Help with ceiling fan wiring

Hi all, I'm trying to put up a Turn of the Century (Avalon model) ceiling fan in our bedroom, and ran into a bit of a hiccup. Between the switch box and the ceiling box, I have a length of 14-3, as I wanted separate switches controlling the fan and lights. The fan motor has the traditional black, white and blue wires. The stumbling block (for me anyway) comes from the fact that the fan includes a receiver for the remote control. On the receiver, there are two red wires labeled AC in N and AC in L respectively in addition to a corresponding set of black, white and blue wires. The wiring instructions they have don't seem to account for the extra 'hot' conductor I have in my ceiling box unfortunately. Here is how they say to connect the wires: 1. The Motor white wire to the white wire from the Receiver. 2. The Motor black wire to the black wire from the Receiver. 3. The Motor blue wire to the blue wire from the Receiver. 4. The white wire from the Outlet box to the red AC in N wire from the Receiver. 5. the Red wire from the Outlet box to the red AC in L wire from the Receiver. 6. Tie all ground wires together. OK- I might just be missing the obvious, but where the heck does the Black wire from the Outlet box connect to in this scenario?? I find it odd they mention a red wire from the outlet box, but nothing about a black. Essentially, I think they are expecting me to wire everything to a single switch and just use the pull-chains to toggle the lights/fan off if desired. Any thoughts on how I can wire this up with the 3-conductor cable I have? Thanks for reading! Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but these remote fans are not meant to be run with two wall switches. I'm thinking you should just cap off that extra wire and stuff it in the ceiling box. HotinOKC has it right. Cap one of the hot wires in the ceiling box. Now all you have to do is figure out which of the wall switches controls the wire you are using. Good luck with your project. Thanks guys! So essentially, it sounds as though the wall switch will always remain on, and the remote will then be used to control operation of the fan/lights? I'll take a look at my wall switches this evening and eliminate the one I won't be needing. Thanks again - I really appreciate your help!
