation is required, follow these steps to change the channel on the window covering: 
• Switch the remote control to Channel 2 by sliding the Channel Selector to the 
right. 
• Press and hold down the button on the receiver. 
• Point the remote control at the receiver and press the UP button for three seconds.   
The shade should move slightly to indicate that the programming has taken place. 
Group Mode 
• To add window coverings into groups or remove window coverings from Groups, 
you must first depress the Program button on the back of the remote control.  
Use the end of a paperclip or a pushpin to do this.  After the Program button has 
been pressed the Indicator LED on the front of the remote control will flash 
green.  This indicates the remote control is in Programming Mode.  It will stay in 
Programming Mode until the Program button is pressed again or until 30 
seconds have passed without any buttons being pushed. 
• Adding Window Coverings to a Group 
o To add a window covering into a group, briefly press the desired Group 
button.   Then point the remote control at the window covering you wish 
to add and briefly press the UP button.  Note that the window covering 
will jitter up and down briefly to indicate that it has been added. 
o At this point, the remote control is still in Programming Mode.    
• Removing Window Coverings to a Group 
o To remove a window covering from a group, briefly press the desired 
Group button.   Then point the remote control at the window covering 
you wish to remove and briefly press the DOWN button.  Note that the 
window covering will jitter up and down briefly to indicate that it has been 
removed. 
o At this point, the remote control is still in Programming Mode 
• Since the remote control remains in Programming mode, other window coverings 
can be added to or removed from any of the 4 groups by repeating the previous 
steps. 
• When programming is completed, briefly press the Program button on the back 
of the remote control.  The LED on the front should stop blinking, indicating that 
you are back in normal operating mode. 
• Clearing All Group Programming 
o To clear all of the group programming that has been done with a remote 
control, you must press the Reset button on the back of the remote for 10 
seconds. 
o To access this button, remove the battery cover and press the recessed 
button with the end of a paperclip or a pushpin. 
o Upon clearing the entire group programming, none of the window 
coverings will respond to Group Mode commands until they have been 
added to a group. 
o Even with the group programming cleared, the window coverings are still 
fully functional in the Individual Mode.
