instructions carefully.
Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
!
1. Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the
accompanying assembly diagrams.
2. Before installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit
breakers.
3. Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, or
National Electrical Codes. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it -yourself
wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
4. Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any
obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 7 feet from the floor to the trailing edge of
the blades.
5. If you are mounting the fan on a ceiling outlet box, use a metal outlet box. Secure the
box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to
support the moving weight of the fan ( at least 50 lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box.
Attach the mounting bracket by using the hardware supplied with the ceiling outlet box.
6. If you are mounting the fan to a joist, make sure it is strong enough to support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs.)
7. After installing the fan, make sure all the connections are secured. This will prevent
the fan from falling.
8. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.
9. Turn the fan off and wait for it to stop before reversing fan direction.
10. To reduce risk of electrical shock and personal injury, do not install the fan on a sloped
ceiling.
11. To reduce the risk of electrical shock and personal injury, do not use this fan with any
solid-state.
12. To reduce risk of personal injury, use only the two steel screws and lock washers
provided with the fan for mounting the outlet box.

1. Restore electrical to the outlet box by turning the electricity on at the
main fuse box.
(Fig. 1)
2. Remove the battery cover from the remote control transmitter, install the
battery, and replace the cover.
Note:
1. Use 2 1.5V/AAA battery to replace battery. (Fig. 2)
2. If not using for long periods of time, remove the battery to prevent
damage to the remote transmitter, and store the remote transmitter
away from excess heat or humidity.
3.Universal Mode and Learning Mode:
Universal Mode: Set both DIP (code) switches to the UPPER position.
Your fan with the remote controller is ready to use. (Fig. 3)
Note: In universal mode, your fan can be controlled with other remote
transmitters with the same setting.
Learning mode: To control the fan with a specific remote transmitter, choose this
mode by setting the DIP (code) switch to LOWER position within
5 meters distance from the fan. Restore power to your fan.
Next, press and hold the “SET” bottom for about 4 seconds until
the buzzer inside of the receiver sounds. Your remote controller
is ready to operate the fan. You must press the “SET” button
within 1 minute of restoring power to the fan.(Fig. 3)
Note: If the power is on already, you must turn the power off for at least 5 seconds
before restoring power for remote control learn function setting. The buzzer
inside of the receiver will sound for about 4 seconds after turning the power
back on. This signals that it is ready for the learning function setting. If the
fan is running after turn on the power, wait for at least 5 seconds and then
press and hold the “SET” button for about 4 seconds until buzzer inside
receiver sounds. Your remote controller is ready to operate the fan.
4. The buttons on the remote control transmitter control the fan speed and light as
follows. (Fig. 4)
5. Install Transmitter wall mount cradle with 2 screws provided.
Move the trim plate out from wall mount cradle and install the wall mount
mount cradle with 2 screws provided. Replace the trim plate. (Fig. 5)

HOW TO SET UP LEARNING MODE IF MULTIPLE
FANS ARE INSTALLED IN THE SAME HOUSE
If the end user owns more than one ceiling fan in the same room/household,
read this instruction manual and follow the steps carefully to connect each fan with
its respective handheld remote controller.

Within 30 seconds after

receiver has detected
and learned the
frequency, the receiver
will beep again.
This means the
self-learning process is
complete and the fan
is ready to use.
5.Wait for at least 3 minutes after setting up the learning mode for the first fan.
The receiver will lock this code automatically within these 3 minutes.
6.Connect the power supply to the second fan and repeat steps 1-6 for the second
fan. While programming the second fan, keep the power supply on for the first fan.
7.Please follow the steps above to set up the learning mode for your other fans.
NOTE:
There are 67,000 different codes (combinations) of learning modes.
When you set up the learning mode for a fan, the receiver will randomly pick a code.
The possibility of choosing the same code is minimal.
Please note that if you have more than one fan in close proximity, different ceiling
fans can be controlled by one handhold remote controller using the universal mode.
IMPORTANT: Learning mode will not work for fans that are controlled
by the same wall switch.

MAINTENANCE
1. Periodic cleaning of your new ceiling fan is
the only maintenance that is needed.
2. When cleaning, use only a soft brush or lint
free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
3. Abrasive cleaning agents are not required
and should be avoided to prevent damage
to finish.
RECOMMENDED:
Periodically check that the blade sets to the fan motor setscrews are secure and tight.
Do not use solvents when cleaning your
ceiling fan. It could damage the motor
and create the possibility of electrical
shock.
WARNING
Lock protection- The DC motor has a built-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 and
then stop operation after about 30 seconds of interruption. Please remove .
obstacles and reset. To reset: Turn the fan off by remote transmitter and then turn the fan on.
Over load protection (current limit)- The device will limit the maximum current output from the
receiver/drive if the fan load has increased abnormally.
Tips
1. If your fan is operates automatically after installation and power on, it is because your fan has
memorized the previous factory setting. Use the Universal Mode or the learning function and your
fan will be ready for use.
2. If the fan or light isn’t working, reset power (turn the power off for at least 5 seconds and then turn the
power back on) and redo the learn function setting.
3.It is not possible to remotely operate more than one fan in the same room (in the area where the remote
signal can reach to) if they share the same power supply. Separate power supplies
(such as using individual wall switches for each fan) is required if you want to separately control more than
one fan in same room.
4. When the fan is turned on or operated using forward/reverse function, it shutters & goes back & forth
until it turns.
This is a normal and it will take a few seconds to run this operation.

PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS OF THE RECEIVER

BALANCING FAN / WOBBLING TROUBLE SHOOTING
Please note that all ceiling fans are not the same, even in the same model—some may move more or
less than others.
Movement of a couple of centimeters is quite acceptable and does not suggest the fan will fall down.
Even though all blades are weighted and grouped by weight, it is impossible to eliminate wobble
altogether. This should not be considered a fault. Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to
the fact that they are not generally rigidly mounted.
TRY THE FOLLOWING TO REDUCE A WOBBLING FAN;
1. Check that all of the blade mounting screws are tightened and secure.
2. Wobbling problems may result from inconsistent blade level. To check the blade level, measure the
distance from each blade tip to the ceiling. Note: If measurements are inconsistent:
- Be sure the blade mount screws are not too tight or too loose, which may cause wobbling due to an unlevel
blade tip
- An out of shape blade can cause wobbling. Check by removing the blade and placing on a flat surface.
3. Blade tracking may be checked simply by use of a household ruler. Place the ruler vertically against
the ceiling and even with the outside leading edge of a blade. Note the distance of the edge of a blade
compared to the others. Turn the blade slowly by hand to check the remaining blades.
If a blade is not in alignment, the blade is either out of shape, warped or the blade screws are not evenly
tighten or either loose.
BALANCING KIT
A Balancing Kit has been provided to assist with reducing a wobble. Please retain the kit as it may
become useful should the fan develop a wobble in the future. Instructions on how to use the Balancing
kit can be found within the Kit.
