We have OR52-MULTI modern flames electric fireplace. The remote stopped working but the fireplace can be turned on manually. We replaced the battery and can see a little red light on top of remote but it doesn't work. Does it need to be paired or synced, couldn't find anything in the manual about that. Thanks
