Disconnect Power: Turn off the power to the ceiling fan at the main circuit breaker. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
Access Wiring: Carefully remove the canopy of your ceiling fan to expose the wiring.
Disconnect Existing Wiring: Disconnect the existing wiring from the ceiling fan. Note the color coding of the wires.
Connect Receiver: Connect the receiver wires to the corresponding ceiling fan and household wires using the provided wire nuts. Refer to the wiring diagram below.
- AC 110-120V 60Hz (Household Power): Connect the white wire from the receiver to the white (neutral) household wire. Connect the red wire from the receiver to the black (hot) household wire.
- To Ceiling Fan: Connect the white wire from the receiver to the white (neutral) fan wire. Connect the blue wire from the receiver to the blue (light) fan wire. Connect the black wire from the receiver to the black (fan motor) fan wire.
Secure Receiver: Carefully tuck the receiver into the fan's canopy, ensuring no wires are pinched.
Reattach Canopy: Securely reattach the fan canopy.

5.2. Remote Pairing (If Needed)

The remote control and receiver are factory-paired by default. If re-pairing is necessary (e.g., after replacing components or if interference occurs), follow these steps:

Power Cycle: Turn off the wall control switch or the power from the electric box for 5 seconds.
Re-enable Power: Turn the power back on.
Press "LEARN" Button: Within 30 seconds of restoring power, press and hold the "LEARN" button located inside the receiver (often accessible through a small opening or by removing the battery cover on some remotes).
Confirmation: The pairing is complete when the fan light flashes twice.
