NOTE
Notes on batteries O When replacing the batteries, use batteries of the same
type, and replace both old batteries together. O When the system is not used for a long time, take the
batteries out. O The batteries will last for approximately 1 year. However, if
the remote controller display begins to fade and degradation of reception performance occurs within a year, replace both batteries with new size AAA.LR03 (alkaline). O The attached batteries are provided for the initial use of the system. The usable period of the batteries may be short depending on the manufactured date of the air conditioner.
Notes on the remote controller O Never expose the remote controller to direct sunlight. O Dust on the signal transmitter or receiver will reduce the
sensitivity. Wipe off dust with soft cloth. O Signal communication may be disabled if an electronic-
starter-type nuorescent lamp (such as inverter-type lamps) is in the room. Consult the shop if that is the case. O If the remote controller signals happen to operate another appliance, move that appliance to somewhere else, or consult the service shop. O When the remote controller is not in use, please close the slide cover to prevent failure.

can be controlled from the remote controller.

O Handle the remote controller with care. Dropping it or getting it wet may compromise its signal transmission

capability.

O After new batteries are inserted into the remote controller, the unit will initially require approximately 10

seconds to respond to commands and operate.

O When remote controller is not in use for about 3 minutes during OFF condition, indicated by

on

the display, the LCD will turn off.

O During clock setting, the LCD will turn off about 10 minutes later if the remote controller is not in use.

O When pressing any button, the LCD will turn on.

O The LCD will not turn off during TIMER setting.

Signal Transmitting/Receiving Window Point this window towards the indoor unit when controlling it.
Sensor A temperature sensor inside the remote controller senses ambient temperature around the remotecontroller.
