What is the proper procedure to operate a Day/Night shade?
While it is possible to raise or lower both halves of the shade at the same time, it is not recommended because it accelerates wear and tear. We suggest that the bottom rail be lowered first and then lower the center rail. Reverse the procedure when raising the shade. Be sure to use two hands evenly spaced whenever possible. If it is necessary to use one hand, work from as close to center as possible. There are no Maintenance Free window shades. Treat them gently like you would a Loved One and you will minimize the maintenance.
