Before performing any of the steps mentioned in this article:
- Make sure your fireplace has been off for at least 30 minutes.
- Be in the same room as your hearth product.
- Have a set of new, name-brand Alkaline batteries ready.
If the remote screen is off, blank, and does not respond to touch inputs:

Install name-brand, non-expired Alkaline Batteries (i.e. Duracell, Energizer).
If remote screen is on with menu, but does not respond to touch input:
