What type of battery does the remote control take for the Bonaire 40 tower fan model # BTF4010CR-BCU. Also how do you open the remote control. I cannot get it open ?

it's your typical cr2025 3v flat round battery. You can find them in most radio shacks or even krogers/ralphs or major markets. To open your remote, ther'e a little rectangular opening about an inch up, and i'm talking small, 2 centimeters wide? well push that in with a pen tip or small screwdriver while pulling down where that indentation at the bottom edge of the remote and it slides out. the rectangular part is what's locking it in place.

That battery is also sold at most major auto parts. I know for a fact that AutoZone and O'Reillys carries that size battery since it's a common car alarm remote battery size.

The fan remote function is on a small easy to use remote. Best regards,H Brooks

I did not install a remote control. The manual states that "Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls. If you have installed this type of control, choose and install another type of control" I would expect the fan to work well with a non solid-state control.

Update...R. Georgiadis...no this fan doesn't have a remote...I'm so sorry I was thinking about another fan we are using...this one is rather light weight. Take a look at the Soleus 16" stand fan with remote control Model FS2-40R-32..this is the fan we are using.

Hi Andrew, thank you for the question. This fan does not come with a remote. It comes with a standard, 3 speed pull chain, and has a reverse capability. Unfortunately, no other control options are available for this fan. We hope this answers your question. If you need anything else, please reach out to one of our experts. They're literally sitting right next to their phones right now, and they know everything :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

Pregnant or fat Li-ION batteries are common with these remotes as the battery ages .... replace it quickly or you WILL have problems removing it. It took me almost 1 hour to remove mine from my Hamony ONE It was about a year and a half old. If you break the remote while removing it... its your problem a $400.00 remote is garbage. Keep an eye on them and change them regularly or its a stuck battery or cracked useless remote!!

I assume that could be more than one thing. Easiest first: Does the little LED on the transmitter come on when you press the buttons? If not, check your batteries and their proper installation. If the batteries are good, and you see the LED, can you turn the fan's light on and off? If not you may have no power to the fan. When you installed the fan, are all of the connectors inside of the fan housing properly connected? The fan's receiver my be disconnected. I don't have the installation instructions handy, and I installed three different fans, so I am not clear on the details anymore. It's been years. Lastly, if none of the above helps, contact the seller or manufacturer or see if there are problem reports and solutions on line.

Julia - that's a great question. We have just recently installed our fan (which I LOVE, by the way), and do not have it hooked up to a remote control. However, we did look at Universal Remote Controls at Home Depot with the thought in mind that some day we might want one. If you could obtain the specifics on this type of remote control and contact a "brick-and-mortar" establishment that sells these fans (like Lamps Plus) they might be able to answer your question. Just a thought!

When I bought the fan, I had a remote. The original remote got stepped on. So I had to buy another. They guy who put my fan up was able to get the new remote to work with fan.

The batteries is for the remote control that comes with the fan. The fan has an electrical cord

It uses a CR2032 battery. I have not needed to replace my battery yet, but looking at the unit, I see an access plate on the backside of it. It can be opened using a coin. Replacement should be very simple.
