My dad put up a ceiling fan in my living room last weekend. we ordered a remote control for it and it came in this week. so when i go to use it i have to find a frequency code on the fan. ive taken off the lightkit and i cant find anything that would tel me the frequency. and i took off the piece that attaches to the ceiling and i can find anything. does anyone know where i can find it?

the receipt says the fan is a 52" walnut belcaro fan

did you put a 9v battery in it sec 13 of the manual says to do so.

7. My remote control is not working correctly. What should I do?

* Please check the following possible reasons & solutions before you contact your local distributor:
o Check your batteries to see if it needs to be replaced.
o Check the dipswitches in both the remote and the receiver to make sure both are in the same position.
o If the switches are in the correct position and the remote is not functioning, the alternative cause could be the receiver in the fan.
o Check the wall switch by flipping it on and off, then retry.
o If all fails, please locate a dealership nearest you to replace the remote.

Good find Doobs, that's what I was looking for, failed. I'm usually a good Googler.

jayd265, the DIP switches as shown on pg. 7, fig. 11 must match your remote's switch settings.

where can i find the frequency on the fan itself? its around where the battery is on the remote but i cant find it on the fan

A remote control for a ceiling fan? Must be a high ceiling.

Judging by fig. 13 on pg. 8, the receiver is buried in the base. Too bad you didn't jot down the DIP switch settings before installing it. You'll have to take it back apart to find the settings on the receiver I think.

you just have to leave the light switch on all the time and turn the light on and off with the remote. I have two fans that are remote.
