Maintenance
Battery Replacement
Replace batteries when the remote's range decreases or if the air conditioner does not respond to commands. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type (AAA). 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 may damage the remote's surface or internal components.

- Check if the batteries are inserted correctly with the correct polarity.
- Replace old batteries with new ones.
