Handling the Remote Controller

Inserting and Replacing Batteries

Your air conditioning unit may come with two batteries (some units). Put the batteries in the remote control before use.

1. Slide the back cover from the remote control downward, exposing the battery compartment.
2. Insert the batteries, paying attention to match up the (+) and (-) ends of the batteries with the symbols inside the battery compartment.
3. Slide the battery cover back into place.

Remote Control

• Direct sunlight can interfere with the infrared signal receiver.
• There must be a clear line of sight between the remote and the appliance.
• If the signals from the remote control happen to control another appliance, move the appliance to another location or contact customer service.

Battery Disposal

• Do not dispose of batteries as unsorted municipal waste. Refer to local laws for proper disposal of batteries.
• Batteries may have a chemical symbol at the bottom of the disposal icon. This chemical symbol means that the battery contains a heavy metal that exceeds a certain concentration. An example is Pb: Lead (>0.004%).
• Appliances and used batteries must be treated in a specialized facility for reuse, recycling and recovery. By ensuring correct disposal, you will help avoid possible negative consequences for the environment and human health.

Battery Performance

For optimal product performance:

• Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different brands.
• Do not leave batteries in the remote control if you don't plan on using the device for more than 2 months.
