What is the range distance of the remote? Hope its not like 3 feet, because then it would be useless as a remote.

i have it in my bedroom, and the fan is about 12 feet away and it works fine.

My remote does not work with this fan. It does work with my other Lasko fan. Any thoughts?

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

I've successfully used it up to 50 feet away, but don't know what the longest possible range is. You do not have to be in line of sight -- it will transmit through doors and walls, though the range is reduced.

I live in a double wide and I can be three rooms over and the remote will still work. Not that I need it to but I tested it for this question. Remote seems to be very strong in my opinion.

Hi Bruce, I have one about 30 feet away going through two walls and it works well. sometimes when I get near the remote I mess up the signal on that one. I have a second remote that is about 40 feet away with only one wall between and that one is rock solid and does not fad when I get near it. I also have one remote speaker one floor below and about 30 feet away and that one is also rock solid. I have not tried them outside since I use them to play audio stories to my blind wife in her bedroom and living room. If I am working in the basement, I listen there.

My remote was dead out of the box. I will receive a replacement in 8-10 business days once the product is in stock (they currently have.. none, wonder why?).That said, my comcast universal remote will operate the device except for the menu. Distance is not an issue with my universal remote - I think all the talk about distance is because the original remote is worthless.

I have had the remote work at 15 feet. Never tried any further since that was the longest distance we have needed on most jobs. Hope that helps

The spec is that the range of the remote from the base unit is 600ft. Depending on walls etc it could be less.My aunt uses it in her single family 1 story home without problems.

Would recommend moving the transmitter to front of the trailer and set the receiver as close to the rear of the towing vehicle as possible. Actual useful range is about 15 to 20 feet.

It works like an RF remote. I have been over 75' from my truck and it works great. But I did have issues with it turning on by its self and woke up to a dead battery. Not sure if its just the one I got or a flaw? But I just put it on a toggle switch which defeats the whole purpose but I have learned to live with it.

hi. i spoke to panasonic according to them the range is about 50 feet; but from my experience it depends a lot in the surroundings, for instance some remotes can cause interference and shorten the distance.

i'd say about 20-25 feet unobstructed. i think its about the same as stock. not sure what kind of remote the guy saying 50-75 meters has. that's close to a football field away, an no remote i've ever seen works at that distance.

I do not know the range of the remote. I have it in my kitchen and I use to activate before leaving the house. I do know that any remote will activate this device and that is why I stopped using it. My car alarm activates it, my moms car alarm activates it and my neighbors car alarm as well.

I have no idea. I looked at the model#of my old remote and went from there. I know mine works great but has a shorter range. Sorry i couldn't help more.

This remote is an infrared remote and requires line of sight between the receiver and the remote. I have been able to use it up to 30 feet, mainly limited by the fact that is the furthest distance I can go and still maintain line of sight.

I am not sure. The remote would only stay working for a few minutes. I gave up trying to use it.

Although I haven't done a range limit check I have verified they meet my needs. Here's what I have done: Verified remote's operation to 75+ feet from outside with relay inside house. Verified operation inside house with as many closed doors between remote and relay board as possible, again to appx 75 feet. All that I purchased worked every time. All testing was done without the remote's antenna extended. I have no reason to believe they wouldn't work much farther then 75 feet.
