Operation using Battery Power
This fireplace has an optional battery operation. The sys-
tem is fully functional with the use of two “D” size batteries
without ordinary 110-120 VAC power.
Wiring to the battery pack should be left disconnected in
order to conserve battery life. In the case of a loss of power,
simply connect red and black wire leads to activate battery
power (connect red to red, black to black). The fireplace
can be used as necessary. Once power (110 VAC) is re-
stored, disconnect red and black wire leads to extend bat-
tery life.
