Depending on the capabilities of fan, you can adjust its speed, turn it on and off or adjust its rate of oscillation, if applicable, using the remote. If you are having issues with your remote control fan, checking the settings of the fan as well as the remote itself could help you solve these problems.
Instructions
1. Change the batteries in your fan's remote control. Most fan remotes take one or two AA or AAA sized batteries. If your fan's remote is slowly becoming more and more unresponsive over time, this is an indication that the batteries need to be changed. Another indication is if the remote stops working altogether.
2. Stay close to your fan when using the remote control. The remote for a fan can only communicate with the fan over a specific distance --- usually a few feet to around 15 feet. If you walk outside of this distance, you won't be able to use the remote to control the fan. Also, make sure that no large objects are in between the remote and the fan and that the remote is pointed directly at the fan.
3. Make sure that none of the physical buttons on the fan itself are pressed down or stuck in the "down" position. The buttons on the fan will always override the remote control; if a button is stuck down, it could prevent the remote from being able to control the fan. Check the settings on the fan itself and then attempt to use your fan's remote another time.
