Identify Your Shade Type

The steps below depend on when your shade was manufactured. Look for a manufacturing label on the headrail or back of the shade.

Note: If you can’t find the date, try the 2007–2010 method first.

How to Operate the Remote

Infrared (IR) Shades

• Point the remote directly at the shade from a short distance.
• IR uses line-of-sight, so multiple shades may move at once.
• To control a single shade, stand close and aim directly at the sensor.

Radio Frequency (RF) Shades

• RF allows assigning specific shades to group buttons (1–4).
• No line-of-sight is required, but shades must be programmed to a group.

Shades Manufactured Before 2007

(IR only — no programming required)

• Point the remote at the shade to operate it.
• All nearby IR-compatible shades will respond.
• To isolate one shade, stand very close to it while operating the remote.
