COMMUNICATION - SAFETY (C/S - TX)
This remote control has a COMMUNICATION –SAFETY function built into its software. It provides an extra margin of
safety when the Transmitter is out of the normal 20-foot operating range of the receiver.
At all times and in all OPERATING MODES, the transmitter sends an RF signal every 15 minutes, to the receiver, indicat-
ing that the transmitter is within the normal operating range of 20-feet. Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter
signal every 15 minutes, the receiver, will begin a 2-hour (120 minute) countdown timing function. If during this 2-hour pe-
riod, the receiver does not receive a signal from the transmitter, the receiver will shut down the appliance being controlled
by the receiver. The receiver will then emit a series of rapid “beeps” for a period of 10 seconds. Then after 10 seconds
of rapid beeping, the receiver will continue to emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds until a transmitter MODE button is
pressed to reset the receiver.
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the fireplace system, you must press the MODE button on the transmitter. The
word ON must display on the LCD screen. By turning the system to ON, the COMMUNICATION SAFETY operation is
overridden and the system will return to normal operation depending on the MODE selected at the transmitter.
The COMMUNICATION SAFETY feature will reactivate should the transmitter be taken out of the normal operating range
or should the transmitter’s batteries fail or be removed.
GENERAL INFORMATION
CHILDPROOF (CP) “LOCK-OUT”
This remote control includes a CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” feature that allows
the user to “LOCK-OUT” operation of the appliance from the TRANSMITTER.
• To activate the “LOCK-OUT” feature, press and hold the UP button and the
SET button together for 5 seconds. The letters “CP” will appear on the LCD
screen.
• To disengage the “LOCK-OUT”, press and hold the UP button and the SET
button together for 5 seconds or more, the letters “CP” will disappear from
the LCD screen and the transmitter will return to its normal operating
condition.
• When the Transmitter is in “LOCK-OUT” mode, automatic functions (like
thermostat) will turn ON without interruption; only manual functions are
prevented. (See Fig. 25)

THERMO SAFETY FEATURE
If the receiver at anytime should reach 130 ºF, the receiver will automatically shut down and begin to beep 3 beeps every
2 seconds. Once the temperature has dropped between 120ºF and 130ºF, the user can reactivate the appliance by
pressing the MODE button, but the beeping will continue until temperatures drop below 120ºF. This is to tell the user that
the receiver needs to be relocated to reduce temperatures.
If this situation happens, the receiver should be placed somewhere else where it will not reach temperatures in excess of
130ºF.

BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the transmitter and receiver 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 remote receiver batteries measure less than 5.3 volts (all four batteries in combination).
• If the hand held transmitter batteries measure less than 2.5 volts (both batteries in combination).
