Raise Shade to Access Battery Wand
If the shade’s fabric is down and the motor is not operating, use the following method to access the battery wand:
Locate two straight edges, such as credit cards. Cover them with a cloth to prevent damage.
Insert the straight edges on each side of the shade where the moving rail meets the stationary bottom rail.
Firmly but gently push both ends upward at the same time. Do not move the moving rail more than six inches.
From this position, you can access the stationary bottom rail cover of the battery wand.
