Axis Instructions 33

What is Pairing?

Pairing is the process of connecting your Modern Forms remote or 
wall control to your fan.  Your fan comes pre-paired to your included 
remote control.  However, if you want additional controls for your 
fan or if you’re replacing a control, refer to the pairing and unpairing 
section of the instructions. 

What is a Factory Reset?

Factory Reset is a restore of the fans original settings.  This can 
be achieved from the control or by pressing and holding the small 
button on the receiver until you hear three audible beeps or by 
holding down the fan toggle, light toggle, and season toggle buttons 
on your paired remote or wall control for 10 seconds.   

NOTE:

 You will need to re-pair your remote or wall controls to the 

fan following a factory reset. A factory reset will also disconnect the 
fan from your home Wi-Fi network and will require you to add the fan 
using the Modern Forms Smart Fans app.  

Please refer to the FAQ section of our app for further guidance.  
For all other questions, please contact our dedicated Fan Support 
specialists.  Contact information can be found at the front of the 
instructions.
