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 manually from the transmitter. The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within
a 20-foot 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 4 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 4 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: On initial start up 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.
