Maintenance

Battery Replacement

Replace batteries when the remote's display becomes dim or the air conditioner no longer responds reliably. Always replace both batteries simultaneously with new AAA alkaline 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 cleaners, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the remote's surface or internal components.

Storage

If the remote control will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage.

Troubleshooting

• Remote not responding:
  • Check if the batteries are correctly installed with the correct polarity.

  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the air conditioner's infrared receiver.
  • Confirm you are within the effective operating range of the air conditioner.
• Display is dim or blank:
  • Replace the batteries.
• Air conditioner responds intermittently:
