TRANSMITTER SAFETY FEATURES
Itisrecommendedthat theTRANSMITTERSalwaysbe
locatedwithin a20foot operatingrange ofthefireplace,
preferablyin thesame roominwhich thefireplace sys-
tem is located. The TRANSMITTER features several
safetyfeaturesthatalertthe userwhentheTRANSMIT-
TERisplacedoutsidethe20footnormaloperatingrange.
Communication-SafetyFeatures
Thisremotecontrolhas aCOMMUNICATION-SAFETY
functionbuilt intoits software.Itprovides anextra mar-
ginofsafety whentheTRANSMITTERis outofthe nor-
mal 20 foot operating range of the receiver. It is also
activated when the batteries become weak or are re-
movedfromthetransmitter.
In the THERMO-UPDATING feature (only in the
THERMO or TIMER modes) the transmitter normally
readsthe ROOMtemperatureevery 2minutes. Inaddi-
tionto checkingthetemperature, thetransmittersends
a signal to the receiver indicating that the transmitter
and its batteries are still active.
IntheCOMMUNICATION-SAFETYfeature, atall times
andinall OPERATING MODESthetransmitter sendsa
signalevery fifteen(15)minutes tothereceiver,indicat-
ing that the transmitter is within the normal operating
rangeof 20feet.
ShouldthereceiverNOTreceiveatransmittersignalevery

CEIVER will begin a 2 HOUR (120 minute) countdown
timing function. If during this 2 hour period, the receiver
does not receive a signal from the transmitter, the RE-
CEIVER will shut down the fireplace being controlled by
the receiver. The RECEIVER will then emit a series of
rapid“beeps”.Then,after10rapid“beeps”,theRECEIVER
