CODESWITCH
1. CODESWITCH:Codesaresetby
pushing dip switches up or down.
Itisimperativethatthecodeused
for both transmitter and receiver
isexactlythesame;otherwise
remote controller will not work.
Please note the code switch will

For example, if you have two
ceiling fans with 2 remote control
units,set2differentcodesforeach
setoftransmitter/receivers.Thismeansyoucanoperateeachceilingfanindependently.
