Handling the Remote Controller

Inserting and Replacing Batteries

Your air conditioning unit may come with two batteries. Insert batteries before use.

1. Slide the back cover downward to expose the battery compartment.
2. Insert batteries, matching the (+) and (-) ends with the symbols inside the compartment.
3. Slide the battery cover back into place.

Battery Notes: For optimum performance, do not mix old and new batteries or different types. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for more than 2 months.

Battery Disposal: Do not dispose of batteries as unsorted municipal waste. Follow local laws for proper disposal.

Tips for Using Remote Control

• The remote control must be used within 8 meters of the unit.
• The unit will beep when a remote signal is received.
• Curtains, other materials, and direct sunlight can interfere with the infrared signal receiver.
• Remove batteries if the remote will not be used for more than 2 months.

Notes for Using Remote Control

The device complies with local national regulations. In Canada, it complies with CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B). In the USA, this device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, subject to two conditions: (1) it may not cause harmful interference, and (2) it must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications not approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

How to Use Advanced Functions

Swing function

Press the Swing button. The horizontal louver swings up and down. Press again to stop. Keep pressing for more than 2 seconds to activate vertical louver swing (for applicable units).

Airflow direction

Continue pressing the SWING button to set one of five airflow directions. The louver moves within a range; press until the desired direction is reached.

LED DISPLAY

Press the LED button to turn the indoor unit's LED display and buzzer on/off. Keep pressing for more than 5 seconds (some units) to display the actual room temperature. Pressing again for over 5 seconds reverts to the setting temperature display.

LOCK function

Press and hold the Clean and Turbo buttons simultaneously for more than 5 seconds to activate the Lock function. All buttons become unresponsive except Clean and Turbo, which can be used to disable locking after pressing them for two seconds.

ECO/GEAR function

Press this button to enter the energy-efficient mode sequence: ECO → GEAR(75%) → GEAR(50%) → Previous setting mode → ECO... This function is available only in COOL mode.

• ECO operation: In cooling mode, the remote automatically adjusts temperature to 24°C/75°F and fan speed to Auto for energy saving (if set temperature is below 24°C/75°F). If the set temperature is above 24°C/75°F, ECO button changes fan speed to Auto, keeping the set temperature unchanged.
• Note: Pressing ECO/GEAR, changing mode, or setting temperature below 24°C/75°F stops ECO operation. Under ECO operation, a set temperature of 24°C/75°F or above may result in insufficient cooling. Press ECO again to stop if uncomfortable.
• GEAR operation: Press ECO/GEAR to enter GEAR operation: 75% (up to 75% electrical energy consumption) → 50% (up to 50% electrical energy consumption) → Previous setting mode. The setting temperature reverts to the display after 3 seconds.

Silence function

Keep pressing the Fan button for more than 2 seconds to activate/disable Silence function. Due to low frequency compressor operation, cooling and heating capacity may be insufficient. Pressing ON/OFF, Mode, Turbo, or Clean, or activating sleep feature will cancel silence function.

TIMER Setting

TIMER ON/OFF Setting:

Set the time after which the unit will automatically turn on/off.

1. Press the TIMER button to initiate the ON time sequence.
2. Use the TEMP ∧/∨ buttons multiple times to set the desired ON time.
3. Point the remote to the unit and wait 1 second for TIMER ON activation.

1. Press the TIMER button to initiate the OFF time sequence.
2. Use the TEMP ∧/∨ buttons multiple times to set the desired OFF time.
3. Point the remote to the unit and wait 1 second for TIMER OFF activation.

Note: Time increments are 30 minutes up to 10 hours, then 1-hour increments up to 24 hours. Setting timer to 0.0h cancels the function. Timer reverts to 0.0 after 24 hours.

TIMER ON & OFF Setting (Example):

The time periods set refer to hours after the current time.

Example: If current time is 1:00 PM, setting the timer as shown will turn the unit on at 3:30 PM (2.5 hours later) and turn it off at 6:00 PM (5 hours later).

FP function

Press this button twice within one second under HEAT Mode with the temperature set to 16°C/60°F. The unit will operate at high fan speed with the temperature automatically set to 8°C/46°F. This function is for heat pump air conditioners only. Pressing On/Off, Mode, Fan, Temp, or starting sleep feature will cancel this function.

CLEAN function

Press the Clean button to activate the Active Clean function. This technology washes away dust, mold, and grease from the heat exchanger by automatically freezing and thawing frost. The indoor unit display shows "CL". After 20 to 45 minutes, the unit turns off and cancels CLEAN function.

Turbo Function

• Turbo: When selected in COOL mode, the unit blows cool air with the strongest wind setting to jump-start cooling. In HEAT mode, it blows heat air with the strongest wind setting to jump-start heating. For units with electric heat elements, the Electric HEATER activates.
• Super heat function: Long press the Turbo button for 5 seconds in Heating/Auto heating mode to initiate super heat function, improving heating speed at low temperatures. To stop, long press for 3 seconds. Under super heat mode, the louver opens to its maximum angle to reach the preset temperature quickly. Note: The anti-cold air feature disables 5 minutes after compressor starts, potentially resulting in low air outlet temperature. Choose whether to enable this function based on your needs.
• Note: If Super heat is activated, "On" displays for 3 seconds. If stopped, "OF" displays for 3 seconds. Changing the mode or turning the unit off stops super heating.

SET Function

1. Press the SET button to enter function setting.
2. Press SET or TEMP ∧/∨ to select the desired function. The symbol flashes; press OK to confirm.
3. To cancel, repeat the procedure.

Operation Functions: Fresh/UV-C lamp [lamp icon] → Sleep [sleep icon] → Follow Me [follow me icon] → AP mode [AP icon]. (Fresh or AP function is unit-dependent.)

• FRESH/UV-C lamp function: Activates the lonizer or UV-C lamp (model dependent) to purify the air. Both features activate if available.
• Sleep function: Decreases energy use during sleep. Can only be activated via remote control. Not available in FAN or DRY mode. Refer to "Owner's Manual" for details.
• AP function: Choose AP mode for wireless network configuration. If it doesn't work by pressing SET, continuously press the LED button seven times in 10 seconds to enter AP mode.
• Follow me function: The remote measures ambient temperature and sends it to the air conditioner every 3 minutes. In AUTO, COOL, or HEAT modes, this allows the air conditioner to optimize temperature based on the remote's location for maximum comfort.
• Note: Press SET to select Follow Me, then OK to confirm. Pressing OK for 3 seconds starts/stops the memory feature. Activated memory shows "On" for 3 seconds; stopped memory shows "OF" for 3 seconds. Memory feature activation is not canceled by ON/OFF, mode shift, or power failure.
