Handling of the remote controller
•
The range that the signal can reach is about 6 m when
the remote controller is pointed at the front of the in-
door unit.
•
When a button is pressed, one or two beeps will be
heard from the indoor unit. If no sound is heard, op-
erate again.
•
Use the remote controller carefully.
If it is dropped, thrown or it gets wet, the remote con-
troller may not operate.
•
Since the display on the remote controller is made of
liquid crystal (glass),it may not light up if it is damaged
from falling.
•
Refer to page 10 when the indoor unit does not
respond to the remote control signal.
When installing on a wall, etc.
•
Install the remote controller holder in a position where
the signal reception sound (beep) can be heard from
the indoor unit when the
ON/OFF
button is pressed.

Reference for replacing batteries
Replace the batteries with new AAA alkaline batteries
in the following cases:

When the display on the remote controller becomes dim.
·
When a button of the remote controller is pressed, all
displays appear on the screen, and then disappear
immediately.
Do not use manganese batteries. The remote controller
could malfunction.
•
The service life of an alkaline battery is about 1 year.
However, a battery whose time limit is approaching
may be exhausted soon. The recommended usable
time limit is indicated (month/year) on the bottom of
the battery.
•
To prevent liquid leakage, take out all batteries when
the remote controller is not going to be used for a
long time.
CAUTION:
If liquid from the batteries gets onto your skin or clothes,
wash it well with clean water.
If liquid from the batteries gets into your eyes, wash
them well with clean water and consult a doctor at once.
•
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
