Memory Function

The fan remembers your last light brightness and color temperature settings. To activate: Select your desired light settings, then turn off the light and wait for at least 10 seconds. When the light is turned on again, it will retain these settings. If the light is turned on within 10 seconds of being turned off, the color temperature may switch.

Image: A three-step visual guide explaining the light's memory function: 1) Select desired color and brightness, 2) Turn off and wait over 10 seconds, 3) Turn on, and settings are retained. A note clarifies behavior if turned on within 10 seconds.

Wall Switch Control

The remote control can be fixed to a wall and used as a wall switch. This fan is suitable for conventional on/off wall switches. NOTE: Do not connect to a dimmer switch or a fan's gear switch, as this can damage the fan.
