1. Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your Anderic RR7096T Thermostatic Remote Control. This remote is designed as a direct replacement for original Hampton Bay and Harbor Breeze ceiling fan remotes, specifically those with FCC IDs such as CHQ7096T, UC7096T, CHQ8BF7096T, and CHQ8BT7096T.
The RR7096T offers control over fan speeds, light functions (including dimming), and thermostatic settings. It is important to note that this remote operates only the down-lights of a ceiling fan and does not include a 'Reverse' key for fan direction. For proper light dimming functionality, incandescent bulbs are required.
2. Safety Information
- Keep batteries out of reach of children.
- Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.
- Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
- Avoid exposing the remote control to extreme temperatures, moisture, or direct sunlight.
3. Package Contents
Verify that your package contains the following items:
- Anderic RR7096T Thermostatic Remote Control
- Wall mount bracket
- Two screws for wall mount installation
4. Setup
4.1. Battery Installation
- Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
- Insert four (4) AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Replace the battery compartment cover.
4.2. Dip-Switch Matching
The RR7096T remote control operates by matching its dip-switch settings to those of your ceiling fan's receiver. This is the primary method of pairing the remote with your fan.
- Locate the dip-switches inside the battery compartment of your new RR7096T remote.
- Identify the dip-switches on your existing ceiling fan receiver or original remote control. The receiver is typically located in the ceiling fan's canopy.
- Carefully match the position of the dip-switches (ON/OFF or UP/DOWN) on the new RR7096T remote to the exact pattern of your fan's receiver or original remote.
- Once the dip-switches are matched, the remote should operate your ceiling fan without further programming.

4.3. Wall Mount Installation
The included wall mount bracket allows for convenient storage of your remote control.
- Choose a suitable location on a wall, away from direct heat or moisture.
- Use the two provided screws to securely attach the wall mount bracket to the wall.
- Slide the remote control into the bracket for storage.
