■ When using the wireless remote controller, point it towards the receiver on the indoor unit.

■ If the remote controller is operated within approximately two minutes after power is supplied

to the indoor unit, the indoor unit may beep twice as the unit is performing the initial automatic check.

■ The indoor unit beeps to confirm that the signal transmitted from the remote controller has been received. Signals can be received up to approximately 7 meters in a direct line from the indoor unit in an area 45° to the left and right of the unit. However, illumination such as fluorescent lights and strong light can affect the ability of the indoor unit to receive signals.

■ If the operation lamp near the receiver on the indoor unit is flashing, the unit needs to be inspected. Consult your dealer for service.

■ Handle the remote controller carefully! Do not drop the remote controller or subject it to strong shocks. In addition, do not get the remote controller wet or leave it in a location with high humidity.

■ To avoid misplacing the remote controller, install the holder included with the remote controller on a wall and be sure to always place the remote controller in the holder after use.

■ Press the ON/OFF button 1 again.

• The ON lamp ¡ and the display area go dark.

Note: Even if you press the ON/OFF button immediately after shutting down the operation is progress, the air conditioner will not start for about three minutes. This is to prevent the internal components from being damaged.

5.2. Mode select

■ Press the operation mode ( ) button 2 and select the opera- tion mode

Automatic operation

■ According to a set temperature, cooling operation starts if the room temperature is too hot and heating operation starts if the room temperature is too cold.

■ During automatic operation, if the room temperature changes and remains 2 °C, 4 °F or more above the set temperature for 15 minutes, the air conditioner switches to cooling mode. In the same way, if the room temperature remains 2 °C, 4 °F or more below the set temperature for 15 minutes, the air conditioner switches to heating mode.

Cooling mode

■ Because the room temperature is automatically adjusted in order to maintain a fixed effective temperature, cooling operation is performed a few degrees warmer and heating operation is performed a few degrees cooler than the set room temperature once the temperature is reached (automatic energy-saving operation).
