Safety Information
Always observe the following safety precautions during installation and operation:
- Electrical Safety: Disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installing, cleaning, or servicing the fan or remote control. Failure to do so can result in electric shock or serious injury.
- Qualified Electrician: If you are unsure about wiring or electrical connections, consult a qualified electrician.
- Battery Safety: Keep batteries out of reach of children. Do not ingest batteries. Dispose of used batteries properly according to local regulations.
- Compatibility: Ensure the receiver unit is compatible with your ceiling fan and that it fits securely within the fan's canopy.
- Voltage: This unit is designed for 120 Volt systems.
Setup
1. Receiver Installation
- Disconnect Power: Turn off power to the ceiling fan at the main electrical panel.
- Access Fan Canopy: Remove the canopy cover of your ceiling fan to expose the wiring.
- Wire Connections: Carefully follow the wiring diagram provided with your fan and the remote control kit. Connect the receiver unit's wires to the corresponding fan and household wires. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Position Receiver: Place the receiver unit inside the fan canopy. This space can be tight, so ensure it is positioned without pinching wires.
- Reattach Canopy: Securely reattach the fan canopy cover.
2. Battery Installation (Remote Control)
The remote control typically uses one CR2032 Lithium Ion battery. If not pre-installed, open the battery compartment on the back of the remote and insert the battery, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
3. Pairing the Remote Control (EZ Pair System)
The Hunter 99119 uses an EZ Pair system for synchronization. If you are pairing multiple remotes to the same fan, follow these steps for each remote:
- Restore Power: Turn on the power to the ceiling fan at the main electrical panel.
- Initiate Pairing: Within 30 seconds of restoring power, press and hold the 'FAN' button on the remote control for approximately 5 seconds. The fan light should blink or the fan should briefly turn on, indicating successful pairing.
- Test Functionality: Test all functions (fan speeds, light on/off/dimming) to confirm successful pairing.
- Multiple Remotes: If pairing a second remote, turn off the power, then restore it and repeat step 2 for the second remote. The system is designed to retain the pairing of the first remote.
4. Wall Switch Access Plate Installation
The included wall switch access plate and cradle allow you to mount the remote control on a wall for easy access. Secure the access plate to a standard wall switch box or directly to the wall using appropriate hardware. The remote control can then be placed into the cradle.
Operating Instructions
Once installed and paired, operate your ceiling fan and light using the handheld remote control.
- Fan Speed Control: Use the dedicated buttons for Low, Medium, and High fan speeds.
- Instant On/Off: A specific button allows for immediate fan power on or off.
- Light On/Off: Press the light button to turn the light on or off.
- Light Dimming: To dim the light, press and hold the light button. Release the button when the desired brightness level is reached.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the remote control and wall plate with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the CR2032 Lithium Ion battery in the remote control when its performance diminishes. The average battery life is approximately 200 hours.
