We just brought our 2024 210qb home today and the pleated shades, of all things, have us puzzled. They are currently in the up position with the strings on either side pulled taut and attached to the wall.

How do we go about lowering these things?
 
Just pull them straight down. The strings are like guides for them. Can be a pain till you get used to where to grab them. Mine work best with a hand on each side.
 
You can adjust the tension by turning the plastic disk on the wall that the strings are tied to. Just use a screwdriver to loosen or tighten. Too tight and the strings will fray out faster. Too loose and your shades won’t stay up. You’ll get the hang of it.
 
Some older rigs have Day/Night shades. Same operation except you have a day part and a night part. They still operate the same way but you have to do it in 2 phases. First pull the bottom section down, then if you want it darker - pull the next section down. Putting them up is the reverse.
