Change the Remote Frequency on a Hampton Bay Ceiling Fan
Hampton Bay ceiling fans are a proprietary brand of the Home Depot. Each Hampton Bay ceiling fan equipped with a remote control comes with a control and receiver. The receiver and the control both have a set of four dip switches with two positions on each switch and by changing the dip switch positions; it changes the frequency on the fan. If you have two Hampton Bay remote fans you should change the dip switches, allowing them to operate independently. Hampton Bay ceiling fan remotes are preset on the same frequency at the factory.
