Air Conditioner
The power requirements of the portable air conditioner are 110V/ 60Hz, AC only. It’s equipped with a built-in power connector to plug directly into a standard 110V AC outlet.

NOTE : The aforementioned power station, solar panel charger, and portable fuel generator are NOT included in this package.

Remote Control
The remote controller is powered by two AAA batteries (not included). Press against the compartment cover and slide it downward to remove.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

This portable air conditioner is designed to function straight out of the box, without the troublesome installation process of traditional AC units. Simply connect it to power, and it will start cooling down the space. However, for optimal performance, please follow the instructions below to properly position the device and attach the exhaust hose.

Attaching exhaust hoses

1. Attach the provided dual duct connectors to the Duct Connector Mount on the two sides of the AC unit, and secure them with the included screws and screwdriver. Press firmly on all corners to ensure they are tightly secured.
2. Extend the exhaust hose and hold it in alignment with a duct connector. Then, rotate the exhaust hose clockwise until it is securely mounted onto the duct connector.
3. Unfold the exhaust hose to your preferred length.
   Note : Three pieces of exhaust hoses are included in the package. You can attach them to the cool air outlet or warm air outlet as needed.

Positioning the AC unit
The portable air conditioner can be used in various spaces to create a comfortable environment. Since one side of the AC outlet emits cool air (marked with the [#*] symbol) while the other side expels warm air (marked with the |] symbol), it’s important to position the exhaust hoses correctly to achieve the most eficient cooling effect.

AC unit placed inside a tent

1. Position it in a tent with the cool air outlet facing inward;
2. Connect exhaust hose(s) to the warm air outlet, directing them outside the tent through a suitable opening or flap.

AC unit placed outside a tent

• Place the unit with the warm air outlet facing away from the tent;
• Attach exhaust hoses to cool air outlet and direct cooling air into the tent through suitable opening or flap.

AC unit placed indoors or in an RV

• Connect two exhaust hoses to the warm air outlet of the AC unit and extend them to the proper length.
• Guide the hose through your window to direct warm air out of the room.

Connecting to a drain hose
In most cases, the portable air conditioner doesn’t need a drain hose attached. Just ensure that the Auto Drain is activated and the drain plug is in place. If you want to dehumidify the space, switch to Dry mode and connect the unit to a drain hose.

Mounting the remote on the AC unit

1. Ensure the unit surface is smooth and dry, free from dust or debris.
2. Peel off the protective backing from one side of the included 3M double-sided tape, and apply the tape to the matching position on the back of the mount holder, ensuring they are firmly attached.
3. Peel off the other side of the tape backing, and press the entire mount holder firmly against your desired spot on the unit surface.
4. Let the 3M tape set and bond with the air conditioner surface for about 24 hours until it’s securely in place. Then, you can place the remote control into the mount holder.

Features

Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion
The temperature setting on the air conditioner is initially configured in Celsius by default. To convert it to Fahrenheit, press and hold the 101 and 101 buttons on the AC unit simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Please be aware that this conversion is only applicable in Cool and Sleep modes. Furthermore, it is not possible to switch the scale of temperature using the remote control.

24-Hour Timer
Use the timer to schedule your air conditioner to automatically turn on or off within a maximum duration of 24 hours. It helps conserve energy and prevent feeling too cold at night during sleep.
Please note that the 24-hour timer is for one-time operation only; it cannot be set to repeat. You’ll need to manually set the timer each time for the same duration.

Automatic Screen Lock
After 60 seconds of inactivity on the control panel, it will automatically lock, rendering buttons unresponsive.
To unlock the control panel, press and hold the [MODE] button for 3 seconds. Alternatively, you may use the remote control to operate the AC unit, and the panel will unlock automatically.

Four Modes Available
This portable tent air conditioner offers 4 modes to customize your space comfort to your preference. The flexible four-in-one design allows you to enjoy all the fun of outdoor adventures in a much more comfortable way.

Child Lock Protection
The integrated child lock design keeps children from tempering with the AC unit, reducing the risks of accidents at the presence of children. Hold down the [MODE] button for 3 seconds to enable child lock protection. To disable the child lock, simply repeat the process.

Power-off Memory Function
The convenient power-off memory function allows the air conditioner to operate seamlessly after unexpected power failure.
In the event of an unexpected power failure or the need to terminate the device during a program cycle, it will autonomously preserve the current settings and resume operation upon being powered on again.

FUNCTION OVERVIEW
However, if the air conditioner is manually turned off or switched off on a timer, it will not restore the previous settings upon re-connection. Instead, it will solely transition to standby mode upon being re-plugged.

Auto Drain
The AC unit functions by circulating refrigerant through a closed system to remove heat and humidity from indoor air, during which moisture will accumulate inside the device. The THG45A offers the Auto Drain function to automatically vaporize and expel the collected condensation water through exhaust hoses. No drain hose connection is required.
In instances where the Dry Mode is selected to dehumidify the space, or in conditions of excessive humidity, you can deactivate Auto Drain and connect the drain hose to the drain port to prevent water overflow.
