4.2 Code Setting for Your Air Conditioner
The remote control needs to be programmed with the correct code for your specific air conditioner brand. There are two methods: Manual Input and Automatic Search.
4.2.1 Manual Code Input
This method involves entering a specific code for your air conditioner brand. Refer to the code list (usually provided with the physical product, not available in this digital manual) for your brand's code.
- Ensure your air conditioner is plugged in but powered OFF.
- Point the remote control towards the air conditioner.
- Press and hold the SET button for approximately three seconds until the code number on the remote's display starts flashing.
- Use the TEMP+ (up arrow) or TEMP- (down arrow) buttons to cycle through the codes. As you cycle, the air conditioner may turn on when a correct code is found.
- Once your air conditioner responds (turns on), press the OK button to confirm and save the code. The code number will stop flashing.
- Test the remote control's functions (ON/OFF, Mode, Temperature). If it does not work effectively, repeat steps 3-5.

6.2 Cleaning

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Remote does not power on or display is blank. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted. | Replace batteries with new AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Remote does not control the air conditioner. | Incorrect code set, or remote is not pointed at the AC unit. | Ensure the remote is pointed directly at the AC unit. Re-perform the code setting procedure (Manual or Automatic Search) as described in Section 4.2. |
| Only some functions work (e.g., ON/OFF works, but temperature adjustment doesn't). | The set code is partially compatible but not fully. | Re-perform the code setting procedure. Try the Automatic Search method or cycle through more codes during Manual Input to find a fully compatible code. |
| Air conditioner does not respond to timer settings. | Timer not set correctly or AC unit does not fully support the timer function via remote. | Ensure the current time is set on the remote. Re-check timer settings. Consult your air conditioner's original manual for specific timer compatibility. |
