Our Premier Shades installation team will set this all up for you when they install your blinds.
To reset the bottom/top limit:
1. close your blind to where it automatically stops;
2. hold the up and down button at the same time for about 10 seconds - you will see the blind 'jiggle';
3. use the up and down buttons to set the new limit; and
4. then, hold down the middle "my" button until the blind 'jiggles' to set the new limit.2
