BATTERY NOTES
For optimum product performance:

• Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types.
• Do not leave batteries in the remote control if you don’t plan on using the device for more than 2 months.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.

BATTERY DISPOSAL
Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment Disposal Guideline

• Do not dispose of the waste of electrical & electronic equipment with local council waste. These must be disposed of through the council-designated hazardous waste collection center.
• The equipment may contain hazardous substances, and improper or incorrect disposal may have a negative effect on human health and on the environment.
• Remove batteries and separated them from the rest of the product before disposing of them.

NOTES
Pressing the  button or changing the mode or adjusting the set temperature to less than 24 o C will cancel ECO Operation.
Once ECO is activated Fan can be adjusted and ECOwill be displayed on the LED.
GEAR Function
Gear mode is a setting that can limit the energy consumption output of the air conditioner if the end user desires a reduction in their overall system energy usage.
This will impact performance in some conditions.
Press the  button to enter the following:
75%(up to 75% electrical energy consumption)

50%(up to 50% electrical energy consumption)

Previous setting mode.

06.08. Proximity Sensor
