- Unplug the wire harness and remove the old receiver.
- Replace the receiver with the new unit and reassemble the fan.
Figure 1: TX025 Remote Control and DC Motor Control Receiver Diagram
5.2 Setting Up the Remote Control
The receiver should already be installed from the factory. Receiver assembly is not needed for initial setup.
- Installing the Battery:
Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote. Insert one 23A 12V battery (not included), ensuring the polarity matches the diagram indicated in the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover. - Learning/Pairing the Remote:
The dip switch in the remote control has been factory-set to "0" to match the receiver in the fan. If there is more than one fan that uses this same remote in close proximity, changing the dip switch setting may be needed to avoid interference.
To change the dip switch setting: Slide the switch inside the battery compartment to "1". Turn off the power to the fan at the circuit breaker, then turn the power back on. Within 30 seconds of restoring power, tap the "learn" key located inside the battery compartment. If learning is successful, the fan light will blink three times and turn on.

The season slide switch is located at the bottom of the remote control.
- Slide the switch depending on the direction you wish the air to flow.
- Note: Wait for the fan to stop before reversing switch direction.
- In warmer weather, a counter-clockwise rotation creates a downward air flow, which cools the air. Slide the switch to the left, indicated by the sun icon.
- In cooler weather, a clockwise rotation creates an upward air flow, which moves hot air from the ceiling into the room. Slide the switch to the right, indicated by the snowflake icon.
