2. Restore power to the ceiling fan.
3. Within 30-60 seconds of restoring power, press and hold the 'FAN AUTO' button (or a designated 'LEARN' button if present) on the remote control for approximately 5-10 seconds.
4. The fan light may blink or the fan may briefly turn on to indicate successful pairing.

If pairing is unsuccessful, repeat the steps. Ensure the remote is within range of the fan receiver during the pairing process.
