Problem Rechargeable battery needs recharging (continued).
Solution Recharging Via the Dual Charging Station
■ Plug the dual charging station into a standard AC outlet.
■ Insert the nose of the rechargeable battery wand into one of the slots of the dual
charging station.
■ The battery will firmly snap into place. A red light indicator on the front of the
charging station will turn on when the battery wand has been properly inserted
and being charged.
■ Once the battery has been fully recharged, the red light indicator will turn green.
Charging may take up to three hours, depending on your battery level.
■ Remove the battery wand from the charger.
Recharging Via the Single Charger
Remove the rechargeable battery wand from the mount, or insert the single charger
cable without removing from the shading.
■ Attach the plug adapter to the charger.
■ Plug the charger into a standard AC outlet.
■ Plug the charging cable into the charging outlet on the rechargeable battery wand.
The charging outlet is near the nose of the wand.
■ A red light indicator confirms the battery wand is properly inserted and is charging.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to plug the charging cable into the battery mount’s
power socket. Doing so will not only fail to charge the battery wand but could possibly
cause damage to both the single charger and the battery mount.
■ Once the battery has been fully recharged, the red light indicator will turn green.
Not this
socket
Charging may take up to two hours, depending on your battery level.

■ Insert the nose of the battery wand into the cavity of the battery mount.
■ Push the battery wand flush into the mount until the battery snaps into place.
Problem The blind does not raise or lower evenly.
Solution Check inside the headrail. Make sure no obstructions keep the mechanism from turning.
Check that the lift cords are not pinched or tangled.
Problem Lift cords are bunching by the safety cord connector.
Solution Make sure the slats are in the open position. Raise and lower the blind to straighten the lift cords.
Problem Lift cords are stuck or jammed.
Solution Check the cords and the moveable pin in the cordlock mechanism inside the headrail of the blind. Make sure the
cords can move freely. If the cords are jammed, use a screwdriver or needle-nose pliers to move the pin and free the
cords.

INSTALLATION
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Decorative tapes are wrinkled after installation.
Solution Use a steamer to steam out the wrinkles. Wave the steamer in front of the tapes for a few seconds. Do not touch the
slats with the steamer. To avoid stretching the tapes, do not pull down on the bottom rail while steaming.
Problem When hanging, the slat pack appears to be skewed toward the cordlock side of the unit, particularly in an inside
mount installation.
Solution Slide the headrail in the end brackets in the opposite direction of the skew and adjust the tabs in the end brackets to
maintain the position of the unit, This will center the slat pack in the window.
Problem The blind does not operate using the programming button.
Solution Unplug the power cable from the motor, then plug it back in. A green LED light inside the programming button
housing should flash to indicate the motor has power.
Check that the batteries in the battery wand, satellite battery wand, or C-size satellite battery wand are correctly
inserted and fresh.
Check that the power source is securely connected to the power cable and the cables are not pinched or caught in
the headrail or installation brackets.
Problem The blind is not responding to the Automation remote.
Solution IMPORTANT: A blind will not operate until it is joined to a group.
Check that the correct group number is selected. The LED on that group number will light up. You can also check
which group number the blind is joined to on the remote in the Automation App. You can find this under MORE >
ACCESSORIES in the App.
Check if the batteries need to be replaced. If the batteries are completely drained, none of the lights will turn on. If
the batteries are running low, the inner ring buttons (open, close, right arrow, left arrow, stop) light up RED. In either
case, the batteries need to be replaced. The remote takes two CR2032 batteries.
Problem The blind is operating slowly or does not tilt completely.
Solution The batteries may be low in the battery wand, satellite battery wand, or C-size battery wand. Replace the batteries.
Check that the power source is securely connected to the power cable and the cables are not pinched or caught in
the headrail or installation brackets.
The blind may need to be reset. Refer to “Resetting the Blind, If Necessary” on page 13.
Problem The LED light behind the programming button of the transceiver assembly signals 8 red blinks.
Solution This is the low battery indicator. Replace the batteries in the battery wand.

INSTALLATION
CARE
Removing the Blind (If Necessary)
■ Fully raise the blind.
■ To remove the valance gently pull the valance up and towards you.
■ Push up on the bottom end of the bracket to release the locking tab.
■ Grab underneath the headrail using both hands and carefully pull the blind out of the end brackets.
Cleaning Procedures
Like any fine furnishings, Kirsch® Wood Blinds Collection should be cleaned regularly to keep them looking new.
Dusting
■ Dust regularly. Use a soft clean cloth, chemically-treated dust cloth, or dusting mitt. Lower the blind until it is full length, tilt
the slats almost all the way down, and dust. Then tilt the slats almost all the way up and dust. (Not closing the slats all the way
allows dusting where the slats overlap.)
■ Blinds may also be vacuumed. Use the brush attachment and tilt the slats up and down as described for dusting.
■ Another way to clean blinds is simply by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth.
Wood Blinds
■ Stained blinds, like wood furniture, should be treated periodically with lemon oil or other wood preservative to protect their
finish and enhance their luster.
IMPORTANT: Kirsch does not recommend ultrasonic cleaning of wood blinds.
A Note About Wood Products
Kirsch Wood Blinds Collection are true wood products, made from 100% hardwood. There will be variations in color, grain, and
texture that are characteristics of all woods. These variations will be especially visible in blinds with light color stains. The variations
are normal and are considered acceptable.
