ASSEMBLY OF HANDHELD REMOTE CONTROL

• To use wall control as a handheld remote control, cut each wire on wall control. Use wire cutters to cut off each wire as close to the wall control as possible.
• Place wall control into BOTTOM part of remote control cover, aligning posts in top of remote control cover with post holes in the bottom. Squeeze top and bottom of remote control cover until you hear a click at each end, indicating the remote control cover has closed completely.
• Install 12-volt battery (included). (Figure 4) NOTE: Battery is NOT rechargeable. Remove battery with low or no charge and dispose of properly.
  WARNING: Battery is to be inserted with the correct polarity.
  CAUTION: Store the handheld remote control away from excess heat or humidity. To prevent damage to handheld remote control, remove the battery if handheld remote control will not be used for long periods.
  

AUTOMATED LEARNING PROCESS

CAUTION: The transmitter can be programmed to multiple receivers or fans. If this is not desired, turn wall switch off to any other programmable receiver or fan.

• Remove faceplate from transmitter to reveal battery compartment and dimmer switch.

• Setting the dimmer switch:
  Locate the dimmer switch above the battery compartment labeled “DIM” and “ON”. Set dimmer switch to ON (DIM) position only if using incandescent bulbs. Set dimmer switch to OFF (ON) position if using LED or compact fluorescent bulbs. NOTE: Most LED or compact fluorescent bulbs are not compatible for use with dimmer controls.

• Restore electrical power. Within 30 seconds of restoring electrical power, press the “OFF” button, located on the front of the remote control transmitter, for 5 seconds or until light on fan blinks twice. Test the light and fan functions to confirm the programming (learning process) is complete. (Figure 4)

• Replace faceplate on transmitter. (Figure 4)

TRANSMITTER–CARE AND OPERATION

• If you find that your fan and light kit go on and off without using your remote control, turn power off
  and repeat Step D in Section III (Automated Learning Process).

• Store the transmitter away from excess heat or humidity.

• To prevent damage to transmitter, remove the battery if not used for long periods.

• Operation buttons on the front panel of the transmitter:
  HIGH button for fan HIGH speed / MED button for fan MEDIUM speed / LOW button for fan LOW speed OFF button for fan OFF / L button for light BRIGHTNESS and OFF
  The light function is controlled by pressing the L button. Hold button down to increase or decrease light. Tap button quickly to turn light off or on. If you press the button in excess of 0.7 seconds it becomes a dimmer. The light varies cyclically in 0.8 seconds. The light button has auto resume so the light will stay at the same brightness as the last time it was turned off.
