Important Battery Guidelines:

• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix different types of batteries (e.g., alkaline with rechargeable).
• Remove batteries if the remote control will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

Operating Instructions

To operate your air conditioner, point the remote control directly towards the signal reception window of the air conditioning unit. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the unit.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your remote control.

• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the display becomes dim or the remote's response is slow. Always replace both batteries simultaneously with new ones of the same type.
• Cleaning: Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, sprays, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the surface or internal components.
• Storage: If the remote control will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent potential leakage and damage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your remote control, try the following steps:

• Remote Not Responding:
  • Ensure the remote is pointed directly at the air conditioner's receiver.
  • Check if the batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity.
  • Replace the batteries with new ones.
  • Remove any obstructions between the remote and the air conditioner.
