Inserting Batteries in the Remote Control Receiver

To ensure proper operation, begin by inserting alkaline batteries into both the remote control receiver and the handset. Locate the receiver near the control valve and open the battery compartment. Carefully place the batteries, making sure they are securely seated and properly aligned with the terminals. Replace the compartment cover tightly to avoid any obstructions. Similarly, insert fresh alkaline batteries into the remote control handset, following the same alignment and securement steps. Avoid using damaged or low-power batteries, as this may affect performance. Once the batteries are installed, the system is ready for synchronization. This step is crucial for initial setup and ensures that the remote control functions correctly with the fireplace system.

Synchronizing the Remote Control Handset and Receiver

To synchronize the remote control handset and receiver, start by ensuring both devices are powered on. Locate the ON-OFF button on the receiver and press and hold it until the fireplace and pilot flame shut off. This step prepares the system for synchronization. Next, press and hold both the high flame and timer buttons on the remote control handset simultaneously for approximately 3-5 seconds. You will hear a beep, indicating successful synchronization. Once synchronized, the remote control will communicate with the receiver, allowing you to control the fireplace and its features seamlessly. If synchronization fails, repeat the process, ensuring the buttons are pressed firmly and held for the full duration. Proper synchronization is essential for the remote control to function correctly and control the fireplace’s operations effectively. After successful synchronization, test the remote by adjusting the flame or lighting to confirm it is working as expected.
