Changing Temperature Unit (Celsius/Fahrenheit)
Some universal remotes allow switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit. As this remote is pre-set and lacks explicit programming instructions, a common method for many universal AC remotes is to:
- Ensure the remote is powered off.
- Press and hold the SET TEMP. Up Arrow and SET TEMP. Down Arrow buttons simultaneously for approximately 5 seconds.
- Alternatively, try pressing and holding the MODE button and the SET TEMP. Up Arrow button simultaneously for 5 seconds.
If these methods do not work, the temperature unit may be fixed or controlled directly by your air conditioner unit. Consult your specific FUJITSU air conditioner's original instruction manual for details on changing the temperature display unit.
Maintenance
Battery Replacement
When the remote control's display becomes dim or its range decreases, it is time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the "Setup" section. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new AAA batteries.
Caution: Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries. Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
Troubleshooting
- Remote not responding:
- Check if the batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity.
