WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS

A built-in protective device
might prevent the unit from
operating when used out of
this range.

Condensation might form on
the air outlet when the unit
operates continuously in the
COOL or the DRY mode
when the humidity is over 80
percent.

This air conditioner has a back-up function in case of power failure during operation.
After power recovery, the unit will automatically restart in the same settings which were

actived

before the power failure, except for timer operation settings.
If the timers are set, they will need to be reset after power recovery.

PREHEATING FUNCTION

In the HEAT operation, the indoor fan might not start for two to five minutes after the unit is turned on
to prevent the air from circulating before the unit is sufficiently warmed up.

DE-ICING FUNCTION

l When ice forms on the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit during the HEAT operation, an

automatic de-icer operates for about 5 to IO minutes to remove the ice. During de-icing, the inside
and outside fans stop operating.

l

A hissing sound may be heard originating from the indoor unit during de-icing.

l

After de-icing is completed, the unit automatically resumes operation in the HEAT mode.

HEATING EFFICIENCY

l

The unit employs a heat pump that draws heat from the outside air and releases it into the room.

The outside air temperature therefore greatly affects the heating efficiency.

l If the outside temperature is unusually low, you may require additional heating to maintain the

desired room temperature.

l

On very cold days, it may take some time to heat the entire room, you may need to use the “full

power” feature to speed up heating.

Below are some simple ways to save energy when you use your air conditioner.

i

SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE

a

Setting the temperature 1 “C higher in COOL mode, and 2°C lower in HEAT mode than the desired

temperature can result in a 10 percent saving in electricity.

l

Setting the temperature colder than necessary during cooling will result in excess power consump-

tion.

KEEP OUT DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND DRAFTS

l

Keeping out direct sunlight when cooling will aid in reducing the power consumption.

l

Close the windows and doors when heating and cooling the room.

SET PROPER AIR FLOW DIRECTION TO OBTAIN THE BEST AIR CIRCULATION
KEEP FILTER CLEAN TO ENSURE THE MOST EFFICIENT OPERATION
MAKE MOST OF THE TIMER OFF FUNCTION
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT TO BE USED FOR AN

EXTENDED PERIOD

l

The indoor unit still consumes a small amount of power when it is not operating.

W

Volume control

The sound level at a given volume setting depends on a
combination of speaker efficiency, location and various other
factors.
It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which
occur whilst turning the unit on with the volume control set­ting up high, or whilst continually listening at high volumes.

n

Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an
extremely humid environment may cause condensation in-

side the cabinet (CD pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the
transmitter

LED on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.
If this happens, leave the power on with no disc (or cassette)
in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour)
or wipe off any condensation on the transmitter LED with a
soft cloth before operating the unit.

Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however

mis-

tracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the
disc surface.

Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from
your CD collection and player.

0

Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the

non-label side. Signals are read from the non-label side.
Do not mark this surface.

0

Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and ex-

cessive moisture.

0

Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or

water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a
CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft,
dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the
radius.

Aerial connection

(1) Supplied FM aerial

Connect the FM aerial wire to the FM 75 OHMS terminal and
orient the FM aerial wire in the direction where the strongest

signal can be received.

(2) Supplied AM loop aerial

Connect the AM loop aerial wire to the AM and GND terminals.
Position the AM loop aerial for optimum reception.
Place the AM loop aerial on a shelf, etc., or attach it to a stand
or wall with screws (not supplied).

Notes:

0

When static is still heard even after adjusting the position of

the AM loop aerial, try reversing the wires.

0

Do not place the AM loop aerial and the FM aerial wire on

the unit. It may result in noise generation, since the unit is
equipped with digital electronics.
Place the AM loop aerial and the FM aerial wire away from
the unit for better reception.

0

If the AM loop aerial and the FM aerial wire are placed near

the AC power lead, it may cause interference.

(3) External FM aerial

To connect a 75 ohm, coaxial cable aerial, use the terminals
marked FM 75 OHMS and GND.

To connect the external aerial to the unit, it is recommended that
a 75 ohm coaxial cable be used. Its shielded construction resists

most types of electrical interference that can cause reception
noise.

Internal care

Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound
and tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moist­ened with commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl
alcohol.

After long use, the deck’s heads and capstans may become
magnetised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts
once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a
commercial tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagne­tiser’s instructions carefully before use.
