Setup and Pairing
The Anderic RR7096TR remote control requires aligning dip switches to match your ceiling fan receiver for proper operation. This unit has 16 different code combinations.
1. Battery Installation
- Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote control.
- Insert 4 AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Replace the battery cover.
2. Setting the Dip Switches (Code Matching)
To ensure the remote communicates with your ceiling fan, the dip switches inside the remote must match the dip switches on your fan's receiver unit.
Image: A visual guide illustrating the two-step pairing process. Step 1 shows removing the battery cover and setting dip switches on the remote. Step 2 shows setting the dip switches on the fan receiver to match the remote's pattern. A diagram of the remote's battery compartment and a separate diagram of the receiver's wiring and dip switches are included.
- On the Remote:
- Remove the battery cover.
- Locate the dip switches inside the battery compartment.
- Using a small screwdriver or ballpoint pen, slide the switches to your desired "up" or "down" position. Note: The factory setting is typically all "up". Avoid using this position if possible to prevent interference.
- Replace the battery cover.
- On the Receiver:
- Ensure power to the ceiling fan is OFF at the circuit breaker.
- Access the receiver unit, typically located in the fan's canopy.
- Locate the dip switches on the receiver.
- Slide these switches to the exact same positions (up or down) as you set them on your remote control.
- Reassemble the fan canopy and restore power at the circuit breaker.

Important: When installing the remote control, ensure your fan is operated in "HIGH SPEED" and the light is in the "ON" condition at the switch knob (if applicable) before setting the dip switches on the receiver.
Operating Instructions
The Anderic RR7096TR remote provides comprehensive control over your ceiling fan and light functions.

The remote's display shows temperature and light percentage, and a list of features like 3 fan speeds, fan reverse mode, fan auto mode, light controls, light timer, light dimming, and light delay are highlighted.
Fan Control
- Fan Speed Buttons: Typically labeled Low, Medium, High, or represented by fan blade icons, these buttons adjust the fan's rotation speed.
- Fan Off Button: Turns the fan off.
- FOR/REV (Forward/Reverse) Button: Changes the direction of the fan blades. This is useful for seasonal comfort (downward airflow for cooling in summer, upward airflow for circulating warm air in winter).
- FAN AUTO Button: Activates the automatic fan mode, which adjusts fan speed based on the room temperature detected by the remote's thermostatic sensor.
Light Control
- Light Button: Turns the fan light on or off.
- Dimming: Press and hold the light button to dim or brighten the light. Release when the desired brightness is reached. Note: Dimming functionality requires incandescent bulbs. LED or CFL bulbs may not dim properly.
- LIGHT DELAY Button: Activates a delay feature for the light to turn off after a set period.
- LIGHT TIMER Button: Sets a timer for the light to remain on for a specific duration.
Thermostatic Features
- The remote displays both the SET TEMP (desired temperature) and ROOM TEMP (current room temperature).
- Use the TEMP/SET HOUR up/down arrow buttons to adjust the desired set temperature.
- In FAN AUTO mode, the fan will adjust its speed to help maintain the set temperature.
