– correctly!
• When replacing the batteries, use batteries of the
same type, and replace the two old batteries together.
• When the system is not used for a long time, take the
batteries out.
• We recommend replacing once a year, although if the
remote controller display begins to fade or if reception
deteriorates, please replace with new alkali batteries.
Using manganese batteries reduces the lifespan.
• The attached batteries are provided for the initial use
of the system.
The usable period of the batteries may be short
depending on the manufactured date of the air
conditioner.

To operate the remote
controller
•
To use the remote controller, aim the transmitter at
the indoor unit. If there is anything to block signals
between the unit and the remote controller, such
as a curtain, the unit will not operate.
•
Do not drop the remote controller. Do not get it wet.
• The maximum distance for communication is
about 7m.
To fix the remote controller
holder on the wall
1. Choose a place from where the
signals reach the unit.
2.
Fix the holder to a wall, a pillar, etc.
with the screws supplied with the
holder.

ATTENTION
 About remote controller
• Never expose the remote controller to direct sunlight.
• Dust on the signal transmitter or receiver will reduce the
sensitivity. Wipe off dust with soft cloth.
• Signal communication may be disabled if an electronic-
starter-type fluorescent lamp (such as inverter-type
lamps) is in the room. Consult the shop if that is the case.
• If the remote controller signals happen to operate another
appliance, move that appliance to somewhere else, or
consult the shop.

Tips for saving energy

Please note
Recommended temperature setting
For cooling:26 ˚ C – 28 ˚ C
For heating:20
˚ C – 24 ˚ C
• Be careful not to cool (heat) the room too much.
Keeping the temperature setting at a moderate level helps
save energy.
• Cover windows with a blind or a curtain.
Blocking sunlight and air from outdoors increases the cooling
(heating) effect.
• Clogged air filters cause inefficient operation and waste
energy. Clean them once in about every two weeks.
• The air conditioner always consumes 15-35 watts of electricity
even while it is not operating.
• If you are not going to use the air conditioner for a long period,
for example in spring or autumn, turn the breaker OFF.

• Since this air conditioner heats the room by taking heat from
outdoor air to indoors, the heating capacity becomes smaller
in lower outdoor temperatures. If the heating effect is
insufficient, it is recommended to use another heating
appliance in combination with the air conditioner.
• The heat pump system heats the room by circulating hot air
around all parts of the room. After the start of heating
operation, it takes some time before the room gets warmer.
• In heating operation, frost may occur on the outdoor unit and
lower the heating capacity. In that case, the system switches
into defrosting operation to take away the frost.
• During defrosting operation, hot air does not flow out of
indoor unit.
• This air conditioner cools the room by blowing the hot
air in the room outside, so if the outside temperature is
high, performance drops.
•
At smaller airflow rates, the cooling (heating) effect is also
smaller.
• In AUTO operation, the system selects a temperature setting
and an appropriate operation mode (COOL or HEAT) based
on the room temperature at the start of the operation.
• The system automatically reselects setting at a regular
interval to bring the room temperature to user-setting level.
• If you do not like AUTO operation, you can manually
select the operation mode and setting you like.
• The computer chip works to rid the room of humidity
while maintaining the temperature as much as
possible. It automatically controls temperature and fan
strength, so manual adjustment of these functions is
unavailable.
