INSTALLING BATTERIES IN WIRELESS HAND-HELD REMOTE
CONTROL AND RECEIVER
Installing Batteries in Remote Receiver
1. Open bottom access door.
2. Remove switch plate from receiver.
3. Gently pull receiver from mounting bracket. The receiver is still
connected to the valve.
4. Remove battery housing cover on remote receiver to expose bat-
tery housing (see Figure 35).
5. Install 4 AA batteries into housing following positive and negative
directions on battery housing cover removed in step 3 (see Figure
35).
6. Replace battery housing cover, place back into mounting bracket
and cover with switch plate.
7. Install 2 D batteries into AC backup battery pack.
8. Close bottom access door.

MATCHING SECURITY CODES
Each remote control can use one of 65,536 unique security codes.
It may be necessary to program the remote receiver to "LEARN" the
security code of the remote control upon initial use, if batteries are
replaced or if a replacement remote control is purchased from your
dealer. When matching security codes, be sure the slide button on
the receiver is in the REMOTE position; the code will not "LEARN".
If the slide switch is in the ON or OFF position. Program the remote
receiver to "LEARN" a new security code by pushing the LEARN but-
ton on the top of the remote receiver and then pressing the MODE
button on the remote control. A change in the beeping pattern, at the
receiver, indicates the remote control's code has been programed into
the receiver. When an existing receiver is matched to a new remote
control, the new security code will override the old one.
The microprocessor that controls the security code matching pro-
cedure is controlled by a timing function. If you are unsuccessful in
matching the security code on the first attempt, wait 1-2 minutes
before trying again. This delay allows the microprocessor to reset its
timer circuitry and try up to two or three more times.

BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of the alkaline batteries in the remote control should
be at least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries annually. When
the remote control no longer operates the remote receiver from a
distance it did previously or the remote receiver does not function at
all, the batteries should be checked. It is important that the remote
receiver batteries are fully charged and provide continuous output
voltage of at least 5.3 Volts. The length of the wire, the more battery
power is required to deliver signals between the remote receiver and
the gas valve. Recommended length is no longer than 20 feet The
remote control should operate with as little as 9.0 Volts battery power.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem
may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the remote control.
Review the fireplace manufacturer's operation manual to make sure
all connections are properly made. Then check the operation of the
remote in the following manner:
• Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the receiver. One
reversed battery will keep the receiver from operating properly.
• Check batter in remote control to make sure contacts are touching
(+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for tighter fit.
• Be sure receiver and remote control are within 20 to 25 feet
operating range.
• Keep receiver from temperatures exceeding 130°F. Battery life
is shortened about this level.
• If receiver is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the
operating distance will shorten.
ADJUSTMENTS
• To adjust at the receiver, use a small slotted screwdriver. Turn
the adjustment screw counter-clockwise about 5 degrees or a
maximum of 1/8 turn. This should correct the distance problem.
• If the problem is not corrected, return adjustment screw to
original position and then turn adjustment screw clockwise.
• This adjustment is like turning your radio dial. If you keep turning
the adjustment screw, in either direction, you will go past the
proper setting (tuning).
