INTRODUCTION
This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating
appliance. The system can be operated thermostatically or manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies
(RF) within a 20''range using non-directional signals. The system operates one of 1,048,576 security codes that are programmed into
the transmitter at the factory; the remote receiver's code must be matched to that of the transmitter prior to initial use.
Review COMMUNICATION SAFETY SECTION under TRANSMITTER section and THERMO SAFETY SECTION under REMOTE
RECEIVER section. These signal/temperature safety features shut down the fireplace system when a potentially unsafe condition exists.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR OPERATE
The transmitter operates on 2AAA-size 1.5V batteries. It is recommended that ALKALINE
batteries always be used for longer battery life and maximum operational performance.
IMPORTANT: New or fully charged batteries are essential for proper operation of the
multi-function transmitter.
ROOM
SET
Insert 2 AAA-size 1.5 V batteries into the battery transmitter, positioning the (+) and (-)
ends of the batteries as indicated on the casing. When the batteries are inserted, the
screen below (with similar numbers) will display.
Note: If a LOW battery icon appears on the screen, check the
position of the batteries.
Note: Due to the sensitive temperature-monitoring components
in the transmitter, it may be necessary to allow the transmitter to
stabilize to room temperature before accurate room temperatures
are displayed on the screen. If the transmitter is activated from a
severe cold condition, it can take up to fifteen minutes for accurate
temperature readings to appear.

    SETTING THE CURRENT DAY OF THE WEEK Following Step 3 above, the symbol SU will begin flashing on the LCD screen. To change to the current day of the week Press the AHEAD or TIME BACK button on the front of the transmitter. After setting/confirming the current Day of the week, press the SET button on the front of the transmitter.
  • Page 4: Programming Note

    NOTE: If the above settings were not previously completed during the initial SET-UP and PROGRAMMING procedure, then the LCD screen will display SU, MORN, TIME and SET temperature digits. You must go back and perform the initial set-up procedure or the PROGRAM remote will not operate properly in the PROGRAM mode.
  • Page 5: Program Review

    PROGRAM REVIEW If you want to review the settings for either the FACTORY program PROGRAM MORN and/or your CUSTOMIZED program, you may do so by pressing the PROG button for one second. To review other settings, press the PROG button allowing one START second between each press of the PROG button.
  • Page 6: Operating Instructions

    OPERATIONAL NOTE: TO CONSERVE BATTERY POWER, CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ARE ONLY RECORDED EVERY TWO MINUTES. Additionally, to prevent repeated thermo-cycling of the gas appliance, the sensing unit in the transmitter will only activate the remote receiver when the temperature change exceeds 2 F (1 C) above or below the SET (desired) temperature.
  • Page 7 To HOLD the new temperature at a CONSTANT setting, push the UP and DOWN buttons TOGETHER to activate the HOLD function. The word HOLD will appear over the SET frame and the word OVERRIDE will disappear. To cancel OVERRIDE or HOLD, press the SET button. TIME OF DAY DISPLAY To check the current TIME of day, press the TIMER/TIME button on the transmitter for less than 1 second.
  • Page 8: Remote Receiver

    THERMO UPDATING FEATURE –TRANSMITTER This remote control has a THERMO UPDATING Feature built into its software. The THERMO UPDATING Feature operates in the following manner, but only in the THERMO and PROGRAM MODES: The transmitter normally reads the ROOM temperature every 2 minutes checking the ROOM temperature against the SET temperature it sends a signal to the receiver.
  • Page 9: Installation Instructions

    For REMOTE RECEIVERS that operate on BATTERY POWER, these heat conditions can cause batteries to discharge when temperatures exceed 115 F. Studies show that alkaline batteries, when exposed to a constant temperature of 115 F, can lose up to 50% of their operating power. When the battery cools down, it will partially recharge itself, but constant heating and cooling will reduce the battery’s normal life expectancy.

    To attach wall cover plate to receiver box: Position the receiver as shown in diagram to the left with lower tab on wall cover plate into groove of receiver (Make sure ADJ hole Cover Plate (Rear View) and LEARN hole on cover plate properly aligns with remote receiver) Remote Receiver Pull receiver up and snap into top tab of cover plate.
  • Page 11: System Check

    SYSTEM CHECK MILLIVOLT VALVES Light your gas appliance following the lighting instructions that came with the appliance. Confirm that the pilot flame is on; it must be in operation for the main gas valve to operate. • Slide the 3-position button on the remote receiver to the ON position. The main gas flame (i.e., the fire) should ignite. •...
  • Page 12: Battery Life

    BATTERY LIFE Life expectancy of alkaline batteries in the FGP-305 should be at least 12 months. Check and replace all batteries annually. When the Transmitter or Wall Transmitter no longer operates the receiver from a distance it did previously (i.e., the transmitter’s range has decreased) or the remote receiver does not function at all, the batteries should be checked.
