Low Battery Power Detection - Transmitter
The life span of the remote control batteries depends on various
factors: quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions of
the appliance, the number of changes to the room thermostat set
point, etc.
When the transmitter batteries are low, an Icon will appear on the
LCD display of the transmitter See Figure 29 before all battery pow-
er is lost. When the batteries are replaced this Icon will disappear.

Lockout State Denition
A lockout state is reached when an ignition error occurs. The
lockout state will remain set in memory as long as the power
supplies are applied.
This could mean both an irregular ame detection and/or too
many unsuccessful ignition attempts.
This state is a safe condition for the appliance and is entered
automatically by the IFC board.
When the IFC board gets into lockout state:
1. both the Pilot and the Main Burner solenoids in the gas valve
are de-energized;
2. a diagnostic code is sent through the diagnostic red LED.
3. the IFC board will ignore any burner ignition command and
remain in the OFF state unless the unlock command se-
quence is met.
The causes of lockout must be investigated under safe conditions
by the user and/or the service personnel.
To reset the IFC from a lockout state, perform the following pro-
cedure:
Turning the system power supplies (to the wall control or
remote control) OFF for two or three seconds and then
restoring a power supply back on.
The return of the system to normal operation must be checked
under safe conditions by the user and/or service personnel.
Using the Fireplace without a Remote Control
The replace can be turned ON (HI only) and OFF with the wall
switch. The replace ame ON/OFF is the only function that will
operate; no ame adjustment, light or blower will work when us-
ing the wall switch. The wall control switch should be turned OFF
when the replace is not being used for extended periods of time.
Battery Backup Operation
Install batteries (See initialization sequence on page 44). In case
of power loss, the replace will switch to battery mode automat-
ically. The replace will operate normally without the fan or light
control when in battery mode.
Low Battery Detection
When the backup batteries are low, a double-beep will be emitted
when the module receives an on/off command. No commands
will be accepted until the batteries are replaced or the A/C power
is restored.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
A. This appliance must be lighted with the remote control.
When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell around the appliance area for
gas. Be sure to smell next to the oor because some
gases are heavier than air and will settle on the oor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch.
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions. If you can not reach your gas
supplier, call the re department.
C. Use only the remote control to operate the valve. Never
use tools. If valve does not operate, don't try to repair it,
call a qualied service technician. Force or attempted
repair may result in a re or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been underwater.
Immediately call a qualied service technician to inspect
the appliance and to replace any part of the control system
and any gas control which has been underwater.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
