5. Setup and Programming
Follow these steps to pair your remote control with your Pawtucket ceiling fan:

8. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your remote control, try the following:
- Remote Not Responding: Check the battery. Ensure it is a fresh 12V A23 battery and inserted with correct polarity.
- Fan Not Responding: Ensure the fan's power is on at the wall switch. Re-attempt the programming steps (Section 5).
- Light Not Dimming: Verify the slide switch inside the battery compartment is set to 'Incandescent (DIM)' mode for dimmable bulbs. If using CFL/LED bulbs, ensure they are dimmable and the switch is set correctly.
- Interference: Radio frequency interference can sometimes affect remote operation. Try moving closer to the fan or checking for other RF devices nearby.
