2. Orient Receiver: Orient the receiver with the flat side facing up.
3. Insert Receiver: Carefully insert the receiver into the bracket cavity of the ceiling fan.
4. Match Black, Blue & White Wires: Connect the black, blue, and white wires from the fan to the corresponding wires on the receiver. Use wire caps to secure connections.
5. Combine Wires: Use wire caps to combine all necessary wires as per the wiring diagram.
6. Match Wire Colors from Ceiling: Connect the wires from the ceiling to the receiver, matching colors (e.g., black to black, white to white).
7. Use Wire Caps: Secure all wire connections with wire caps.

5.3. Remote Control Setting (DIP Switches)

The remote control and receiver communicate via DIP switches. Both the remote (transmitter) and receiver must have their DIP switches set to the same position for proper function.

• Locate the DIP switches on both the remote control and the receiver.
• Set the switches (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4) on both devices to an identical pattern (e.g., all ON, or a specific combination of ON/OFF).
• For dimmable bulbs, set the separate 'D/0' switch on the remote to 'D'. If using non-dimmable bulbs, set it to '0' to prevent flickering. The default setting for switches 1-4 is 0000, but it is not recommended.
