Install Cord Cleats
Select a mounting surface such as wood, drywall, or metal.
Measure and mark two positions 6″ to 12″ apart, with the bottom cleat mounted at least 64″ from the floor.
Drill ⅛″ pilot holes at both marked positions.
Use the included 1″ screws to attach each cleat securely.
Wrap the Cord Safely
After operating the shade, wrap the excess cord securely around the cleats.
If the cord does not fit, increase the spacing between the cleats to allow more room for wrapping.
Important: Always wrap cords completely after each use. Keeping cords out of reach reduces the risk of entanglement and helps protect young children.
