1. Select desired frequency from the back of transmitter.
2. Press the transmitter’s “SET” button, and hold the “SET” button for over 5 seconds. Once the receiver has detected
the frequency, the fan will automatically begin to operate and start to rotate in the counter-clockwise direction and on
the highest RPM for 3 minutes. When counter-clockwise rotation has finished, the fan will automatically reverse to
clockwise direction again to the highest RPM for 3 minutes. Fan will shut off when the self calibration test has finished.
The total self calibration test will last about 6 minutes.
Note: During self calibration test, the remote will be non-function.
Note: The learning frequency function and self calibration test will continue to retain the last set frequency and
calibration set even when the AC power is shut off. If the frequency is changed the self calibration test will occur again.
1. Lock position: The DC motor has a built-in safety against obstruction during operation. The motor will get locked
operation and disconnect power after 30 seconds if interruption occurs. Please remove obstacles before re-set.
2. Over 80W protection: When the receiver detects motor power consumption which is greater than 80W, the receiver’s
power will stop and operation will be immediately discontinued. Turn the receiver power on after 5 seconds.
3. “D” and “ON” dip switch:
The “D” selection is the light dimmable selection and is to be used with all bulbs except for CFL bulbs. The “ON” selection
is For CFL bulbs.

CARE OF YOUR FAN
Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan.
1. Because of the fan's natural movement some connections may become loose. Check the support connections,
brackets and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan from the
ceiling).
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the year. CAUTION: many common household
cleaning products contain chemicals that could damage the finish of your fan. Use only a soft lint free cloth and soapy
water.
3. If your fan is provided with wood veneer blades; you can apply a light coat of furniture polish for additional protection
and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from the blades.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
6. If your fan is provided with glass shades, clean with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT
IMMERSE GLASS SHADES IN HOT WATER. DO NOT PUT GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
WARNING!
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO
THE SECTION, "ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS".

TROUBLESHOOTING
Check to make sure the wall switch is turned on.
Check circuit fuses or breakers.
Caution! Make sure the power is turned off before performing the following steps.
Remove canopy and check wire connections.
Check wall control transmitter connections (if applicable).
Note: Fan must be installed at a maximum distance of 40 feet from the transmitting unit
for proper signal transmission between the transmitting unit and the fan's receiving unit.
Allow a 24-hour "break in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan will go away
during this time.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade holder to the motor hub is tight.
Make sure outlet box is secured to building structure, if necessary use the wood screws
provided to further secure outlet box to joist.
Make sure hanger bracket is secure to the outlet box, screws are tight.
NOTE: All blade sets are grouped by weight. Because wood and plastic blades vary in
density, the fan may wobble even though blades are matched.
Make sure outlet box is secured to building structure, if necessary use the wood screws
provided to further secure outlet box to joist.
Make sure hanger bracket is secure to the outlet box, screws are tight.
If a Balancing kit is provided follow the instructions included with the balancing kit to
help correct any excessive wobble.
