G
In direct sunlight
G
Behind a curtain or other place where it is covered
G
More than 26' (8 m) away from the air conditioner

In the path of the air conditioner’s airstream
G
Where it may become extremely hot or cold
G
Where it may be subject to electrical or magnetic
interference

is sent from the remote control unit every 5 minutes)
7-1. Mounting on a Wall
Before mounting the remote control unit, press the
ON/OFF operation button at the mounting location to
make sure that the air conditioner operates from that
