REMOTE RECEIVER
The remote receiver operates on (4) AA-size 1.5V batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for lon-
ger battery life and maximum microprocessor performance. IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential for
proper operation of the remote receiver.
The remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the transmitter to control system
operation. It emits one beep when it receives an ON or OFF command manually, but no beep when cycling ON and OFF
automatically in THERMO mode. The remote receiver has a 3-position slide switch for selecting the MODE of operation:
ON/REMOTE/OFF
• With the slide switch in the ON position (toward the
LEARN button), the system will remain on until the
slide switch is placed in the OFF or REMOTE position.
• With the slide switch in the REMOTE position
(centered), the system will only operate if the remote
receiver receives commands from the transmitter.
• With the slide switch in the OFF position (away from
the LEARN button), the system is OFF.
• It is suggested that the slide switch be placed in the
off position if you will be away from your home for
an extended period of time. If the remote receiver
is mounted out of children’s reach, placing the slide
switch in the OFF position also functions as a safety
“lock-out” by both turning the system off and rendering
the remote receiver inoperative.

Note
: This product is designed for use with an attended hearth appliance or fire feature. Adults must be present when the
Control System is operating. DO NOT program or thermostatically set this Control to operate a hearth appliance or fire
feature when Adults are not physically present. Furthermore, DO NOT leave the hearth appliance or fire feature burning
unattended; it may cause damage or serious injury. If an Adult is going to be away from the hearth appliance or fire
feature for any length of time, then the handheld/wall mount, receiver/control module and application should be in the
“OFF” position.
THERMO- SAFETY FEATURE – RECEIVER (T/S –RX)
This SKYTECH remote control has a THERMO- SAFETY feature that is built into the system’s RECEIVER. This feature is
temperature- activated and provides an extra margin of safety when the RECEIVER is operating where ambient
temperatures exceed 130° F inside the receiver case.
The THERMO-SAFETY feature, in the RECEIVER, operates in the following manner, when the appliance is in operation.
The receiver is thermally protected from extreme heat conditions. Heat can have negative effect on the operation of the
receiver’s microprocessors.
For REMOTE RECEIVERS that operate on BATTERY POWER, these heat conditions can cause batteries to discharge
when temperatures exceed 115° F. Studies show that alkaline batteries, when exposed to a constant temperature of
120° F, can lose up to 50% of their operating power. When the battery cools down, it will partially recharge itself, but
constant heating and cooling will reduce the battery’s normal life expectancy.
When the ambient temperature at the THERMISTOR, inside the receiver case, reaches 130° F, the THERMISTOR will
automatically shut the appliance down and the RECEIVER will begin emitting a series of 2 “beeps”, every 4 seconds.
When the ambient temperature, at the RECEIVER, drops between 120° F and 130° F, the user can reactivate the
appliance by pushing the MODE button on the transmitter. The word ON must display on the LCD screen. When the ON
button is pressed, the wall THERMISTOR “resets” itself and the fireplace will begin operating again. However, the
“beeping” will continue, if the ambient temperature remains between 120° F and 130° F. This “beeping” alerts the user
that the RECEIVER should be repositioned so the ambient temperature drops below 120° F.
When the temperature drops below 120° F, the “beeping” will cease, providing the user has “reset” the THERMISTOR
by pushing the MODE button to ON to operate the appliance, either manually or thermally. Allow sufficient time for the
receiver to cool below 120° F, and then press MODE button to stop beeping.
