Q: 

My controller isn't pairing with the app. How do I fix this?

A:

 If the pairing process isn't successful, press any button to return to the normal screen. Then 

hold the port button for 5 seconds to try again. When starting the pairing process around multiple 
WiFi controllers, move your smart device closer to the controller you wish to connect the app with.

Q: 

Why does the app ask me for location permissions?

A:

 The app requires location permissions to find the relative position of your smart controller and 

communicate with existing Bluetooth devices already paired with the app. All Android devices prior 
to system version 12.0 will require location permissions to be turned on for the Bluetooth scan to 
be successful.

Q: 

Will I be able to use this controller with my own fan?

A:

 The CONTROLLER 69 WIFI is only compatible with AC Infinity fans that use EC motors.

Q: 

Does the controller retain its settings after power is shut off?

A:

 Yes. If the controller's power is cut off and is powered on afterward, your settings will remain.
