MODEL BCR1
RANGE HOOD REMOTE CONTROL
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Your Broan BCR1 remote control is a Radio Frequency (RF) wireless device used to operate the fan, lights, and
Unlike Infrared (IR) remotes, which are the most common, RF remotes are easier to use because they do not require line of sight, so they do not have to be aimed directly at the equipment they are controlling. RF is a very convenient, reliable method to transmit commands without wires for the operation of your compatible range hood. This system will offer exceptional performance in most cases. Although signals will often travel great distances, as well as around and through structures/walls, there are some limitations to the operating range. See troubleshooting guide on page 1 regarding these limitations.
CONTROL OPERATION
When a button is depressed on the remote control, it sends a coded signal to the receiver installed on a Broan compatible hood, telling it which function to activate.

The RF encoder on your remote control is a fixed address encoder, meaning the address (security) code can be changed to another code manually. There exists a slight possibility of interference from other RF remote controls (garage door transmitter, home and car security systems, remote control paddle fans, other range hoods installed nearby). To resolve interference issues, the address or code can be changed (up to 32 independent address codes) by changing the settings on the 5 position DIP switches on the handheld remote. Note that in most cases, this will not be necessary. The product is shipped from the factory (transmitter and receiver) with DIP address settings set to matching codes (switch 1 set to ON - switches
For some hood models, a specific linking procedure between the hood and remote control is required before use. Refer to your hood installation instructions for further information.
