Note: Some fans may have considerable excess lead wire. For easier canopy installation, cut the excess wire,
leaving a minimum of 8” remaining. Re-strip the fan lead wires 1/2”. Place remaining excess wire into the ceiling
electrical box. The bracket and fan must remain properly grounded.
Turn the splices upward and push them carefully back through the hanger bracket into the outlet box.
Spread the wires apart, with the grounded wires on one side of the outlet box and the ungrounded
wires on the other side of the outlet box.
Note: If you are uncertain about wire colors or connections, please contact a qualied electrician.

Overview

This document describes the Hunter Ceiling Fan Remote Control, Model 99770, providing comprehensive instructions for its installation, operation, and troubleshooting. The remote control is designed to provide convenient wireless control over a ceiling fan, allowing users to adjust fan speed and light settings from a distance.

Function Description

The Hunter Ceiling Fan Remote Control, Model 99770, serves as a wireless interface for operating a compatible Hunter ceiling fan. It consists of a remote transmitter and a receiver unit. The receiver is installed within the fan's canopy, connecting to the fan's wiring and the household electrical supply. The remote transmitter, a handheld device, sends signals to the receiver to control various fan functions.

Key functions controlled by this device include:

  • Fan Speed Adjustment: Users can select different fan speeds (e.g., high, medium, low) to optimize airflow and comfort.
  • Light Control: The remote allows for turning the fan light on and off. Depending on the fan model, it may also support dimming functions for the light.
  • Wireless Operation: The primary advantage is the ability to control the fan without needing to physically interact with pull chains or wall switches, offering enhanced convenience.

The device operates on radio frequency (RF) signals, ensuring reliable communication between the transmitter and receiver. It complies with FCC Rules (Part 15) and Industry Canada RSS-210, indicating it is designed to operate without causing harmful interference and to accept any interference received.

Usage Features

The remote control is designed for ease of use and integrates seamlessly into a home environment.

  • Pre-paired for Convenience: The remote transmitter is typically pre-paired with the receiver at the factory, meaning it's ready to use immediately after installation of the receiver and battery. This eliminates the need for a complex pairing process for initial setup.
  • Pairing Functionality: In cases where re-pairing is necessary (e.g., after power cycling or replacing the remote), a simple pairing procedure is outlined. This involves cycling power to the fan and pressing a designated pair button on the remote within a specific timeframe. This feature is particularly useful when installing multiple remote-controlled fans to prevent interference.
  • Battery-Powered Transmitter: The handheld remote transmitter is powered by a CR2032 lithium button cell battery. This allows for portability and eliminates the need for external power sources for the remote itself.
  • Cradle Installation Options: The remote comes with a cradle that can be installed on a wall, providing a convenient storage location for the remote. Two installation methods are offered:
    • Screw Installation: For a secure and permanent mounting, the cradle can be screwed into drywall, with included drywall anchors for stability.
    • Adhesive Strip Installation: For a less invasive or temporary mounting, an adhesive strip can be used to attach the cradle to a wall surface.
  • Multiple Fan Management: The manual addresses scenarios where multiple remote-controlled fans are installed on the same circuit breaker. It provides guidance on how to prevent interference and ensure proper operation by suggesting a visit to the Hunter Fan Company's FAQ page for detailed instructions on installing multiple remote-controlled fans. This indicates a design consideration for multi-fan households.
  • Clear Wiring Instructions: The installation section provides detailed, step-by-step instructions with diagrams for wiring the receiver to the fan and the ceiling. It emphasizes connecting ground wires correctly and using appropriate wire connectors. The instructions are designed to be followed by individuals with basic electrical knowledge, though it recommends consulting a qualified electrician if uncertain.
  • Safety Warnings: Throughout the manual, prominent warnings are provided regarding electrical shock, battery handling (especially for lithium button cells due to chemical burn hazards), and proper wiring practices. These warnings highlight the manufacturer's commitment to user safety.

Maintenance Features

Maintenance for the Hunter Ceiling Fan Remote Control primarily revolves around battery replacement and ensuring proper electrical connections.

  • Battery Replacement: The remote transmitter requires a CR2032 lithium button cell battery. The manual provides clear instructions on how to access the battery compartment by removing a small Phillips head screw and replacing the battery, emphasizing correct polarity (positive side up). It also includes critical safety warnings regarding the handling and disposal of lithium button cells due to potential chemical burn hazards if swallowed.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: A basic troubleshooting section is included to address common issues such as erratic remote control operation. The primary recommendations are to ensure the battery is installed correctly and to replace it with a fresh one. This simple guide helps users resolve minor issues without needing professional assistance.
  • Secure Battery Compartment: The design emphasizes the importance of a securely closed battery compartment to prevent accidental ingestion of the battery, a critical safety feature for households with children.
  • Durable Design: While not explicitly stated as a maintenance feature, the expectation is that once properly installed, the receiver unit within the fan canopy requires minimal to no ongoing maintenance, as it is protected from environmental factors. The remote transmitter is designed for handheld use and is expected to withstand typical household handling.
  • Warranty Information: The product comes with a one-year limited warranty covering defects in material and workmanship. This provides assurance to the original purchaser and outlines the procedure for obtaining a replacement if the control malfunctions within the warranty period. The warranty details also clarify exclusions, such as damage due to mishandling, improper installation, or faulty batteries, encouraging proper care and installation.

In summary, the Hunter Ceiling Fan Remote Control, Model 99770, is a user-friendly device designed to enhance the convenience of operating ceiling fans. Its features prioritize ease of installation, reliable wireless control, and user safety, with clear instructions for both initial setup and ongoing maintenance.
