INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
This SKYTECH remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating
appliances. 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.
The transmitter operates on 2 AAA-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. Insert 2 AAA-size 1.5 V batteries into the battery compartment on the back
of the transmitter, positioning the (+) and (-) ends of the batteries as indicated on the casing.
When the batteries are inserted, the screen at right (with
similar numbers) will display.
Note:
If a LOW battery icon appears on the screen,
check the position of the batteries; a reversed battery
will activate the LOW battery icon.
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.
1. LOW
- Battery power is low. Replace batteries within two weeks.
2. TIMER-
