What powers the remote control?

Both the transmitter and receiver in model SMART-BATT are powered by batteries. Models SMART-STAT, RCT-MLT, RC-100, RC-200, and RC-300 are powered by batteries in the hand-held transmitters. The receiver is plugged into the junction box located in the bottom of the fireplace (Note: this requires an electrical hookup by qualified electrician at time of fireplace installation).
