TransmitterInstalling Batteries:
The remote transmitter uses two (2) “AAA” batteries. To install batteries,

1.  Press down the battery door and remove the battery door.
2.  Install uses two (2) “AAA” batteries as indicated on the transmitter.
3.  Close the battery door by snapping in place.
4.  The batteries should be replaced when the battery indicator flashes.
5.  When both batteries are installed, the transmitter will initialize for 10 seconds and then is ready for use.

Setting Privacy (DIP) Switch on Receiver and Transmitter:
The remote receiver and transmitter privacy (DIP) switches are preset at the factory. In the event of activation or interference from other nearby transmissions, reset the code using the following procedure:

1.  Slide the code switches on the transmitter or receiver to your choice of ON or OFF position. Switches #1, #2, #3 and #4 are preset to “ON” for both the transmitter and receiver.
2.  The switches on the transmitter and receiver must match in order for the system to work.
3.  To check, touch either the On or Off button on the transmitter and the receiver indicator light will blink. If not repeat step 2.
4.  The system is now ready to operate

Reset Button:

WARNING
Do not use two (2) or more remote control systems in the same area with the same dip switch settings, as they will communicate with each other. This may cause the appliances to malfunction.

OPERATIONS

General
The RCB07 Remote Control has two (2) operating modes: Manual and Thermostatic. The control system can be set to temperature ranges between 45°F and 90°F.The transmitter will operate the remote receiver from 1 foot to a maximum of 30 feet. The distance is reduced when batteries are low or when the receiver is inside a metal enclosure.

Initial startup:

1.  After initial power-up or when the RESET button is pressed, the transmitter is reset. The reset button is located close the battery door.
2.  During the system reset, all features of the LCD will be visible. After one second, the LCD will be initialized. A typical reset display is shown right. After reset the transmitter is operating. The room temperature is shown as right.

Manual Mode:

1. Press the button once to turn on the appliance.
2. Press the button once again to turn off the appliance.
3.  Press the °C/°F button to select between °C and °F display.

Thermostatic mode:

1. Press the AUTO button to enter the thermostatic mode. “SET” temp icon will appear on the lower LCD screen
2. In thermostatic mode, press the button or button to set the desired set temperature.
3.  Once the setting is completed, the transmitter will automatically turn on the fireplace when the room temperature is below the set temperature and turn off the appliance when the room temperature is above the set temperature within 1 degree.
4.  There will be a slight delay in the response of the unit (on/off) to a temperature. Room temperature is monitored every 3 minutes.
5.  Press the Auto button again to exit the thermostatic mode (Return to Manual Mode). The “SET” temp icon will disappear on the lower LCD display. The transmitter will be in the manual on/off mode

Backlight
The backlight color will change according to the current temperature range. If the room temperature is over 78℉(26℃) , then the backlight will be Red. If room temperature is less than 61℉(16℃) , the backlight will be Green. The backlight will be Blue if the room temperature is between 61-78℉(16-26℃) .When any key is pressed the backlight will turn on for 6 seconds and then turn off.

Low-battery detection:

2.  The transmitter will not function until the room temperature has dropped below 99 degree Fahrenheit.
3.  If the transmitter measures a room temperature less than 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the LCD will display “LO” and NO SIGNAL will be send to turn on the appliance.

Receiver

Slide Switch:

1.  ON position: the system will remain on until the slide switch is placed in the OFF or RS position.
2.  RS position: the system will only operate if the remote receiver receives a signal from the transmitter.
3.  OFF position, the system is off. The slide switch should be placed in the OFF position if you will be away for an extended period of time. If the remote receiver is mounted out of children’s reach, the OFF position also functions as a safety device by both turning the system off and rendering the receiver inoperable.
