Setup
1. Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
- Slide the cover downwards or in the direction indicated by an arrow to open it.
- Insert the two included AAA batteries, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the markings inside the compartment.

The remote control requires two AAA batteries, which are supplied with the product.
2. Mounting the Adhesive Holder
The included adhesive holder allows for convenient storage of your remote control. Choose a clean, dry, and smooth surface near your air conditioning unit for optimal accessibility.
- Clean the desired mounting surface thoroughly to ensure good adhesion.
- Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive strip on the holder.
- Press the holder firmly onto the chosen surface for at least 30 seconds.
- Allow the adhesive to set for a few hours before placing the remote control in the holder.
3. Initial Configuration (Pairing with ARTICA AC Unit)
This remote control requires a simple configuration process to pair with your ARTICA air conditioning unit. This process must be performed directly in front of the air conditioner.
- Ensure your ARTICA air conditioning unit is powered on and in standby mode.
- Point the remote control directly at the infrared receiver on your ARTICA air conditioner.
- Press and hold the "SET" or "CODE" button (refer to the remote's button layout if different) until the numbers on the remote's LED screen start flashing or a code search begins.
- Release the button. The remote will now automatically cycle through various codes. Observe your air conditioner for a response (e.g., a beep, a change in display, or the unit turning on/off).
- Once your air conditioner responds, immediately press any button (e.g., "ON/OFF" or "OK") on the remote to confirm and save the code.
- Test all functions of the remote control to ensure proper operation. If some functions do not work, repeat the configuration process.
Important Note:
- This remote is compatible with ARTICA Split-type air conditioners (wall-mounted units).
- It is NOT VALID for portable or centralized duct ARTICA air conditioning systems.
Operating Instructions
Your compatible remote control provides full functionality for your ARTICA air conditioner. The remote features an LED screen for clear display of settings.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or chemical solvents, as these may damage the surface or internal components.
- Battery Replacement: If the remote control's range decreases or the LED screen dims, it's time to replace the batteries. Always replace both AAA batteries at the same time with new ones. Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage to the remote control. Store the remote in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid Drops: Protect the remote control from physical shocks and drops, which can damage internal circuitry.
