Turn on an AM radio, bring

the remote control switch within

15 cm of the radio, and press

the ON/OFF button.

Check the indoor unit signal

receiving P. W. B..

If it is good, check the main P. W. B..

You can check the remote control switch by
other methods as explained below.

Using the test card

The sensible area should flash in orange when you
operate the remote control unit if it is good.

Ultra redray test card

Sensible area

Within 2 cm

Check functions again.

If it does not work, replace

the remote controller.

“Buzz”

Within 15 cm

[AM radio]

Check the LED (D1) with

a multimeter.

Replace the battery.

Install the battery in the correct polarity.

Yes

Does the radio buzz noisily?

Is battery polarity correct?

Is the battery check sign + –

flashing?
