    Hi Maxine,
    If you are referring to the DIP switch setting, the settings for the remote control transmitter and the ceiling fan receiver module must have the same address or DIP switch setting. Therefore the settings on the ceiling fan module would have to be visually identified. Most receiver modules are located inside the cover plate where the ceiling fan attaches to the ceiling electrical box.
    I hope this helps,
    Dave

    The position grid for my remote control has been dislodged. How do I position it so that it is able to power the fan and lights again?
