2.2. Fan Pairing Process

After logging into the Modern Forms app, the pairing process will initiate. Follow the on-screen instructions within the app. This typically involves connecting your mobile device to the fan's temporary Wi-Fi network (named 'ModernFormsFan_XXXXXX') using the password 'intelligence' (all lowercase). After connecting to the fan's network, return to the Modern Forms app to select your home Wi-Fi network (2.4 GHz only) and enter its password. The app will then complete a three-step verification process to provision the fan to your network.

2.3. Ceiling Height and Downrod Selection

The fan is designed for flush mounting, ideal for ceiling heights between 7-10 feet. If your ceiling is higher, optional downrods are available to achieve optimal air circulation. A 6-inch downrod is included with the fan.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Modern Forms Aviator fan, refer to the following common solutions or consult the comprehensive troubleshooting guide.

• Fan Not Responding to Remote/App:

  2. Check the batteries in the remote control.
  3. Verify your mobile device is connected to the correct 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
  4. Attempt to re-pair the fan with the app by following the setup instructions.
