(PS: Learning mode is not accepted after turn “ON” the supply power for 10 seconds)
2. When the emitter cannot control the receiver, please check the battery switch touching normally or not, correct the positive and negative, full or empty of the power.
3. When the emitter cannot control the receiver, please check is there any existence of similar remote-controlled products nearby, then check whether they works, because remote-controlled product with the same frequency will disturb each other.
4. Low voltage of battery will affect the sensitivity of the emitter and the signal reception accordingly (the indicated light will flash out its warming when the battery get low voltage), must be replaced if the battery is getting low voltage.
5. Please take out the battery from the emitter when leaving unused for long time.
6. When installing the fan, the fan ceiling cover doesn’t press the antenna(or other wire),it is easy to break down the wire and is short-circuited.
