Maintenance
Battery Replacement

- Remove Faceplate: Carefully remove the faceplate of the wall control.
- Access Batteries: Unscrew the mounting screws and gently pull the wall control away from the wall box to access the battery compartment.
- Replace Batteries: Replace the old AAA batteries with new ones, ensuring correct polarity.
- Reassemble: Carefully push the wall control back into the wall box, secure it with screws, and reattach the faceplate.

Regular cleaning with a soft, dry cloth is recommended to maintain the appearance of the wall control.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Hunter Universal Fan-Light Wall Control, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Response from Fan/Light:
- Check if the main power to the fan is on at the circuit breaker.
- Verify that the batteries in the wall control are fresh and correctly installed.
- Ensure the wall control is properly paired with the fan's receiver. Refer to the pairing instructions in your fan's manual or the Hunter Universal Receiver manual.
- Light Not Dimming:
- Confirm that the light bulbs installed in your fan are dimmable. Non-dimmable bulbs will not respond to dimming commands.
- Limited Range or Intermittent Operation:
- Ensure there are no significant obstructions between the wall control and the fan's receiver.
- Replace the batteries in the wall control.
- Compatibility Issues with Older Fans:
- This wall control may not be compatible with all older Hunter fan receivers, especially those using DIP switches in the remote and receiver. If you have an older model, verify compatibility with Hunter support or the product documentation for your specific fan model.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact Hunter customer support for further assistance.
