Re: Emerson SW375 Ceiling Fan Receiver Programming

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The batteries died in my remote and after
changing them, I still couldn't get the remote to work.Had no clue how to
proceed, was about to go buy a new one. Really appreciate the time and $
you've saved me by telling me how to re-sync the controller and remote.
You've made my day, and again, thank you!!
