Information Bar The information bar shows the room temperature, the “sending signal” radio icon, the low battery indication icon, the child-proof icon, and the flame icon. This area doesn’t have touch buttons. The room temperature will always be shown after power-up. It displays the room temperature from 40 °F to 99 °F. “Lo” and “HI” will be displayed when the room temperature is lower than 40°F or higher than 99°F, respectively. The radio icon will be shown when the transmitter is sending a signal. The low battery indication icon will be shown when the battery voltage is low. The child-proof icon will be shown when the childproof mode is activated. The flame icon indicates the current flame height – Off, Low, medium, and High. Touch Area The touch area contains all touch buttons to control the transmitter. It consists of two categories: menus and adjustment arrows. The blue LED backlight lights up for 8 seconds when any of the touch buttons is pressed. The menus include TIMER, THERMO, LIGHT, FAN, and AUX. The adjustment arrows include ON/up and OFF/down. Their default function is to adjust the flame height. When a button from the menu is pressed, the ON/up and OFF/down buttons will temporarily become adjustment controls for the selected item. When the adjustment is done, the ON/up and OFF/down buttons go back to flame height controller again. Logo Bar The Logo Bar contains the brand logo: Signature Command System. WARNING Important Safety Information • • • Read this manual thoroughly prior to programming or operating any remote control. This remote control system requires Four (4) “AAA” alkaline batteries to power the transmitter. This remote control system should only be used as described in this manual. Any other use is not recommended and will void the warranty. Touch Screen Full Function Signature Command Operating Instructions Page: 2 MHSC NOTE Due to the sensitive temperature monitoring components in the transmitter, it is necessary to allow the transmitter to stabilize to room temperature before accurate room temperatures are displayed. If the transmitter is activated from a severe cold condition, allow 15 minutes for accurate temperature readings to appear on the LCD display. WARNING Touch Screen Full Function Signature Command Operating Instructions Turn appliance OFF (at the Master Switch) if you are away from your house for an extended period of time. Never leave anything on top of the surface of the transmitter.
