Troubleshooting and Cautions

General Cautions for Remote Control Use

• Obstructions: The air conditioner will not operate if curtains, doors, or other objects block the signals from the remote control to the indoor unit.
• Liquid Spills: Be careful that liquids do not spill onto the remote control.
• Direct Sunlight/Heat: Do not expose the remote control to direct sunlight or heat.
• Infrared Receiver: If the infrared signal receiver on the indoor unit is exposed to direct sunlight, the air conditioner may not function properly. Use curtains to prevent sunlight from reaching the receiver.
• Signal Interference: Signals may not be properly received if the room using the air conditioner has fluorescent lighting with electronic starters. If you are planning on using fluorescent lamps, consult your local dealer.
• Other Appliances: If other electrical appliances are activated by the remote control, move these appliances or consult your local dealer.

Location of the Remote Control

• Signal Range: Keep the remote control where its signals can reach the receiver of the indoor unit (a distance of up to 7 m is allowed).
• Timer Operation: When you select timer operation, the remote control automatically transmits a signal to the indoor unit at the specified time. If you keep the remote control in a location where proper signal transmission is blocked, a time lag of up to 15 minutes may occur.
