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-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.
WALL MOUNT THERMOSTAT
The wall/transmitter operates on (2) 3V Button Cell (Included) which powers the LCD screen and
powers the RF signal. These batteries are made specifically for remote controls and electronic
lighters. Before using the transmitter the 3V batteries must be installed into the battery
compartments.
It is recommended that CR2032 lithium batteries always be used for longer battery life and
maximum operational performance.
Upon initial use, there may be a delay of five seconds before the remote receiver will respond to
the transmitter. This is part of the system’s design. If the LCD screen will not come on, check the
3V Button Cell battery.
