Four pair number settings are supported. 
The pair number settings of the wireless remote 
controller and indoor control PCB (J41/J42) are 
given in the table on the left.
('   ' in the table indicates the jumper wire is disco-
nnected.)

There is no jumper (JP1) because these models 
have the cond./eva. temperature thermistor (TH5).
