TROUBLE SHOOTING

If you encounter problems with your fireplace system, the problem may be with the fireplace itself or it could be with the SKYTECH remote.

Review the fireplace manufacturer’s operation manual to make sure all connections are properly made. Then check the operation of the

SKYTECH remote in the following manner:

• Make sure the batteries are correctly installed in the RECEIVER. One reversed battery will keep receiver from operating properly.

• Check battery in Transmitter to make sure contacts are touching (+) and (-) ends of battery. Bend metal contacts in for tighter fit.

• Be sure RECEIVER and Transmitter are within 20’-25’ operating range.

• Keep RECEIVER from temperatures exceeding 130 degrees F. Battery life decreased when ambient temperatures are above 130

degrees F.

•

If RECEIVER is installed in tightly enclosed metal surround, the operating distance will be shortened. Reposition RECEIVER into “free

air” space.

FREQUENCY (DISTANCE) ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE (Transmitter)

Due to handling/shipping of remote control, especially the TRANSMITTER, the TRANSMITTER

may require a frequency (distance) adjustment to return the normal operating distance of 20’-25’.

Follow instructions below to make the adjustment:

Check batteries level, replace batteries if low.

Remove the (2) screws holding the back panel on the TRANSMITTER and remove the back panel.

Using a small screwdriver, (eyeglass screwdriver works best) turn the adjustment screw clockwise,

no more than 1degree –2 degrees. Just a slight movement of this screw should improve the

operating distance. If turning clockwise does not fix the problem, return screw to original position

and turn 1 degree- 2 degrees counter-clockwise. This procedure is like tuning your radio, too

much adjustment will cause complete loss of frequency match between the transmitter and

receiver. You should not have to turn the adjustment screw more than 5 degrees, 1/8 turn, in

either direction to improve operating distance. Note: adjustment screw location.

3. Reinstall the TRANSMITTER back panel and reinstall the screws.
