So - here's the install story. TLDR; happy ending, the fans are great!
We bought two of these. We had bought a home last year and the living room had two old fans I wanted to replace. They were serially connected to a light switch. Lucky for us, my brother-in-law worked for Lowe's when his store was opened and was tasked with putting all the display ceiling fans together. That's a LOT of fans! O.o
The first fan went up without a hitch. Then the second one went up - and the lights were stuck "on" and the fan wouldn't run. Poor BIL troubleshooted and thought the receiver to the fan, that runs the remote might be bad. I called Hunter and got in the support queue. Very nice guy in Iowa answered and I gave him the model # and told him what was going on. Long story short, the Hunter rep knew exactly what was wrong, and walked us through the steps to re-pair the remote to the transmitter. Turned out, the remotes are paired at the factory (the first fan was fine), but sometimes they can get disconnected. So the info to do the pairing if needed is on page 9 of the installation manual, under Preparing the Remote. Since fan #1 was fine, it didn't occur to us that the pairing was off on #2. Oops.
Did I mention we love these fans?? They are silent and run well. The first pic has what looks like a green orb that must be a reflection off something lol.
