CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” – (CP)
This SKYTECH remote control includes a CHILDPROOF “LOCK-OUT” feature that allows the user to “LOCK-OUT”
operation of the appliance, from the TRANSMITTER.
SETTING “LOCK-OUT” – (CP)
1. To activate the “LOCK-OUT” feature, press and hold the UP
and TIMER/TIME buttons, together, for 5 seconds. The letters
CP will appear in TEMP frame on the LCD screen (Fig. 21).
2. To disengage the “LOCK-OUT”, press and hold the UP and
TIMER buttons, together for 5 seconds or more, and the
letters CP will disappear from the LCD screen and the
transmitter will return to its normal operating condition.
NOTE: If the appliance is already operating in the ON or
THERMO MODES, engaging the “LOCK-OUT” will not cancel the operating MODE. Engaging the “LOCK-OUT” prevents
only the manual operation of the TRANSMITTER. If in the auto modes, the THERMO operation will continue to operate
normally. To totally “LOCK-OUT” the operation of the
TRANSMITTER’S operating signals; the transmitter’s MODE must be set to OFF.

BATTERY LIFE
Life expectancy of alkaline batteries should be at least 12-months. Check and replace all batteries annually. When the
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. It is important that the remote receiver
batteries are fully charged, providing a combined output voltage of at least 5.3 volts. The length of the wire between the
remote receiver and the gas valve directly affects the operating performance of the remote system. The longer the wire,
the more battery power is required to deliver signals between the remote receiver and the gas valve. The Transmitter
should operate with as little as 2.5 volts of battery power, measuring at the (2) 1.5-volt batteries.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Should you encounter problems with your replace system, the problem may be with the replace itself or it could be with
the SKYTECH remote control. Review the replace manufacturer’s operation manual to make sure all connections are
properly made. Then check the operation of the SKYTECH remote in the following manner:
1. Make sure receiver batteries are installed properly. If one battery is installed backward, receiver will not operate in
remote mode. Be sure battery output is 2.5 volts or more. (Slide switch is independent of battery condition.)
2. Be sure the transmitter’s batteries are properly installed and that the battery output is 2.5 V or more.
3. Check to make sure the transmitter is communicating with the receiver.
• If the receiver beeps when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitter they are communicating.
Note: The receiver only beeps in ON & OFF modes. No beeping occures from ON to Thermo mode.
• If the receiver does not beep when the MODE button is depressed on the transmitter, you will need to “learn”
(teach) the receiver the code of the transmitter. See page 5 Learning Transmitter to Receiver section.
4. Make sure the transmitter is within the 15 to 20-foot range of the receiver.
5. Positioning of the receiver is important. If the receiver is “enclosed” in a metal surround, the operation of the
receiver may be affected as noted below. Reposition the receiver to improve operating range. It is suggested that a
heat shield be installed to protect the receiver from extreme heat. If the receiver is “enclosed” in a metal surround, this
can:
• Cause the RF signal to get lost and not communicate with the receiver.
• Cause the working distance to be shorter than normal.
