WARNING! SHUT POWER OFF AT FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER
NOTE: The RC223 Universal Hand Held Remote System is equipped with a learning
frequency function which has 256 code combinations to prevent potential interference from
other remote units. The frequency on your Receiver and Transmitter units have been preset
at the factory. We recommend changing the frequency while installing your ceiling fan
instead of using the initial frequency set by the factory. (Fig. 1) Please use a small size tool
to change the setting.

Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical Connections: Connect the WHITE wire from the fan to
the WHITE wire marked "TO MOTOR N" from the Receiver. Connect the BLACK wire from
the fan to the BLACK wire marked "TO MOTOR L" from the Receiver. Connect the BLUE
wire from the fan to the BLUE wire marked "For Light" from the Receiver. (Fig. 2)

"Stop" button.
Step: 2. Hold the "Stop" button for over 3 seconds, once the receiver has detected the
