3. Setup
3.1 Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
- Slide the battery cover open.
- Insert two (2) AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Replace the battery cover securely.
Note: Batteries are not included with this product.
3.2 Matching Dip Switches
For the remote control to communicate with your ceiling fan, the dip switches on the remote must match the dip switches on your fan's receiver unit. The receiver unit is typically located in the fan's canopy, above the motor housing.
- Turn off the power to your ceiling fan at the circuit breaker or wall switch.
- Access the receiver unit in your ceiling fan's canopy. This may require removing the fan's decorative cover.
- Identify the dip switches on the receiver unit. Note their ON/OFF (or UP/DOWN) positions.
- On your UC7216T remote control, open the battery cover to expose its dip switches.
- Carefully adjust the dip switches on the remote control to exactly match the pattern of the dip switches on your fan's receiver unit.
- Once matched, replace the battery cover on the remote and reassemble your fan's canopy cover.
- Restore power to your ceiling fan.
Important: Failure to match the dip switches correctly will prevent the remote from operating your fan.
4. Operating Instructions
Once the remote is set up and paired with your fan, you can use the buttons to control its functions:
- Fan Speed Control: Press the 'HI', 'MED', or 'LOW' buttons to select the desired fan speed. Press 'OFF' to turn the fan off.
- Light Control: Press the 'Light' button (with the light bulb icon) to turn the fan light on or off.
