ITEM	DESCRIPTION
1	ON button
2	OFF button
3	Light Emitting Diode (LED) operation indicator
4	Antenna

NOTE: Avoid touching the antenna when operating the ON or OFF switch. Covering the antenna will have an adverse effect on the transmitting range.

The Fuel Fired Booster Heater (FFBH) remote control enables the timed climate control program to be activated and deactivated from outside the vehicle. The remote control has an approximate range of 100 m (328 ft). There is no need to point the remote control at the vehicle. Press and hold the ON button for approximately 2 seconds. The Light Emitting Diode (LED) illuminates green to confirm that a timed climate program has been initiated. The LED continues to flash for a few seconds to indicate that the timed climate is active.

The timed climate program continues for 20-30 minutes, after which it switches off automatically to prevent the vehicle battery from discharging. It also turns off automatically if the engine is started.

The LED indicator signals various states and conditions for the timed climate as follows:

Illuminates green when the ON button is pressed and then quickly flashes green, to indicate that heater operation has been requested.
Illuminates green followed by red when the OFF button is pressed, to indicate that the heater has been requested to shut down.
Illuminates green and then quickly flashes red when either the ON or OFF button is pressed, to indicate that there is no communication with the receiver. This normally occurs if the vehicle is too far away.
Illuminates green and then slowly flashes red when either the ON or OFF button is pressed, to indicate that there is an error.
Flashes red when either the ON or OFF button is pressed, to indicate that the timed climate remote battery needs replacing.

NOTE: The timed climate control program will only operate once per engine start to maintain battery condition.

Fuel Fired Booster Heater Remote Control Pairing

Each Fuel Fired Booster Heater (FFBH) remote control must be 'paired' to the FFBH receiver to enable communications. Each remote control has a unique identification number which is stored by the receiver. The receiver can store up to 4 remote control identification numbers. If a fifth remote control is paired to the receiver, the receiver will overwrite the first paired remote control number.

Pair a remote control to the vehicle, as follows:

Remove fuse PF17 (5A) from the Passenger Junction Box (PJB).
Wait for a minimum of 5 seconds.
Replace fuse PF17 (5A) in the PJB then, within 5 seconds, press and hold the remote control OFF switch.
A successful pairing is indicated by the remote control Light Emitting Diode (LED) illuminating red for 2 seconds.

NOTE: The pairing process relies on the Fuel Fired Booster Heater (FFBH) receiver having the power supply removed and then the power supply re-instated. The fuse method is the easiest method but it can also be achieved by startup battery disconnection or removal of the harness connector from the FFBH receiver.
