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 interfer-
ence 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 communica-
tions. 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 o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-
ence 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 dierent from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
3. For use only with electrically reversible ceiling fans rated at 1.0 amp or
less, and fan incandescent light kits rated at 300 watts or less.
4. Not for use with shaded-pole motors. Not recommended for use with
the Hunter Original®. For Hunter Original® series fans, use Hunter control
model numbers 27187, 22691, or 27189.

switch is being used to control the xture, consult a qualied electrician
for assistance.
Any changes or modications to this equipment not expressly approved by
Hunter Fan Company will void the user’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.
Before Installing the Control:
1. Use the pull-chain switch on the fan to set the fan speed to the HIGH
position before installation.
2. Set the ceiling fan light kit to the ON position before installation. The
light setting should only be changed by the Hunter control.
Receiver Installation:
1. Disconnect power to the ceiling fan and light kit at the main electrical
panel. Remove fuse or move circuit breaker to the OFF position.
2. IMPORTANT! Before installing this control, check the factory default
jumper settings on the transmitter and the dip switches on the receiver.
Refer to Figure 1. Be sure the jumper positions of the transmitter and dip
switch positions on the receiver match, or the ceiling fan will not function.
Select dierent combinations of dip switches and jumpers to prevent mis-
operation due to other remote control fans.
3. Determine your ceiling fan mounting type (Figure 2). Most installa-
tions will be one of these four types: Canopy Hanger, Hunter Hands-Free
TM
Canopy, Low Prole Styles I and II, or Bracket Hanger.
4. Install the ceiling fan according to its instructions, up to the point of
making the electrical connections. Connect receiver to ceiling fan accord-
ing to the mounting type as instructed in Figure 2.
5. 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 instructed in Figure 2.
6. Use the 2 large wire nuts supplied to connect the receiver and house
wiring, then use the 3 small wire nuts supplied to connect the receiver and
ceiling fan wiring. Refer to the Wiring Diagram in Figure 3.
7. Be sure the antenna is positioned securely, so it can not interfere with
the ceiling fan motor. Refer to Figure 2. 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.
Fan Installation Types:
NOTE: Some fans may have considerable excess lead wire. For easier
canopy installation, cut the excess wire leaving a minimum of 6 inches
remaining. Restrip the fan lead wires 1/2 inch. Place remaining excess wire
into the ceiling electrical box as needed.
Canopy Hanger (Fig. 2-A): Place receiver in canopy. Connect wiring as
shown in Figure 3. Extend antenna through one of the ceiling plate open-
ings (approximately 3–6˝).
Hunter Hands-Free™ Canopy (Fig. 2-B): Connect wiring as shown in
Figure 3. Place receiver inside mounting bracket. Extend antenna above
the ceiling mounting bracket (approximately 3–6˝).
Low Prole Style I (Fig. 2-C): Secure receiver to the fan plate above the
motor with UL listed cable ties (not included). Connect wiring as shown
in Figure 3. Extend antenna through one of the ceiling plate openings
(approximately 3–6˝).
Low Prole Style II (Fig. 2-D): Secure receiver to the ceiling mounting
bracket with UL listed cable ties (not included). Connect wiring as shown
in Figure 3. Extend antenna above the ceiling mounting bracket (approxi-
mately 3–6˝).
Bracket Hanger (Fig. 2-E): Starting with the antenna wire, slide receiver
inside mounting bracket. If a ground wire mounting screw prevents the
receiver from sliding into the bracket, move ground wire and screw to an
unused hole at the top of the bracket or secure with a canopy mount-
ing screw. The bracket must remain properly grounded. Connect wiring
as shown in Figure 3. Extend antenna above the receiver (approximately
5–8˝).
Cable Tie Routing for Low Prole Fans (Figs. 2-C, 2-D): 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.
