Remote Controller Operation

Remove the battery cover from the remote control transmitter and install batteries. Replace the cover. This remote uses 2 1.5V/AAA batteries.

Note : If not using for long periods of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage to remote controller, and store the remote controller away from excess heat or humidity. The batteries will weaken with age and should be replaced before they leak or corrode as

this will damage the controller. Dispose of the used batteries properly. Always keep batteries out of the reach of children.

Universal Mode and Learning Mode

Your remote controller has two options : “Universal Mode” (mark “0”) and “Learning Mode” (mark “1”).

If choosing “Universal Mode,” simply move the switch to the LOWER position (mark “0”). Your fan with the remote controller is ready to use.

Note : If using Universal Mode, your fan can be controlled with other remote controllers with the same setting. To control the fan with a specific remote controller, choose “Learning Mode” by moving the switch to the UPPER position (mark “1”) and then follow the Learn Mode steps below.

Learn Mode

• Important : Turn the power on for ONLY the specific fan you wish to pair with the remote controller. Make sure to turn the power off for all other fans with which you use the same remote controller.
  Restore power to your fan, press and hold the “SET” button to pair the transmitter and receiver. You must press the ‘SET” button within 60 seconds of restoring power to the fan.

• Note : Fan will at first operate at minimum speed and light will blink (if your fan has a light) after you’ve chosen Learn Mode.

• Note : If the power is already on, you must turn the power off and then back on for the remote control setting.

• Note : If you reset the controller to Universal Mode (mark “0”) and later want to pair the controller again to a specific fan, you have to repeat the Learn Mode steps.

The remote control buttons control the fan speed as follows

Fan speed

1. minimum speed
2. low speed
3. medium low speed
4. medium speed
5. medium high speed
6. high speed

• This button turns the fan off.

• Forward/Reverse button: This button is to control direction of fan rotation. Press once to change direction of the fan rotation. Fan must be running to reverse.

• Breeze : Press the Breeze button, fan will operate at high speed (6th) for 30 seconds, then automatically change to 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st at intervals of 30 seconds, and then change it from Low speed (1st) to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th repeat the cycle until the breeze mode is canceled. Breeze mode can be erased by pressing either the power or speed control buttons.

Note : This remote controller has auto resume function. The fan will maintain the last setting when turned back on, with the exception of Breeze mode

Useful tips :

• The remote transmitter can be removed by pressing it upward from the lower half.
• The remote transmitter can be held on magnetic metal materials by a magnet built in the transmitter.

The receiver provides the following protective functions: Lock protection: The DC motor has a build-in safety feature against blade obstruction during operation. If something obstructs the fan blades, the motor will stop operation after about 20 seconds of interruption. Please remove obstacles and reset it by turning the power off, and then turn power back on.

Over 40W protection: When the receiver detects motor power consumption which is greater than 40W, the fan RPM will automatically lower to prevent it from overloading

User Tips

1. If your fan is operating automatically after installation, it is still using the factory setting. Follow the settings for Learn Mode above to reset.
2. If the fan or light isn’t working, reset power (turn the power off then turn the power back on) and follow the Universal Mode or Learn Mode remote control settings.
3. If two or more fans in the same remote signal range are on the same power supply, they cannot be operated separately by remote control. Use a separate power supply for each fan, such as an individual wall switch, and restrict the power supply to only the fan which you are pairing with its transmitter in order to use the remote controller.
4. When the fan is turned on to oscillate in either forward or reverse direction, it may shudder briefly until fully engaged. This is a normal operation for this fan; the shuddering will quickly cease as movement is engaged.

Troubleshooting

If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation, or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check this Troubleshooting Chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, or you are experiencing difficulty in installation, please call our Customer Service Center at the number printed on your parts list insert sheet.

Warning : Before you begin installing, servicing or cleaning the fan unit, switch the power off at the service pant and lock the service panel to prevent the power from being switched back on accidentally. If the service pant cannot be locked to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally, securely fasten a warning sign to th service panel.

If fan does not start

1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.

2. Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
   CAUTION : Make sure main power is turned off.

3. If this fan uses manual forward/reverse switch, make sure the switch is pushed firmly either way. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.

4. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the correct setting and make sure the battery works.

If fan sounds noisy

1. Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).

2. Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.

3. Check to make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
   CAUTION : Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.

4. Check to be sure light bulb is tight in socket and not touching the glass shade.

5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.

6. Allow “break-in” period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period.

If fan wobbles:

1. If this is a downrod mount fan, make sure the ridge on mounting bracket engages the notch in the downrod ball.
2. Make sure that canopy, mounting bracket or mounting plate are tightened securely to ceiling junction box and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
3.  Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
4. Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
5. Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance from blade tip to ceiling. Keeping measure within 1/8″, rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal, you can adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert a washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw closest to the motor. To adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the two screws farthest from the motor. Reverse the position of the washer ifblades mount from top of blade.
6. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation. If the above steps do not eliminate the wobble problem, you will need to dynamically balance your fan with balancing kit provided.

If light does not work

1. Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house.
2. Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
3. Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
4. Check for faulty lightbulb and make sure bulb is tight in socket.
5. Remove light kit and check the plug connections if they are present.
6. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the correct setting and make sure the battery works

CAUTION : Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing and/or canopy.
