version in the water heater:
BTurn power switch on the water
heater to the off position (O).
BWhen turning power switch to the
on position, note the first two letters
that appear on the display (should
be AF or SU).
BIf the letters are AF, follow
section 4.2.1.
For SU, follow section 4.2.2.

control (Fig. 12, pos. 3) for 3
seconds.
Fig. 12 Memorizing water
temperature
BOnly one temperature per remote
control can be memorized using the
"Program" button on the remote
control.
BAt this point the remote control will
display the memorized temperature .
When the hot water tap is turned on,
the water heater will supply hot
water at the temperature memorized
on the remote control.
Using the "Program" button
(operation with memorized
temperature)
To operate the equipment with a
previously memorized temperature:
BPress the "Program" button on the
remote control.
The remote control display and heater
display will now show the previously
memorized temperature. When the hot
water tap is turned on, the water heater
will supply hot water after a few
seconds, at the memorized
temperature.
i
Note: Previously saved
temperature may show
on the display when first
pushing the program
button. Once "PR"
shows on the display,
the desired setting will
be saved.
i
Up to six addition remote
controls can be used to
memorize a temperature
for each remote control.

6.4 "Priority" function
The remote control does not have a
default temperature setting and
therefore has no default "Priority"
function.The "priority" will be attributed
automatically by the first user who
selects or memorizes (on the remote
control or on the heater’s control
panel) a temperature for subsequent
use (e.g. a shower).
Then, when the hot water is used (e.g.
for a shower), the heater's display and
additional remote control displays will
show the symbol " ".
The temperature may only be modified
using the same buttons that set it
(depending on whether the control
panel or the remote control was used).
The priority device will not have the
symbol " ".
To clear a device that is locked out with
the " " symbol (with no hot water
running) simply:
Bpress and hold both the " " and
" " buttons on that device for 5
seconds.
The "Priority" function ends:
• 5 minutes after the last use of the
hot water (return to basic set up).
• 2 minutes after selecting/
memorizing the temperature if no hot
water is used immediately
afterwards.
Acquiring "priority”
Any user can acquire "priority" for
subsequent use of hot water, as
follows:
BMove the heater's main switch to the
ON position (I).
BPress and hold " " or " " to
select the desired temperature.
BPress and hold the "Program" but-
ton until the symbol "Pr" appears on
the remote control display.
BUse the hot water within two
minutes of acquiring "priority”.
i
Temperature cannot be
memorized or changed
using the heater's
control panel buttons or
a second remote control
when hot water is in use
(e.g. during a shower)
The "Priority" function
will automatically
activate to stop another
user from modifying the
temperature when hot
water is in use.

Troubleshooting
6 720 680 209
6.5 Error messages
This device has an error message
system. Any errors that the heater
generates will be indicated by an error
code that will appear on the display
(Fig. 10, pos. 1) and by a symbol
indicating a "safety block" (Fig. 10,
pos. 7). The remote control will be
operative only after pressing the reset
button on the heater and clearing the
error.
To identify the type of error or if the
error will not clear, consult the heater
installation manual.
7 Troubleshooting
7.1 Replacing batteries
When batteries are weak, the low
battery symbol (Fig. 10, pos. 5) will
appear on the display.
BRemove the two screws on the back
of the remote control.
BOpen the battery housing and
remove the batteries, then replace
with new AA 1.5V batteries,
ensuring they are inserted correctly.
BClose the battery housing using the
two screws.
7.2 Cleaning
Use a damp cloth to clean parts of the
remote control. Do not use abrasive or
solvent-based detergents.
7.3 Troubleshooting
1. No display on remote control
BCheck for weak or dead batteries
(see section 7.1).
Remote control in sleep mode.
i
"Priority" cannot be
acquired while the hot
water tap is open.
i
Verify that the rubber
seal is correctly fitted
between both plastic
housing parts.
Warning:
dead
batteries must be
replaced.
Consequently, the
manufacturer is not
liable for any faults or
damage caused by
dead batteries.
Dispose of the dead
batteries properly.

Troubleshooting
6 720 680 209
BSimply press any button on the
remote to bring up the display.
2. Remote control will not activate
/ no number with rotating digit
BEnsure that you are standing directly
in front of the water heater when
attempting to activate.
BEnsure that no other device in the
area, such as a cordless phone, is
operating on a frequency similar to
the remote (915 MHz) and causing
interference.
BDouble check all wire connections
made under section 4.1 or section
5.1 of the remote control manual.
Pay close attention to the wire con-
necting the remote's PCB to the
heater's main PCB.
3. Remote display shows "- -" only
BVerify the water heater's ON/OFF
switch is turned to the ON (I)
position. If the water heater's display
is still blank, verify the heater is
plugged into a live 120VAC/ 60Hz
properly grounded outlet.
BVerify there is proper voltage to the
water heater (120VAC/60Htz).
BVerify the remote is within the
maximum distance from the water
heater of 98 feet.
BEnsure that no other device in the
area, such as a cordless phone, is
operating on a frequency similar to
the remote (915 MHz) and causing
interference
4. Error code and “ ” symbol
will not clear from remote
B
Error codes cannot be reset by
using the remote. All errors must be
cleared by using the reset button
on the water heater's control
panel
i
If not used for a few
minutes, the remote's
display will go blank to
save the batteries.
i
Large amounts of metal
or concrete in the
structure may have a
blocking effect on the
remote's signal. This
may alter the maximum
distance allowable from
the water heater.
BMove within direct
line of sight of the
water heater to see if
signal will reconnect.

Troubleshooting
6 720 680 209
• If an error code is generated immedi-
ately after the installation of the
remote control transceiver PCB,
ensure that the two large electrical
connectors (Fig. ) on the main PCB
are properly seated.
• Error code may not be resettable.
Consult water heater's installation
manual or www.boschpro.com for
further troubleshooting on error
codes.
5. Remote will not memorize
desired temperature setting
BVerify that the remote control
"program" button is depressed until
the remote display reads "Pr".
6. Priority " " symbol will not
clear
BVerify no hot water is being used
when trying to clear "priority"
function.
BWith no hot water running, press
and hold the “ ” or “ ”
buttons for 5 seconds on the locked
out device (remote or water heater)
until the " " symbol (Fig. 10,
Pos. 6) disappears.
BDo not use any hot water for at least
5 minutes. The priority function
should automatically clear after this
time period.
i
Memorization of a
selected temperature
only saves to the device
on which it was originally
programmed. To
retrieve a memorized
temperature setting, you
must use the device with
which it was
programmed.
