OPERATIONAL NOTES
The Thermo Feature on the transmitter operates the appliance whenever the ROOM TEMPERATURE varies a certain
number of degrees from the SET TEMPERATURE. This variation is called the “SWING” or TEMPERATURE
DIFFERENTIAL. The normal operating cycle of an appliance may be 2-4 times per hour depending on how well the room
or home is insulated from the cold or drafts. The factory setting for the “swing number” is 2. This represents a
temperature variation of +/- 2° F (1° C) between SET temperature and ROOM temperature, which determines when the
fireplace will be activated. This function is pre-set at the factory.
The transmitter has ON and OFF manual functions that are activated by pressing either button on the face of the
transmitter. When a button on the transmitter is pressed the word ON or OF will appear on the LCD screen to show while
the signal is being sent. Upon initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before the remote receiver will respond
to the transmitter. This is part of the system’s design.
REMOTE RECEIVER
THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE AMBIENT TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130° F.
The remote receiver operates on (4) AA-size 1.5V batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for
longer 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.
• 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.
TO DISENGAGE THE THERMO MODE
Press the MODE button to disengage the thermo mode. The word ROOM will not show on the LCD screen when the
thermo is not in operation.
NOTE:
The highest SET temperature is 99° F (32° C) and the lowest temperature is 45° F(6°C).
