LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO RECEIVER

Each transmitter uses a unique security code. It will be necessary to 

press the LEARN button on the receiver to accept the transmitter security 

code upon initial use, if batteries are replaced, or if a replacement 

transmitter is purchased from your dealer or the factory. In order for 

the receiver to accept the transmitter security code, be sure the slide 

button on the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the receiver will 

not LEARN if the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position. The LEARN 

button in located on the front face of the receiver; inside the small hole 

labeled LEARN. Using a small screwdriver or end of a paperclip gently 

Press and Release the black LEARN button inside the hole. When you 

release the LEARN button the receiver will emit an audible “beep”. After 

the receiver emits the beep press any transmitter button and release. 

The receiver will emit several beeps indicating that the transmitter’s 

code has been accepted into the receiver.
To delete all of the transmitter codes on your receiver, press and hold 

the LEARN button for 10 seconds. Then you will hear a series of beeps, 

indicating that the receiver’s memory has been cleared.

BATTERY LIFE

Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter should be 

at least 12 months.
Check and replace all batteries:
•  Annually.
•  When operating range becomes reduced.
•  When transmissions are not received by the remote receiver.
•  If the hand held transmitter battery measures less than 9.0 volts.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem 

may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the remote. Review 

the  fireplace  manufacturer’s  manual  to  make  sure  all  connections 

are made properly. Then check the operation of this remote in the 

following manner:
•  Make sure there is a 110-volt power source to the receiver.
•  Check battery in transmitter to make sure contacts are touching 

(+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for a tighter fit.

•  Check if the transmitter battery is fully charged.
•  Ensure that the transmitter and receiver are within 20 to 25-foot 

operating range.

•  If the receiver is installed in a tight enclosed metal surrounding, the 

operating range will be shortened.

•  Make sure the hand-held transmitter and remote receiver are 

communicating properly (see LEARNING TRANSMITTER TO  RECEIVER 

section).
