Here’s how you can pair your Hunter Fan Remote 99600 with your ceiling fan.
Step 1: Turn off the Power
- Switch off the power to your ceiling fan using the wall switch or the circuit breaker. This ensures your fan is not receiving power while you’re working on it.

- Wait at least 10 seconds after turning off the power to make sure the fan is completely powered down.
Step 3: Turn the Power Back On
- Restore the power by switching the circuit breaker or wall switch back on.
Step 4: Pair the Remote with the Fan
- Within 3 minutes of restoring power, press and hold the “Pair” button on the Hunter Fan Remote 99600.
- You may need to press and hold the pairing button for 3-5 seconds until you hear a beep or the fan light blinks.
- Once paired, the fan will typically start operating at the lowest speed, and the light will blink 3 times before staying on.
- If the fan light blinks twice and turns off, the remote has unpaired the receiver.
Step 5: Test the Remote
- Use the remote to test the fan’s functionality:
- Adjust the fan speed (low, medium, high).
- Turn the light on or off and check the dimming functionality.
- Reverse the fan direction for winter or summer use.
5. Troubleshooting Common Pairing Issues
If your Hunter Fan Remote 99600 is not pairing or not working properly, try the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Remote Not Pairing
- Check the battery: Ensure the 12V 23A battery is inserted correctly, and it has enough charge.
- Reset the remote: If pairing doesn’t work, try turning off the fan power again, waiting for 10 seconds, and repeating the pairing steps.
- Check the Dip Switches: If your fan model has Dip switches, make sure they match the settings on the remote and receiver. Incorrect settings can prevent pairing.
2. Fan Not Responding to Remote
- Re-pair the remote: If the remote is not controlling the fan, follow the pairing process again. Double-check the connection between the remote and the receiver.
- Check for signal interference: Move other electronics away from the fan, as they might be causing interference with the signal.
3. Fan Light Not Responding
- Ensure the bulbs are correctly installed: Check that the light bulbs are inserted properly and are dimmable if using the dimming feature.
- Test the light: If the fan works but the light doesn’t, ensure the receiver controls the light properly and that the wiring is intact.
