Slide Switch:

    1.     With the slide switch in the ON position, the system will remain on until the slide switch is placed in the
           OFF or RS position.
    2.      With the slide switch in the RS position (centered), the system will only operate if the remote receiver
           receives signal from the transmitter.
    3.     With the slide switch in the OFF position, the system is off. It is suggested that the slide switch be placed
           in the OFF position if you will be away for an extended period of time. Ifthe remote receiver is mounted
           out of children‘s reach, placing the slide switch in the OFF position also functions as a safety device by
           both turning the system off and rendering the transmitter inoperable.

                              TESTING YOUR NEW REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM

    1.     Connect the wiring terminal to the appliance. Refer to the appropriate Homeowner‘s Manual for proper
           wiring connections to the appliance.
    2.     Light your gas appliance following the lighting instructions that came with the appliance. Confirm that the
           pilot light is on; it must be in operation for the remote control to operate the main gas valve. Control knob
           found on the appliance must be in the ON position. ON/OFF switch found on the appliance must be in
           OFF position.
