The FOLLOW ME function enables the remote control to measure the temperature
at its current location. When using AUTO, COOL, or HEAT functions, measuring
ambient temperature from the remote control (instead of from the indoor unit
it self) will enable the air conditioner to optimize the temperature around
you and ensure maximum comfort.
1. Press FOLLOW ME button to activate function. The remote control will send
temperature signal to the unit every three minutes.
2. Press FOLLOW ME button again to turn off this function.
SHORTCUT Function
Used to restore the current settings or resume previous settings.
Push this button when remote controller is on, the system will automatically
revert back to the previous settings including operating mode, setting
temperature, fan speed level and sleep feature (if activated).
By pressing for more than 2 seconds, the system will automatically restore the
current operation settings including operating mode, setting temperature, fan
speed level and sleep feature (if activated).

How to Stay Cool with a New Portable Air Conditioner
Because of a new federal test procedure for Portable Air Conditioners, you may
notice that the cooling capacity claims on portable air conditioner packaging
are significantly lower than that of models produced prior to 2017. This is
due to changes in the test procedure, not to the portable air conditioners
themselves.
What should I look for first when purchasing a portable air conditioner? The
right air conditioner helps you cool a room efficiently. An undersized unit
won’t cool adequately while one that’s too large will not remove enough
humidity, leaving the air feeling damp. To find the proper air conditioner,
determine the square footage of the room you want to cool by multiplying the
room length by its width. You also need to know the air conditioner’s BTU
(British Thermal Unit) rating, which indicates the amount of heat it can
remove from a room. A higher number means more cooling power for a larger
room. (Be sure you are comparing only newer models to each other- older models
may appear to have a higher capacity, but are actually the same). Be sure to
“size up” if your portable air conditioner will be placed in a very sunny
room, in a kitchen, or in a room with high ceilings. After you’ve found the
right cooling capacity or your room, you can look at other features.
Why is the cooling capacity lower on newer models than on older units? Federal
regulations require manufacturers to calculate cooling capacity based on a
specific test procedure. Models manufactured before 2017 were tested under a
different procedure and cooling capacity is measured differently than in prior
years’ models. So, while the BTUs may be lower, the actual cooling capacity of
the air conditioners has not changed.
What is SACC ? SACC is the representative value of Seasonally Adjusted Cooling
Capacity, in Btu/h, as determined in accordance with the DOE test procedure at
title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 430, subpart B, appendix CC and
applicable sampling plans.
