Low-battery detection:  
 

1.    Battery voltage is checked once a minute. When the battery voltage drops to a 

certain level, the low-battery icon will display on LCD, and the transmitter 

will turn off the appliance

. The transmitter will not function anymore until 

fresh batteries are installed.  

2.     When the batteries are low, the LCD displays a low battery indicator. The low 

battery indicator will be displayed in any mode. 

3.    The transmitter will not operate with low batteries. Change the batteries before 

the batteries are too weak for normal operation.  

TURN THE UNIT OFF 

BEFORE REPLACING BATTERIES

 
 
 
 
Child-proof protection:  
 

1. Press and hold the ON and OFF buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter 

childproof mode as shown in this picture. 

2. The transmitter will not send a signal again until childproof mode is deactivated 

by pressing the ON and OFF buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to exit 
childproof mode and the Childproof indicator disappears from LCD.   

 
 
 
 
Transmitter Thermal Shutdown: 
 

1. If transmitter measures a room temperature exceeding 99 degrees Fahrenheit, the 

LCD will display "HI" and the transmitter will turn off the appliance. 

2. Transmitter will not function until the room temperature has dropped below 99 

degree Fahrenheit.  If transmitter measures a room temperature less than 40 
degrees Fahrenheit, the LCD will display “LO” and 

NO SIGNAL will be sent 

to turn on the appliance

.  

 
 

 

Receiver: 

 

Slide Switch: 
 

1.

 

ON position: the main burner will ignite and blower will come on  when Blower on Delay Time is reached 
and fan speed has been enabled; otherwise just burner will ignite until the slide switch is placed in the OFF 
or RS position to turn burner off. 

2.

 

RS position: the system will operate if the remote receiver receives a signal from the transmitter. 

3.

 

OFF position, the system is off. If fan speed has been enabled blower will continure to operate until Off 
Delay Time expires.  

The slide switch should be placed in the OFF position if you will be away for an 

extended period of time.

   If the remote receiver is mounted out of children’s reach, the OFF position also 

functions as a safety device by both turning the system off and rendering the receiver inoperable.
