The MERCATOR FRM97 remote may not be shutting down on medium speed due to a possible issue with the receiver, interference with the RF signal, or a malfunction in the remote control itself. Ensure the receiver is correctly installed in the canopy of the ceiling fan, check the battery in the remote, and verify that no external sources are interfering with the RF frequency. If the issue persists, it may require troubleshooting by a licensed electrician, as installation must comply with safety regulations.
