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.
