USING THE REMOTE CONTROLLER
Temperature Display Selector
buttonThis switches the temperature display between °C and °F.
Time Display Selector buttonThis switches the time display between 24-hour time and 12-hour time.
ACL button (ALL CLEAR)Puts the remote controller into pre-operation status. Always press this button 
after replacing the batteries.
ADDRESS switch• The address switch changes to prevent mixing of signals from remote 
controller’s when two air conditioners are installed next to each other. 
Normally, the address switch is set to A. For more information, please contact 
the dealer where you made the purchase.
• Normally, the tabs on the remote controller should not be bent.
The remote controller sends the temperature signal to the air conditioner regularly at five minute intervals. 
If the signal from the remote controller stops for more than 15 minutes due to the loss of the remote 
controller or other trouble, the air conditioner will switch to the temperature sensor which is built into the 
indoor unit and control the room temperature. In these cases, the temperature around the remote 
controller may differ from the temperature detected at the air conditioner’s position.
How to Install Batteries
• The batteries last about six months, depending on how much you use 
the remote controller. Replace the batteries when the remote controller’s 
display fails to light, or when the remote controller cannot be used to 
change the air conditioner’s settings.
• Use two fresh leak-proof type-AAA alkaline batteries.
• In replacing batteries, follow the instructions as mentioned in the 
subsection “How to Install Batteries”.
• If you do not use the remote controller more than 1 month, take out the 
batteries.
• Dispose of the used batteries at the designated location in compliance 
with the applicable local ordinances.

How to Use the Remote
ControllerWhen using the remote controller, always point the unit’s transmitter head directly 
at the air conditioner’s receiver.
Remote Controller Installation
PositionThe remote controller may be operated either from a non-fixed position or from a 
wall-mounted position. To ensure that the air conditioner operates correctly, do 
not install the remote controller in the following places:
• In direct sunlight
• Behind a curtain or other places where it is covered
• More than 26 ft (8 m) away from the air conditioner
• In the path of the air conditioner’s airstream
• Where it may become extremely hot or cold
• Where it may be subject to electrical or magnetic noise
• Where there is an obstacle between the remote controller and air conditioner 
(since a check signal is sent from the remote controller every 5 minutes)
Mounting the Remote
ControllerBefore mounting the remote controller, press the ON/OFF operation button at the 
mounting location to make sure that the air conditioner operates from that 
location. The indoor unit should make a beeping sound to indicate that it has 
received the signal.
To take out the remote controller, pull it forward.
When Holding the Remote
Controller• When using the remote controller and during air conditioner operation, the 
transmitter on the remote controller should be pointed towards the receiver on 
the indoor unit.
• Make sure that there are no objects between the remote controller and 
receiver which could block the signal.
