Handling the Remote Controller

Location of the Remote Controller

Use the remote controller within a distance of 8 meters from the appliance, pointing it towards the receiver. Reception is confirmed by a beep ?.

Cautions

The air conditioner will not operate if curtains, doors, or other materials block the signals from the remote controller to the indoor unit.
Prevent any liquid from falling into the remote controller. Do not expose the remote controller to direct sunlight or heat.
If the infrared signal receiver on the indoor unit is exposed to direct sunlight, the air conditioner may not function properly. Use curtains to prevent sunlight from falling on the receiver.
If other electrical appliances react to the remote controller, either move these appliances or consult your local dealer.

Replacing Batteries

The remote controller is powered by two dry batteries (R03/LR03x2) housed in the rear part and protected by a cover.

Remove the cover by pressing and sliding it off.
Remove the old batteries and insert the new batteries, placing the (+) and (-) ends correctly.
Reattach the cover by sliding it back into position.

NOTE: When batteries are removed, all programming is erased. After inserting new batteries, the remote controller must be reprogrammed.

Battery Cautions

Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types.
Do not leave the batteries in the remote controller if they are not going to be used for 2 or 3 months.
Do not dispose of batteries as unsorted municipal waste. Collection of such waste separately for special treatment is necessary.
