Battery Replacement

Replace batteries when the remote's range decreases or the display becomes dim. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new AAA batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.

Cleaning

Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive pads, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the remote's surface or internal components.

  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the air conditioner's receiver.
  • Point the remote directly at the air conditioner unit.
• Limited operating range:
  • Replace the batteries with new ones.
  • Ensure no strong light sources (e.g., direct sunlight, fluorescent lights) are interfering with the infrared signal.
