Notes:
1. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
2. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from the one the
receiver is connected to.

Installation Instructions:
1. Install the ceiling fan according to its instructions, up to the point of making the electrical connections. Connect receiver to
ceiling fan according to the mounting types shown on the next page. Determine your ceiling fan mounting type from the
images on Pages 5-6. Most installations will be one of these ve types.
2. If the fan is already installed, turn the power OFF at the main electrical panel. Reverse the installation procedure according
to the fan instructions, to the point of disconnecting the fan wiring. Connect the receiver to the ceiling fan according to the
mounting type as shown on Pages 5-6.
Low Prole Style I (Figure 1): Secure receiver to the fan plate above the motor with UL-listed cable ties (not included).
Connect wiring as shown in Figure 6. Extend antenna through one of the ceiling plate openings (approximately 3–6˝).
Low Prole Style II (Figure 2): Secure receiver to the ceiling mounting bracket with UL-listed cable ties (not included).
Connect wiring as shown in Figure 6. Extend antenna above the ceiling mounting bracket (approximately 3–6˝).
Cable Tie Routing for Low Prole
Fans (Figs.5-6): Insert cable tie through
openings as shown. DO NOT insert the cable
tie through the inside of the receiver. The
cable tie can be placed across the length or
width of the receiver to best match your fan
installation type.

4 • Receiver Installation
1. Use the 2 large (orange) wire connectors supplied to connect the receiver and
house wiring, then use the 3 small (blue) wire connectors supplied to connect
the receiver and ceiling fan wiring. Refer to the Wiring Diagram in Figure 6.
If you are installing the remote with a Hunter Fan, the wire colors in the fan
will be as follows:
Light Power = Black with a White Stripe
Fan Power = Black
Common = White
*These are only the Hunter fan wire colors. Other
brands may use different colors.
2. Be sure the antenna is positioned securely, so it does not interfere with the
ceiling fan motor. Do not modify or damage the antenna wire, as control
performance may be reduced. After securing the receiver, antenna, and
wiring, nish hanging the ceiling fan according to its instructions.
3. Restore power at main electrical panel.
