one remote controlled fan in the same area and want to control them separately. You may
want to label your remotes to ensure you do not mix them up.
1. At the circuit breaker or fuse box, turn the power o for the fan you want to change. Do
not turn the power o at the circuit breaker for the previously installed fan, as you may
inadvertently change the dip switch code settings for it as well.
2. Slide the cover o the back of the remote and remove the battery. e battery must be
removed when changing dip switch settings. Refer to Step 8-1.
3. Change the dip switch settings, so that they are dierent from the previously installed fan.
4. Replace the battery and cover.
5. At the circuit breaker or fuse box, turn the power back on for the fan whose settings you
are changing.
6. Within 20 seconds of restoring power, push the 3 (high), 2 (medium), and 1 (low) buttons
(in that order) on the remote.

you desire: 3 for high, 2 for medium, 1 for low. To turn o the fan,
press the o button on the remote.
9-3. You can control the uplight and downlight using separate buttons
on the remote. To turn the light on or o independently from
the fan, press the appropriate light button once for gradual o or
twice for instant o.
With the Auto Resume feature, the light will come on at the level
you used last. You can also hold the light button down to use the
remote as a dimmer. (As you hold the button, the light level will
move throughout its entire range within 16 seconds.) Release the
button at the desired level.
9-4. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise
blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct
breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade
rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling
around the room without causing a draft.
In warm weather, use
downward air ow pattern
To Change Airflow Direction
Press the reversing switch on the remote
while the fan is running.

scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier
dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using
a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may use
an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents, as they will
damage the nish.
9-6. Clean wood nish blades with a furniture polishing cloth.
Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added
protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the
same manner as the fan nish.
In cold weather, use upward
