seconds at least) and redo the learn function setting. You must press the “SET” button within 1 minute of restoring power to the
fan.
3. It is not available to separately operate the remote setting for more than one fan in the same room (in the area where remote
signal can reach to) if they share the same power supply. Separate power supplies (like as using individual wall switches for each
fan and turn power off for the fan while you are making learn function for other fan) is required if you want to separately control
more than one fan in same room.
4. You may erase the code setting of the transmitters by turning the power off for at least 5 seconds, then turn power back and
wait for at least 5 seconds then push and hold the “OFF” button of the transmitter which you are using for at least 10 seconds.
You must press the ‘OFF” button within 60 seconds of restoring power to the fan.

Lock protection- The DC motor has a build-in safety feature against
blade or motor obstruction during operation. If something obstructs
the fan blades or motor, the motor will keep trying to run for 3
times and then stop operation after about 30 seconds of
interruption. Please remove obstacles and reset. To reset it by turn
the fan off by remote transmitter and then turn the fan on.
Over load protection (current limit)- The device will limits the
maximum current output from the receiver/drive when the fan load
was increased abnormally.
