If automatic search is unsuccessful or you know the specific code for your Mitsubishi unit, you can input it manually.

3. Press and hold the 'Set' button for approximately 6 seconds until the code in the window flickers.
4. Use the temperature up/down buttons (▲/▼) to adjust the code until the desired code appears.

6. Test the remote control functions. If not working correctly, repeat steps 2-3 with a different code.
