When Silhouette shadings are ordered with PowerRise as an outside mount, the Satellite Battery Pack MUST be used.  There is a little used option for attaching Satellite Battery Packs to the headrail of the shading, though, that almost completely hides the battery pack but keeps it in a good place for changing batteries and eliminates the need to hide a wire.  This technique should be used when the windows are reasonably close to the ground so that there is good access to the batteries.  A simple top-treatment will take it completely out of sight.  For extremely high and and out of reach windows that can't be accessed with a step ladder, it would be better to use a Satellite Battery Pack with a longer wire set, the AC power supply option or the hardwired motorized Silhouette system.

Attach The Battery Pack To The Battery Pack Mounting Brackets

When the order is placed, ask for two Battery Pack Mounting Brackets for each outside mount Silhouette shading you will be attaching this way.  There is no additional charge for Top Mount Brackets, but they must be specified.   Before you attach the base of the Satellite Battery Pack, make sure the wires are oriented toward the motor housing. The Satellite Battery Pack is attached directly to the Top-Mount Bracket with the screws provided.  

Attach The Assembly To The Headrail

Use the wires from the Satellite Battery Pack to place the unit in position on the headrail so that you will be able to have enough slack on the wire to attach it to the motor assembly.  The entire assembly will now slide on to the headrail and be permanently and securely pressed into place.

Connect To The Motor, Then Put The Batteries In

The Satellite Battery Pack is then plugged into the motor assembly.  Attach batteries after this connection is secure.

When it is all together you can see that it is held to the back of the shading and will not interfere with the installation in any way.  When placed over a window, as you can see below, the Satellite Battery Pack attached this way is slightly visible, depending on your point of view of the window.  To lessen the visibility, Satellite battery packs can be painted or covered with wallpaper.  Soft top treatments can also take it out of view and still keep it just as accessible.
