• The WLAN adapter is not a USB device. Do not connect to other than specifi ed equipment. Otherwise, there is a risk of malfunction or fi re.
• When you use the WLAN control, it will become possible to operate the air conditioner from locations where you cannot see it directly. This means that people in the room may be exposed to the unintended operation of the air conditioner. Check the condition of the room before using the WLAN control.
• Be sure to check regularly that dust has not built up around the connection slot of the air conditioner for the WLAN adapter.
• Be sure to check in advance that there are no malfunctions of the air conditioner.
• Make sure that the airfl ow from the air conditioner will not cause any adverse eff ects.
• Objects may fall down causing personal injury, fi re, or damage to property.
• If you know that there are people in the vicinity of the air conditioner, inform them in advance that you will operate it from a distant location.
• Sudden operation of the air conditioner may surprise a person and cause the person to fall down or tumble if the person is on a step, ladder, etc. Furthermore, rapid changes of the room temperature may cause deterioration in a person’s physical condition. Do not use the WLAN control when there are people in the room who are not able to control the temperature by themselves (For example, infants, children, those with physical disabilities, elderly or sick persons.).
• Fully understand the reserved timer settings and other operations before using the WLAN control.
• Unexpected operation of the air conditioner may cause deterioration in a person’s physical condition or an adverse eff ect on animals or plants.
• Frequently check the settings and operating situation of the air conditioner when using the WLAN control from a distant location.
• Rapid changes of the room temperature may cause deterioration in a person’s physical condition or an adverse eff ect on animals or plants.
• If you operate the air conditioner by the WLAN control, the indicator lamps and reception sounds of the air conditioner do not work.
• If there is bad reception between the WLAN adapter and the access point, adjusting the access point position or direction of the antenna may improve the reception. It may also be possible to improve reception by moving the access point closer to the WLAN adapter or using a wireless LAN repeater.

Radio wave and security precautions
When you use a wireless LAN, there are precautions that you must follow in relation to radio waves, personal information, and so on. To use the WLAN control correctly, be sure to read the following precautions and the operation manual of the wireless LAN equipment you are using. We will assume no responsibility, unless legal liability is recognized, in regards to failures, other defects and damages incurred by use of the WLAN adapter that occur through incorrect use or during use by yourself or a third party.

  (Radio waves may not reach depending on the environment.)

Personal Information (Security-related) Usage Precautions

• There is a possibility of interception if you use wireless LAN equipment due to the use of radio waves regardless of whether you use encryption or not.
• Wireless LAN uses radio waves to exchange information between the WLAN adapter and the access point. This means it has the advantage of freely being able to make a LAN connection if within reach of radio waves. On the other hand, if the radio waves are within a certain range, they will reach all locations beyond obstacles (e.g., walls). Therefore, it is possible your communications may be intercepted and read or illegally intruded upon.
• Do not connect to equipment and networks which you are not authorized to use when setting up your wireless connection.
• Initialize the settings of the WLAN adapter when disposing of it or transferring it to a third party.

Others

• Use the WLAN adapter as regular wireless LAN equipment.
• Do not use the WLAN adapter in hospitals or in/near locations with medical equipment.
• Do not use the WLAN adapter within an aircraft.

SETTINGS ON INSTALLATION

Remote controller custom code setting
By setting custom codes of the indoor unit and the remote controller, you can specify the air conditioner which the remote controller controls. When two or more air conditioners are in the room and you wish to operate them separately, set the custom code (4 selections possible).
NOTE: If custom codes are diff erent between the indoor unit, and the remote controller, the indoor unit cannot receive a signal from the remote controller.

How to set the remote controller custom code

• To change the air conditioner custom code, contact authorized service personnel (initially set to A).
• If you do not press any buttons for 30 seconds after the custom code is displayed, the display returns to the clock display. In this case, repeat the setting from step 2.
• Depending on the remote controller, the custom code may return to A when replacing the batteries. In this case, reset the custom code as necessary. If you do not know the air conditioner custom code, try each code until you fi nd the code which operates the air conditioner.

CLEANING AND CARE

GENERAL INFORMATION

Heating performance
This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump principle, absorbing heat from the air outdoors and transferring that heat to the indoor unit. As a result, the operating performance is reduced as outdoor air temperature drops. If you feel that the heating performance is insufficient, we recommend you to use this air conditioner in conjunction with other kinds of heating appliances.

Automatic defrosting operation
When the outdoor temperature is very low with high humidity, frost may form on the outdoor unit during the heating operation, and it could reduce the operating performance of the product. For frost protection, an automatic defrost function is equipped in this air conditioner. If frost forms, the air conditioner will temporarily stop, and defrost circuit will operate briefly (maximum of 15 minutes.) [ ] indicator on the indoor unit blinks during this operation. If frost forms on the outdoor unit after the Heating operation, the outdoor unit will stop automatically after it operates for a few minutes. Then the Automatic defrosting operation starts.

Auto-restart function
In the event of a power interruption, such as a blackout, the air conditioner stops once. But it restarts automatically and performs the previous operation when the power supply is resumed. If any power interruption occurs after the timer is set, the counting down of the timer will be reset. After the power supply is resumed, [ ] indicator on the indoor unit blinks to notify you that there has been a timer fault. In such a case, reset the clock and timer settings.

Malfunctions caused by other electrical devices
Use of other electrical appliances, such as an electric shaver or nearby use of a wireless radio transmitter, may cause the malfunction of the air conditioner. If you encounter such a malfunction, turn off the circuit breaker once. Then turn it on again, and resume operation by the remote controller.

Indoor unit temperature and humidity range
Permissible ranges of temperature and humidity are as follows:

• If the air conditioner is used continuously for many hours, water may condense on the surface and drip.
• If the unit is operated under conditions except for the permissible temperature range, the air conditioner operation may stop because of the automatic protection circuit working.
• Depending on the operating conditions, the heat exchanger may freeze, causing water leakage or other malfunction (in the Cooling or Dry mode).

Other information

• Do not use the air conditioner for any purpose other than room cooling/dry, room heating, or fan.

OPTIONAL PARTS

Wired remote controller
The optional wired remote controller can be used. You can use wired and wireless remote controllers together. However, some functions of the wireless remote controller are restricted.
If you set the restricted functions, beeps will be heard, and  [ ], [ ][ ] and [ ] indicator lamps on the indoor unit will blink.
