RF Error on remote and CH turns itself on

[snaw]

Hi Guys,

Wondering if anyone can give me some advice.

Got a vailant combi boiler (Not sure model - pretty new, been in two years but it's stuck up in loft and a pain to get to, got stuff up there I'd need to shift), which is controlled by a remote.

Of late it's turned itself on (CH has been on off for summer). When this happens I notice I also get a RF error on the remote. Guessing it's a communication error with boiler, and it turns on by default?

Anyone confirm this, and offer suggestions, or what else it could be?

Thanks,

John

Fit new batteries RF = radio frequency eg. lack of/not powerfull enough...just guessing here batteries aren`t much £......Now tell me it`s a mains powered remote

It's battery powered.

Actually last night when I was messing with the timers (Setting them on again for winter) a battery message popped up for the 1st time. COuld it have been low before but not low enough for an alert, and also that would cause a weaker signal?

I`m outa my depth M8 But I`ve started a hobby with old electronics - glowing valves etc. so I pick up a bit of knowledge. Just got to watch those 500volts DC Gotta be worth changing the batteries tho`. You can always use them in another remote
