Common Questions
28 totalWhat type of battery does the 85095 transmitter require?
The transmitter requires a 12-volt battery, type 23A, MN-21 or equivalent. This battery is included with the fan. Always replace with the same type to ensure proper operation. (Page 1)
What is the operating range of the 85095 remote control?
The operating range of the remote control is 15 to 30 feet. If the remote is only working at close range, the battery may be too weak and should be replaced with a new alkaline battery. (Page 1)
How do I set the code so my remote only controls one fan and not a nearby fan?
Change the position of one or more of the 3 jumpers in the transmitter, then set the jumpers in the receiver to match the same positions. The jumpers in the transmitter are accessible from the battery compartment, while the receiver jumpers are located at the bottom of the receiver device in the switch housing. It is best to use a small pair of pliers or tweezers to operate these small jumpers. (Page 1)
None of my remote functions are working — what should I check first?
First, verify that main power has been restored by checking the fuse, circuit breaker, and wall switch to make sure they are all on. If power is confirmed, check that the transmitter and receiver jumper switches are set to the same code. A weak battery could also cause this issue and should be replaced with a new alkaline battery. (Page 2)
How do I control the light using the remote?
Pressing the LIGHT button will turn the light on to full brightness. Holding the button will cause the light to dim slowly — release the button at the desired brightness level to hold it. Pressing the button again will turn the light off. (Page 2)
Why won't my fan reverse direction when I press the REVERSE button?
The fan must be running before the reverse function will work. Press a fan speed button (HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW) to start the fan first, then press the REVERSE button to change direction. (Page 2)

Caution: Risk of Electrical Shock!
All wiring must be performed in accordance with national and local electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with the wiring codes, you should use a qualified electrician.
To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, fluorescent light fixture, motor operated appliance, or transformer-supplied appliance. Use only to control one paddleblade ceiling fan and incandescent light fixture.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Hunter Fan Company could void your authority to operate this equipment!
Operation Is Subject To The Following Two Conditions:
Note: Any changes or modifications to the transmitter or receiver not expressly approved by Hunter Fan Company may void one’s authority to operate this remote control.
Your fan is equipped to be operated by remote control. A receiver device is mounted inside the fan switch housing. A hand-held transmitter is packed in the fan box. The transmitter requires a 12-volt battery (included). The operating range is 15-30 feet.
Setting The Code
When two or more fans are located near each other, you may desire to have each of them set to a different code, so that the operation of one fan will not affect another. This is accomplished by changing the position of any one or more of a group of 3 jumpers grouped together in the transmitter. The receiver located in the switch housing has the same set of 3 jumpers which must also be changed to match the transmitter settings.
These jumpers are very small and can best be operated by using a small pair of pliers or tweezers.
In the transmitter, the jumpers are readily accessible from the battery compartment. The switches in the receiver are located at the bottom of the receiver device in the switch housing. See Figures 1 and 2.
To set the jumpers in the receiver, remove the receiver from the switch housing and set the jumpers in the same positions as the jumpers in the transmitter. See Figure 2.
Replace the receiver, making sure the mounting holes at the top of the switch housing line up with the matching slots in the top of the receiver.

Assembling The Switch Housing Assemble the lower switch housing to the upper housing. See Figure 3. First insert the plug from the upper housing into the plug receptacle in the receiver module. NOTE: The plug is polarized and will only go together one way. Make sure you have correctly aligned plug and receptacle.
Next, line up the lower switch housing with the upper housing and assemble together with the (3) screws and lockwashers provided. See Figure 3.

If the two pieces are difficult to assemble, check the alignment of the (3) slots in the top of the receiver module and the mounting holes in the lower switch housing. They should align together.
Tighten the (3) assembly screws. CAUTION: Make sure the screws are snug, otherwise the assembly could separate during operation. Mounting the Remote Holder
A holder is supplied with the transmitter which can be mounted to a existing toggle switch wall plate. The holder will help prevent misplacement of your transmitter by providing a permanent receptacle. See Figure 4.
If desired, the holder can be mounted to a convenient location on a wall.

Operating The Remote Control
The hand-held transmitter has individual buttons for control of the light, for controlling the fan speeds, for turning the fan off, and for reversing. See Figure 5.
Pressing the “LIGHT” button will turn the light on to full brightness. Holding the button will cause the light to dim slowly—release the button at the desired brightness to hold the selected brightness level. Pushing the button again will turn the light off.
The fan may be started by pressing the HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW speed buttons. For best operation, allow the fan to start on HIGH, then select the desired speed. Press the fan OFF button to turn the ceiling fan off. Press the REVERSE button to change the fan’s direction while the fan is running.
NOTE: Replace 12-volt battery with type 23 A, MN-21 or equivalent.
You have completed the installation of the integrated remote control. Refer back to the “Installing Light Fixture” section in the Installation / Owner’s Manual provided with your Hunter fan for proper instructions.
