LOW BATTERY POWER DETECTION
1. Transmitter Batteries : The life span of the remote control transmitter batteries depends on
various factors: quality of the batteries used the number of ignitions of the appliance, the number
of
changes to the room thermostat set point, etc. When the Transmitter batteries are low, a
Battery Icon will appear on the LCD display of the Transmitter before all battery power is lost.
When the batteries are replaced, this icon will disappear.
2. Wall Receiver Batteries : The life span of the wall receiver batteries depend on the quality of the batteries used and how long the
batteries have been installed in the wall receiver. These batteries are only utilized during power outages. Replace these batteries
every heating season even if you have not experienced any power outages. Batteries drain slowly even when not in use. This is a
normal characteristic of all batteries.
INITIALIZING THE REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
MASTER SWITCH : Remote Transmitter WILL NOT communicate to receiver unless the Master Switch is ON. The master switch when
OFF disables all functions and acts as a Master Safety Shutoff Switch.
Synchronizing
the
Receiver and Transmitter
Master Switch and Sync Switch are located on the bottom left corner of the appliance.
1. Toggle Master Switch to ON (toggle UP). Remote Transmitter WILL NOT communicate to receiver unless the Master Switch is ON.
2.
Locate Sync Switch (below Master Switch). Press the Sync Button and release. The receiver will beep 3 times indicating that it is
ready to synchronize with a Remote Transmitter.
3.
Push the “ON” key on the Remote Transmitter. The receiver will beep 4 times to indicate that the Transmitter’s command is
accepted and sets to the particular code of that Transmitter. The system is now initialized.
NOTE : Once synchronized, the Transmitter and Receivers will communicate permanently and no further Synchronizing steps are
necessary unless either the Transmitter or Receiver is replaced.
