-
If the transmitter cannot control the fan, check to ensure all wiring connections are properly connected according to the instruction manual. Check to ensure the batteries are in the right position. Check whether there are any similar remote controls in use nearby. Check whether they work with the same frequency.
-
Low voltage of battery will affect the sensitivity of the transmitter.
The indicator light will flash when battery voltage is low. Replace the batteries for better performance. -
Take out the batteries from the transmitter when leaving unused for long periods of time.
REMOTE CONTROL
- LED indicated light
- ON/OFF the fan
- Speed of the fan (①low speed – ⑤high speed)
- Timing control of the fan
- Short press: ON/OFF the light
- Direction of the fan (reverse switch)

- Allow a 24 hour break in period to eliminate most noises.
Fan wobbles or shakes excessively
- Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade brackets.
- Check that blade brackets are secured firmly to motor.
- Check distance from tip of blades to ceiling.
