Safety Information
- WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box or circuit breaker before wiring.
- Do not use with wall-mounted fans or exhaust-type fans.
- Ensure the receiver fits within your fan canopy before installation.
- Always follow local electrical codes and regulations. If you are unsure about wiring, consult a qualified electrician.
- The remote control requires a 9V battery, which is not included. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the battery.
Setup and Installation
1. DIP Code Pairing
Before installation, ensure the DIP switch settings on both the remote control and the receiver match. This prevents interference from other remote-controlled devices in your vicinity.
- Locate the DIP switches on the receiver. These are typically small red switches labeled 1-4.
- Open the battery compartment of the remote control. The DIP switches are located inside.
- Set the switches on both the receiver and the remote to the exact same ON/OFF positions. The default code is 0000 (all OFF), which is not recommended due to potential interference.
- If your fan turns on/off unexpectedly, change the DIP code to a different combination.
