HRC200 shows current temp

Is the Battery orientation proper or have you mistakenly inserted them the wrong way

I understand your frustration. Call 1 (888) 427-3973 if these do not work.

1) The on/off switch on the fireplace and/or wall may be in the on position. This will over ride the remote control feature.
2) The remote is in the thermostat mode (SMART-STAT and RCT-MLT models) and the temperature of the room has not exceeded the desired temperature setting by 2 degrees Fahrenheit or 1 degree Celsius.
3) Batteries in the hand-held transmitter are old and underpowered. May work up close and will not work a few feet away.
4) Hand-held transmitter is outside of the 25' of operation.
5) Hand-held transmitter has been dropped and the frequency has been moved off the frequency of the receiver.

I expect that since the unit reads the outside temperature from the remote thermostat, there is no need to "reset" the displayed number since this data is obtained live from the thermostat.

Check to make sure your thermostat is set at a temperature that will turn the fireplace "on".
Double-check what your "swing" temp settings are set at, as this may effect how quickly the unit shuts off because it thinks it's too close to the target temperature.

If your remote needs to be replaced, the 3301 is available here:
Skytech 3301 Fireplace Remote
If you are looking to replace it, I would also highly recommend looking at Skytech's new 3301P2 remote. It adds a programmable thermostat, and a much nicer back-lit LCD screen. This unit is available here:

Maybe check if the fans are coming on when the car is at operating temperature. Also, may need a flush and fill of the antifreeze, since it's about 7 years old.

Look for a tiny reset button in the area where you replaced the batteries. Very tiny button. Might need a pen point to press it.

This sounds like a problem with you thermostat not sensing the right temperature. You may need to replace it.

The remote works once the right room temperature is
sensed (66F) by the remote, This is a room temperature
triggered remote.However, if the thermostat at the
remote becomes defective, then there is no way that the remote will function. You have to do it manually.

That is a NONprogramable T-stat. There is no program to overide, therefore there is no need for a "hold" option. To set the temp, place the switch on the side marked

COOL
OFF
HEAT

to the desired setting, and push the up down arrows on the front until the display shows 80.

The DISPLAY will revert back to the current room temperature within a few seconds, and will keep the unit on until it reaches the desired temp.

The set temperature remains at 80, it just shows the current room temp.

To turn on the remote you must press the POWER and LOCK buttons together.
