After the fan is powered (DC motor), the receiver will start sourcing the frequency in the first 30 sec-
onds; during the time, any instruction from the transmitter (pressing any button) will be recognized and
memorized as the D frequency of the using transmitter; frequencies from the other transmitters won’t
be identified as the instruction to operate your fan. When the power is off and on again, if the receiver
does not receive the frequency from the transmitter in 30 seconds, receiver will automatically use last
frequency set before the power off.

1. f there is a power failure, and you have more than one fan inside the house, do not push the trans-
mitter within 60 seconds, otherwise the transmitter signal will be picked up by all fans and the fans can-
not be controlled separately.
2.The fan can remember the running setting before power failure or cut off.
3. f the new fan runs after connected to power, it may be due to the fan remembering the previous
running setting in the factory during the QC process, push “stop” key on transmitter twice to stop.

1. Once the power is off from last using and you want to restart your fan, in case there are two fans or
more in your house with the same transmitter and receiver set, REMEMBER to wait for 60 seconds
before using the transmitter, otherwise it will cause a transmitter to control both fans in the same time.
2. Receiver has the memory function, fan will automatically return to the previous setting before power
off.
3. f your fan is operated automatically after installation, it is because your fan still memorize the previ-
ous setting at factory, just simply press the “stop” button on the transmitter twice to stop your fan.

1.Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2.Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
3.Check learn function setting.

1.Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).
2.Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.
3.Check to make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each
other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.

5.Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear
after this period.
1.Make sure that the ridge of the canopy engages the notch in the downrod ball.
2.Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
3.Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
4.Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling junction box
and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
5.Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by
selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance from
blade tip to ceilng. Keeping measure within 1/8", rotate the fan until the next blade is posi-
tioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. f all blade levels are not equal, you can
adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert a washer
(not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw closest to the motor. To
adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the
two screws farthest from the motor. Reverse the position of the washer if blades mount from
top of blade.
6. f blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can
redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
1.Check wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house.
2.Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
3.Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
4.Check for faulty light bulbs.
5.Check learn function setting.
