Reset the Top and Bottom Limits for All Non-Roller Shades

1. Press and hold the manual button on the headrail for about six seconds until the shade jogs (moves slightly).
   
   Note: The manual button is typically located on the left or right side of the headrail, below the headrail, or on a satellite eye.
2. Release the manual button.
3. Operate the shade to test the limit.
