Why in the world would you not have a simple ON/Off function on the remote?

I have no idea. All I do know is that it is frustrating not have an on/off button on the remote. I am going to check into a universal remote to see if it is compatible with the system.

That is something that has perplexed me from the day I bought the unit. Otherwise, it performs well. I've had it about 3 years now with no problems at all.

I believe that the PYLE design team is fighting the obesity epidemic by forcing us to walk over to the receiver and push the power button several times a day. I can not think of any other possible reason for leaving a vital function off the remote!

Maybe for you, but for me, I'd like an On/Off switch. I'd also like it to have a timer. Guess you can't have it all.

Did you check the slide button at the bottom? There's an 'on', 'off', and 'remote' setting.

Yes my remote has the button on the back. However I have no idea what this button is for, sorry I couldn't help you.

Sorry for the delay, but I needed to return home to examine the fan. Replace the wall on-off switch with a multi-position fan control switch. No remote is needed.

Strange, only reason could be an incompatible remote, especially since you've done this before. Perhaps you can call the manufacturer?

Only the receiver has a off-on switch, the remote is on all the time. To get around this problem I take the batteries out when I'm done using the timer. But as far as I'm concerned this is no big deal.

nope, no remote, but I never needed one for my application of this product.

so far I can only do it with remote. If there is another way I haven't figured it out yet.

The remote has an on/off button on the back, allowing you to turn just the remote on and off. However, it does not have a battery saving mode where it shuts off on its own.

You can use the remote but it is not instant. You hold the button and a message comes up and you have to arrow up to "turn off console". Not instant but pretty quick.

i have never tried, but can't find an on/off button anywhere. does come with remote, so that is what i use. DID NOT SEE BUTTON ON BACK TILL I READ PREVIOUS ANSWERS. THANKS.

I only turned it on/off using the front button or removing power. I do not need a remote control so did not try this function and am not even sure if it has an IR receiver.

Thanks for the info. In case you were able to configure successfully, please do let us knw... Might come in handy, in case the remote falters. I've not had any issues with the remote ever since I started using it... Hope it stays the same... :)

Not as I understand it. The power button isn't programmable because it would be very easy to mess up. Really, its the only downside to this otherwise very full featured, very reliable, very inexpensive remote. All too often the multi-device-on power buttons on cable company remotes time out and leave at least one device off anyway

There is no on/off switch. You have to remove the batteries to turn it off. However, no batteries are required when using it as a single shot wired remote.

The remote is optional, but it's great to have. I find myself adjusting the fan speed while watching TV. I also have a bedroom fan with a remote that I adjust during the night for when I feel too hot or too cold. Sure beats using the pull chains or running back and forth to the wall switch. (Yeah I know, but people used to think it was lazy to have a remote for the TV when they first came out.)
