HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES

● Remove trhe lid in the rear part of the remote control unit

and check the settings of the four microswitches as
shown below:

TEMPERATURE SENSOR SELECTOR

●

Under normal conditions the room temperature is detected
and checked by the temperature sensor placed in the
remote controller (I FEEL icon displayed ).This function
is designed to provide a comfortable room temperature
by transmitting the temperature control command from the
location next to you. When using this function, the remote,
control should always be pointed at the air conditioner,
therefore it should be placed in a position in which it is
visible by the indoor unit (for example, do not put it in a
drawer).

●

It is possible to disable the remote controller room sensor
pressing the I FEEL button. In this case the I FEEL icon
on the remote controller display lights off and only the
sensor placed in the air conditioner becomes active.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

●

Insert two AAA alkaline batteries of 1,5 V-DC making
sure that point in the direction marked in the battery
compartment.The displayed time flashes.
Press the SEL TYPE button.
Remote controller is now ready for operation.

●

The batteries last average more than six months, anyway
it depends on how much you use the remote control
unit.
Remove the batteries if you do not use the remote control
unit for more than one month.
Replace the batteries when the remote control unit lamp
fails to light, or when the air conditioner does not receive
the remote control unit signals.

●

The batteries of the remote control contain polluted
substances. Exhausted batteries must be disposed
according to the laws in force.

OPERATION WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

When using the remote control unit, always point the unit
transmitter head directly at the air conditioner receiver.

HOW TO TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER

Press the ON/OFF button to turn the air conditioner on.
The operation lamp will light up, indicating the unit is in
operation.

The remote control unit transmits signals to the indoor
unit each time you press a key and at any temperature
change detected by the IFEEL sensor. In case of
troubles (low batteries, remote control placed in a
position not visible by the indoor unit,...) room
temperature control is automatically switched to the
sensor of the indoor unit. In this case, the temperature
around the remote control unit may differ from the
temperature detected in the air conditioner position.
