depending how long the thermostat programmer lights were flashing low battery before you noticed   programmer may now not be in sync with the boiler , somewhere close to the boiler will be the receiver box  when the boiler is in use and in sync with the room thermostat you will have a GREEN LIGHT ON if communication between the 2 is lost through batteries run down, you will get a RED LIGHT
the 2 articles (transmitter room stat,and boiler receiver ) need to be re programed so they COMMUNICATE with each other. in the book this is called BONDING.  The FLASHING  radiator symbol means the boiler is anti cycling
