Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper use and maintenance of your Easytry123 replacement infrared remote control, model Easytry1406. This remote is designed as a direct replacement for various Fujitsu Room Air Conditioner models, including AST12ASJCW, AST12LSACW, AR-JE4, AR-WS, ASYG12LLCA, AST9ASJCW, AST9LSACW, AST12USACW, and AST9FMBD.
It is crucial to ensure that your original remote control visually matches the replacement remote shown in this manual for full compatibility. While designed as a replacement, some advanced functions present on your original remote may not be fully replicated. This remote operates using infrared technology.
Setup
Battery Installation
The remote control requires two (2) AAA batteries for operation. Please follow the steps below to install the batteries correctly:
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
- Slide the battery compartment cover downwards or in the direction indicated by an arrow to open it.
- Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring that the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the markings inside the compartment. Incorrect battery polarity can prevent the remote from functioning.
- Close the battery compartment cover by sliding it back into place until it clicks securely.
Important: Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix different types of batteries (e.g., alkaline and rechargeable) together. Remove batteries if the remote control will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
