Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Skytech 9800325 SKY-3301P2 remote control system. This system is designed to offer safe, reliable, and user-friendly control for gas heating appliances. It supports both thermostatic and manual operation from the transmitter.
The system utilizes radio frequencies (RF) for communication within a 20-foot range, employing non-directional signals. Each system operates on one of 1,048,567 security codes, pre-programmed at the factory. It is essential to match the remote receiver's code to that of the transmitter before initial use.

Setup and Installation
1. Battery Installation
Transmitter: Open the battery compartment on the back of the transmitter and insert two (2) AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.
Receiver: Open the battery compartment on the receiver unit and insert four (4) AA batteries, observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.
2. Receiver Placement and Wiring
The receiver can be installed in the wall, on the hearth, or under the fireplace behind the control access panel. Ensure the receiver is placed in a location that allows for proper signal reception from the transmitter and is not exposed to excessive heat.
Connect the two wires from the receiver to the appropriate terminals on your gas heating appliance's control valve. Refer to your appliance's manual for specific wiring instructions. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.

3. Matching Security Codes (Learning Function)
The transmitter and receiver are factory-matched. However, if they lose synchronization or if you are replacing a component, you may need to re-match them:
- Ensure batteries are installed in both the transmitter and receiver.
- Locate the 'LEARN' button on the receiver unit.
- Press and hold the 'LEARN' button on the receiver until you hear a series of beeps (approximately 1-2 seconds).
- Within 10 seconds, press any button on the transmitter. The receiver will emit another series of beeps, confirming that the codes have been matched.
If the matching process fails, repeat the steps. Ensure the transmitter is within 20 feet of the receiver during this process.

For normal operation with the remote control, ensure the receiver switch is set to REMOTE.
Operating Modes
Press the MODE button on the transmitter to cycle through the following modes:
- ON: The appliance will turn on and remain on until switched off.
- THERMO: The appliance will operate based on the set temperature. When the room temperature falls below the set temperature, the appliance will turn on. When the room temperature rises above the set temperature, the appliance will turn off.
- OFF: The appliance will remain off.
- PROGRAM: The appliance will follow the programmed schedule for temperature control.
Setting the Temperature (THERMO Mode)
- Press the MODE button until "THERMO" is displayed on the LCD.
- Use the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the desired set temperature. The display will show both the current room temperature and the set temperature.
Programming a Schedule (PROGRAM Mode)
The 3301P2 allows for programmable temperature settings. Lift the flip cover on the transmitter to access the PROG and SET buttons.
- Press the MODE button until "PROGRAM" is displayed on the LCD.
- Press the PROG button to enter programming mode.
- Use the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the time and temperature settings for each program period (P1, P2).
- Press SET to confirm each setting and move to the next.
- The system typically allows for two program periods (P1 for morning/day, P2 for evening/night) with separate ON/OFF times and temperatures. Consult the detailed instructions provided with the product for specific programming steps, as these can be intricate.
Note: The programming interface may require careful attention to detail. If you encounter difficulties, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact support.
