Note: If the power is on already, you must turn the power off for 10 seconds at least, and then turn the power back for remote control learn function setting.
Note: If the fan is installed with light, the light will twinkle 2 times. The remote control setting process is complete and your fan is ready for use. For fans without light, check operation using a remote transmitter.
Note: If you want to control the fan with another transmitter, make the same setting. A fan can be controlled by 2 transmitters maximum.
The receiver provides the following protective functions
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 for 5 times and then stop operation after about 60 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, Or you may turn the power off for 15 seconds then turn the power back, and then turn the fan on,
Overload protection (current limit)- The device will limit the maximum current output from the receiver/drive when the fan or light load was increased abnormally.
The buttons on the remote control transmitter control the fan speed and light as follows.
Fan speed
1 = minimum speed 2 = low speed
3 = medium-low speed 4 = medium speed
5 = medium high speed 6 = high speed
Forward/Reverse button- This button is to control the direction of fan rotation. Press once to change the direction of the fan rotation. The fan must be running to reverse.
Light button (It is for fan with light)- Press this button to turn the light on or off. To dim light (Setting at “DIM” position), hold down the button, the light will cycle from bright to dim to bright until the button is released.

Tips for end-users
- If your fan is operated automatically after installation and power on, it is because your fan is still memorized the previous setting at the factory.
- If the fan or light isn’t working, reset power (turn the power off for at least 10 seconds and then turn the power back) and redo the learn function setting.
- It is not available to separately operate the learn setting for more than one fan in the same room (in the area where the remote signal can reach) if they share the same power supply. Separate power supplies (like using individual wall switches for each fan and turning the power off for the fan while you are making learn function for another fan) are required if you want to separately control more than one fan in the same room.
- When the fan is turned on or operated forward/reverse function, it shutters & goes back & forth until it turns. It is a normal performance of this fan and it will take for few seconds to run this operation.
Trouble Shooting
If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation, or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check this Trouble Shooting Chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, or you are experiencing difficulty in installation, please call our Customer Service Center at the number printed on your parts list insert sheet.
Warning: Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at the Service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
| Trouble | Suggested Remedy |
| 1. If the fan does not start: | 1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers. 2. Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure the main power is turned off. 3. If this fan uses a manual forward/reverse switch, make sure the switch is pushed firmly either way. The fan will not operate when the switch is in the middle. 4. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are set properly and make sure the battery is effective. |
| 2. If the fan sounds noisy: | 1. Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not overtightened). 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. CAUTION: Make sure the main power is turned off before entering switch housing. 4. Check to be sure the light bulb is tight in the socket and not touching the glass shade. 5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. 6. Allow a “break-in” period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period. |
| 3.If the fan wobbles: | 1. If this is a downrod mount fan, make sure the ridge on the mounting bracket engages the notch in the downrod ball. 2. Make sure that canopy, mounting bracket, or mounting plate are tightened securely to the ceiling junction box and junction box is mounted firmly to a ceiling joist. 3. Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders. 4. Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to the motor. 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 ceiling. Keeping measure within 1/8″, rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. If 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 a 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 the top of the blade. 6. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in a smoother operation. If the above steps do not eliminate the wobble problem, you will need to dynamic balance your fan with the balancing kit provided. |
| 4. If the light does not work: | 1. Check blue wire from the fan to make sure it is connected to hotwire from the house. 2. Check for loose or disconnected wires in the fan switch housing. 3. Check for loose or disconnected wires in the light kit. 4. Check for the faulty light bulbs and make sure the bulb is tight in the socket. 5. Remove light kit and check the plug connections if they are present. 6. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are set properly and make sure the battery is effective. CAUTION: Make sure the main power is turned off before entering switch housing and/or canopy. |
