Battery Care:
- Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or the display dims.
- If the remote will not be used for an extended period (e.g., one month or more), remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage.
- Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your remote control, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Remote not responding:
- Check if the batteries are inserted correctly with the proper polarity.
- Replace old batteries with new 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries.
- Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote control and the air conditioner's receiver. Obstructions can block the infrared signal.
- Confirm that the remote is pointed directly at the AC unit.
- Limited range:
- Ensure batteries are fresh. Weak batteries can reduce signal strength.
- Remove any obstacles between the remote and the AC unit.
- AC unit not responding to specific functions:
