With the hood not running, hold the hood button for four seconds. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why won't my XO remote work after installation? It has to be paired first: hold the hood button four seconds, then press a remote key while it blinks. ### My XO ceiling vent ignores the remote. What now? Pair it again, and if the hood still ignores it, try a new battery before booking a visit. ### Does pairing change any settings on my XO hood? No, it only links the remote to the hood. --- **[Read on the site: XO button blinking five seconds: ready to pair a remote](https://rangehooderepair.center/error-codes/xo-button-blinks-for-remote/)** **[Book a visit with RangeHoodeRepair.center](https://rangehooderepair.center/schedule/)**
