Adjusting the Flame Height -
Operates in ON or THERMO mode
This remote control system allows the user to control the 
height of the FLAME when the gas valve is factory equipped 
with a FLAME CONTROLLER.
1. Press and release FLAME button to change fl ame height
to HI (see Figure 8, Location #5), (a second fl ame icon 
appears).
2. Press again to return fl ame to normal state.
Low/Battery Indicator
An “X” outlined by a battery on the right side of the LCD 
screen will appear when battery power has dropped sig-
nifi cantly. At this time, approximately two weeks of battery 
power remains.
Child Proof Lockout (CP)
The transmitter contains a “Child Proof” lockout feature that 
prevents unauthorized use of the remote control. To access 
the “Child Proof” activation button, remove cover on BACK 
of transmitter. To activate LOCKOUT:
1. Press and hold in the “setting button” for 5 seconds. The
letters CP will display on the LCD screen (see Figure 
8). This prevents the activation of fi replace. When any 
function button is pressed ON/OFF etc. the letter CP 
will display on the LCD screen. 
To deactivate LOCKOUT:
1. Press and hold in the “setting button” for 5 seconds. The
LCD will display CP until 5 seconds have elapsed, and 
then the LCD screen will return to its normal state.
TRANSMITTER SAFETY FEATURES
It is recommended that the TRANSMITTERS always be 
located within a 20 foot operating range of the fi replace, 
preferably in the same room in which the fi replace system 
is located. The TRANSMITTER features several safety 
features that alert the user when the TRANSMITTER is 
placed outside the 20 foot normal operating range.
Thermo-Updating and Communication-Safety Fea-
tures
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. It is also activated 
when the batteries become weak or are removed from the 
transmitter.
In the THERMO-UPDATING feature (only in the THERMO 
or TIMER modes) the transmitter normally reads the ROOM 
temperature every 2 minutes. In addition to checking the 
temperature, the transmitter sends a signal to the receiver in-
dicating that the transmitter and its batteries are still active. 
In the COMMUNICATION-SAFETY feature, at all times 
and in all OPERATING MODES the transmitter sends a 
signal every fi fteen (15) minutes to the receiver, indicating 
that the transmitter is within the normal operating range 
of 20 feet. 
SYSTEM CHECK
Millivolt Valves
Light the appliance following the lighting instructions that 
came with the fi replace. Confi rm that the pilot fl ame is on. 
It must be in operation for the main gas valve to operate.
1. Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the
ON position. The main gas fl ame (i.e., the fi re) should 
ignite.
2. Slide the button to OFF. The fl ame should extinguish
(the pilot fl ame will remain on).
3. Slide the button to REMOTE (the center position), then
press the MODE button on the transmitter to change 
the system to ON. The main gas fl ame should ignite.
4. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change
the system to OFF. The fl ame should extinguish (the 
pilot fl ame will remain on).
5. Press the MODE button on the transmitter to change
the system to THERMO.
6. Advance the SET temperature on the transmitter to a
temperature of at least 2º F (1º C) above the ROOM 
temperature displayed on the LCD screen and the 
system fl ame will ignite.
Should the receiver NOT receive a transmitter signal every 
15 minutes (COMMUNICATION-SAFETY feature), the RE-
CEIVER will begin a 2 HOUR (120 minute) countdown tim-
ing function. If during this 2 hour period, the receiver does 
not receive a signal from the transmitter, the RECEIVER 
will shut down the fi replace being controlled by the receiver. 
The RECEIVER will then emit a series of rapid “beeps”. 
Then, after 10 rapid “beeps”, the RECEIVER will continue 
to emit a single “beep” every 4 seconds until a transmitter 
signal is again received. The intermittent 4 second beeping 
will go on indefi nitely until reset.
To “reset” the RECEIVER and operate the fi replace system:
1. Press the MODE button on the transmitter. The word
ON must display on the LCD screen. The COMMUNICA-
TION -SAFETY operation is overridden and the system 
will return to normal operation depending on the MODE 
selected at the transmitter. 
We recommend the user check the batteries in the 
TRANSMITTER to make sure the voltage is no less than 
2.7 volts.
Auto Shutdown
This remote control has an Auto Shutdown feature incor-
porated into its system. When the transmitter MODE is 
in the ON position the fi replace will continuously operate 
for 9 hours. After 9 hours, the fi replace will shut down. To 
relight the fi replace:
1. Press the MODE button. The fi replace will operate
continuously for up to 9 hours before Auto Shutdown 
repeats cycle. The Auto Shutdown signal comes from 
the transmitter. The transmitter must be positioned 
within a 20 foot operating range for the Auto Shutdown 
feature to operate.
