CAUTIONS

The heat pump 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 heat pump may not function properly. Use curtains to
prevent the 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 powed by two dry batteries(R03/LR03X2) housed in the
rear part and protected by a cover.
(1) Remove the cover by pressing and sliding off.
(2) Remove the old batteries and insert the new batteries,placing the(+) and (-)
ends correctly.
(3) Reattach the cover by sliding it back into position.

NOTE: When the batteries are removed, the remote controller erases all
programming. After inserting new batteries, the remote controller must be
reprogrammed.

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 batteries as unsorted municipal waste. Collection
of such waste separately for special treatment is necessary.
