Setup and Installation
1. Receiver Installation
Before beginning, ensure the power to the ceiling fan is turned off at the circuit breaker. The DC8-96SG8 receiver is typically installed within the fan's canopy. Follow the wiring diagram provided with your fan or consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about the wiring process. Connect the receiver's wires to the corresponding fan and household wires (e.g., Live, Neutral, Fan, Light).
2. Remote Control Battery Installation
The DC1 remote control requires two AAA batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote and insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).

3. Pairing the Remote and Receiver
After installing the receiver and batteries, locate the small switch inside the remote's battery compartment. Set this switch to the 'common code' position. Restore power to the ceiling fan. Within 30 seconds of restoring power, press and hold the 'Light' button on the remote control for approximately 5 seconds until the fan light blinks or the fan briefly turns on, indicating successful pairing.
4. Wall Mount Installation
The included wall mount bracket allows for convenient storage of your remote. Choose a suitable location, secure the bracket to the wall using the provided screws, and slide the remote into the bracket.

Maintenance
Battery Replacement
When the remote control's range decreases or buttons become unresponsive, it's time to replace the batteries. Use two fresh AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Dispose of old batteries responsibly.
Cleaning
Wipe the remote control and receiver with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or allow moisture to enter the units.
Troubleshooting
- Fan or Light Not Responding:
- Check if the circuit breaker for the fan is on.
- Ensure batteries in the remote are fresh and correctly inserted.
- Re-attempt the pairing process (see Setup section).
- Verify all wiring connections to the receiver are secure.
- Fan Turns On Randomly:
- This can sometimes occur due to interference. Ensure the remote is not near other devices that might cause signal interference.
- Re-pairing the remote and receiver might resolve this issue.
- Fan Not Reaching High Speed:
- Ensure the fan is a 6-speed DC fan compatible with this receiver.
- Verify the fan motor is functioning correctly independently of the receiver.
