NOTE: The dip switch in the battery compartment has been set on “0” position for your convenience. If you want to re-pair the remote, please set the dip switch on “1” position.

Install one 23A/12V battery (included). To prevent damage to transmitter, remove the battery if not used for long periods of time.

1. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 button:
These six buttons are used to set the fan speed as follows:
1 = minimum speed
2 = low speed
3 = medium low speed
4 = medium speed
5 = medium high speed
6 = high speed

2. button:
This button turns the fan off.

3. Reverse button:
This button is to control fan direction.

4. Light Button:
This button is to control light “ON/OFF” and “Dimmable” condition.

5. SET code setting button:
Follow the below steps to set the remote control:
The auto learning function will only mandate within 60 seconds when turning the fan’s AC power ON.

a) Slide the dip switch in the battery compartment to the “1” position.

b) With the fan’s power off, restore power to the fan. From the back of the transmitter, Press and hold “SET” button for about 5 seconds and release. If the light kit is installed, the light kit will flash twice and the signal light on the remote control will come on when the button is pressed. The fan has completed the pairing process with the remote control and is ready for use.

NOTE: If the self calibration test failed, turn the AC power off; restore power and process the self calibration test again.

NOTE: During self calibration test, the remote is non-functional.

NOTE: The learning frequency function and self calibration test will continue to retain the last set frequency and calibration set even when the AC power is shut off. If the frequency is changed the self calibration test will occur again.

This receiver provides the following protective function:

1. Lock Rotor Position: The DC motor has a built-in safety against a stalled or locked rotor condition (stalled blade rotation). If there is an obstruction or fault with the motor, the current monitoring function will automatically turn power off to the motor after 30 seconds. Remove the obstruction and turn the AC power off. Restore power and re-start fan motor.

2. Over 80W protection: When the receiver detects motor power consumption which is greater than 80W, the receiver power will be stopped and operation will immediately discontinue. Wait for 5 seconds and then turn the receiver power back on.

Speed settings for warm or cold weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height and number of fans.

NOTE: To operate the reverse function on this fan, press the button while the fan is running.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade to blade arm screws or blade arm to motor screws to prevent clicking or humming sound during operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and humidity ranges. 
• When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending – no pressure should be applied to the blades. If you experience any flaws in the operation of your fan, please check the following points.

TROUBLESHOOTING

2. Check wall control LED indicator light. If LED is not illuminated when pushing a button, it is not transmitting a signal. Please check battery, power to wall control/ circuit breaker and all electrical connections.

3. Assure there are no more than 2 fans operating on a circuit through the wall control. Assure that there are no more than 12 fans operating on a circuit through an on/off wall switch or a breaker (not through a wall control).

4. Assure that the fan is within range of the wall control (30 ft.).

FAN SOUNDS NOISY| 1. Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noise associated with a new fan will disappear during this time.

2. Make sure all motor housing screws are securely fastened.

3. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade to the fan are tight.

4. Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket and outlet box.

FAN WOBBLES| 1. Check that all blade to motor and blade arm screws are secure.

2. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.

3. Make sure the mounting plate is securely fastened to the ceiling outlet box.

4. Make sure ceiling box is secure.
