Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Hampton Bay UC7098T Replacement Ceiling Fan Remote Control. This remote is designed to replace existing UC7098T transmitters and is compatible with the UC7067FC receiver unit, operating on a 304MHz radio frequency. Please read these instructions carefully before use to ensure proper functionality and safety.
Setup and Installation
Proper setup is essential for the correct operation of your replacement remote control. Follow these steps carefully.
1. Battery Installation
The remote control requires one 9V battery (not included). To install the battery:
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
- Slide the cover off.
- Insert a new 9V battery, ensuring the polarity (+/-) matches the diagram inside the compartment.
- Replace the battery compartment cover.

2. Matching Dip Switch Codes
The remote control (transmitter) and your ceiling fan's receiver unit must have matching dip switch settings to communicate. This is a critical step for functionality.
- Access Receiver Dip Switches: Locate the receiver unit inside your ceiling fan's canopy. The dip switches are typically found on the side of the receiver. Note the current ON/OFF positions of these switches.
- Access Remote Dip Switches: Open the battery compartment of your new UC7098T remote control. The dip switches are located within this compartment.
- Match Settings: Adjust the dip switches on the new remote control to exactly match the ON/OFF positions of the dip switches on your ceiling fan's receiver unit. There are 16 possible frequency combinations.
- Important Note: Some older remotes may have "ON" labeled at the bottom or top. Ensure you match the physical position of the switches, not just the labels, if they differ. The default setting is typically "0000" (all switches OFF), which is not recommended for unique operation.

3. Testing Functionality
After installing the battery and matching the dip switch codes, test the remote control's functions to ensure proper communication with your ceiling fan.
Operating Instructions
The UC7098T remote control features an LCD display and three primary buttons for controlling your ceiling fan and light.

- LIGHT Button: Press this button to turn the ceiling fan light ON or OFF. The LCD display will show a light bulb icon when the light is active.
- FAN Button: Press this button repeatedly to cycle through fan speeds: Low, Medium, High, and OFF. The LCD display will indicate the current fan speed with a fan icon and corresponding bars (Low, Med, High).
- FOR/REV Button: This button controls the direction of the fan blades (forward or reverse). Press to change the fan's rotation direction. This function is typically used to optimize air circulation for different seasons (downward airflow for cooling in summer, upward airflow for heat distribution in winter).
The LCD screen provides visual feedback on the current light status and fan speed setting.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your remote control, follow these simple maintenance guidelines.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the 9V battery when the remote's range decreases or the LCD display becomes dim. Always use a fresh, high-quality 9V battery.
- Cleaning: Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or expose the remote to excessive moisture.
- Storage: If the remote will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage and potential damage.
