SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
To gain full advantage of the airconditioner's functions
and to avoid malfunction due to mishandling, we
recommend that you read this instruction manual
carefully before use.
The precautions described herein are classified as
WARNING and CAUTION. They bothcontain important
information regarding safety.Be sure to observe all
precautions without fail.
Information classified as NOTE contains instructions to
ensure properuse of the equipment.
Afterreading, keep this manual in a convenient place so
that you can referto it whenevernecessary.If the
equipment is transferred to a new user, be sure also to
hand overthe manual.
■Be aware that prolonged, direct exposure to cool or
warm airfrom the airconditioner, orto airthat is too
cool ortoo warm can be harmful to yourphysical
condition and health.
■When the airconditioneris malfunctioning (giving off
a burning odour, etc.) turn off powerto the unit and
contact yourlocal dealer. Continued operation under
suchcircumstances may result in a failure, electric
shocks orfire hazards.
■Do not attempt to install orrepairthe airconditioner
yourself.Improperworkmanship may result in water
leakage, electric shocks orfire hazards.Please
contact yourlocal dealerorqualified personnel for
installation and maintenance work.
■Ask yourdealerto perform servicing orrepairs
whenevernecessary.
Improperservicing orrepairs may result in water
leaks, electric shock orfire.
■Do not place objects, including rods, yourfingers,
etc., in the airinlet oroutlet.Injury may result due to
contact withthe airconditioner's highspeed fan
blades.
■Consult yourlocal dealerregarding relocation and
reinstallation of the airconditioner. Improper
installation work may result in leakage, electric
shocks orfire hazards.
■Do not use the airconditionerforpurposes otherthan
those forwhichit is intended.Do not use the air
conditionerforcooling precision instruments, food,
plants, animals orworks of art as this may adversely
affect the performance, quality and/orlongevity of the
object concerned.
■To avoid oxygen depletion, ensure that the room is
adequately ventilated if equipment suchas a burner
is used togetherwiththe airconditioner.
■Do not expose plants oranimals directly to airflow
from the unit as this may cause adverse effects.
■To avoid electric shocks, do not operate withwet
hands.
■Do not place burners orheaters in places exposed to
the airflow from the unit as this may impair
combustion of the burnerorheater.
■Do not place flammable sprays oroperate spray
containers nearthe unit as this may result in fire.

H ANDLING FOR WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROLLER
Precautions in handling remote controller
■Direct the transmitting part of the remote controllerto
the receiving part of the airconditioner.
■If something blocks the transmitting and receiving
pathof the indoorunit and the remote controlleras
curtains, it will not operate.
■Tr ansmitting distance is approximately 7 m.
■2 short beeps from the receiverindicates that the
transmission is properly done.
■Do not drop orget it wet.
It may get damaged.
■Neverpress the button of the remote controllerwitha
hard, pointed object.
The remote controllermay get damaged.
Installation site
■It is possible that signals will not be received in rooms
that have electronic fluorescent lighting.Please
consult withthe salesman before buying new
fluorescent lights.
■If the remote controlleroperated some other
electrical apparatus, move that machine away or
consult yourdealer.

of type AAA.LR03.Put
the batteries correctly to
fit their(+) and (–).Close
the cover.
When to change batteries
Undernormal use, batteries last about a year. However,
change them wheneverthe indoorunit doesn't respond
orresponds slowly to commands, orif the display
becomes dark.
In case of a centralized control system
If the indoorunit is undercentralized control, it is
necessary to switchthe remote controller's setting.In this
case, contact yourdealer.

Explanation of heating operation
Defrost operation
■As the frost on the coil of an outdoorunit increase,
heating effect decreases and the system goes into
DEFROST OPERATION.
■The fan operation stops and the DEFROST lamp of
the indoorunit goes on.
After6 to 8 minutes (maximum 10 minutes) of
DEFROST OPERATION, the system returns to
HEATING OPERATION.
Heating capacity and outdoor air temperature
■Heating capacity drops as outdoorairtemperature
lowers.If feeling cold, use anotherheaterat the same
time as this airconditioner.
■Hot airis circulated to warm the room.It will take
some time from when the airconditioneris first
started until the entire room becomes warm.The
internal fan automatically turns at low speed until the
airconditionerreaches a certain temperature on the
inside.In this situation, all you can do is wait.
■If hot airaccumulates on the ceiling and feet are left
feeling cold, it is recommended to use a circulator.
Fordetails, contact the place of purchase.

the following control system type:
■Group control system
One remote controllercontrols up to 16 indoorunits.
All indoorunits are equally set.
■Two remote controllercontrol system
Two remote controllers control one indoorunit.(In
case of group control system, one group of indoor
units.)
The unit follows individual operation.
HOW TO DIAGNOSE TROUBLE SPOTS

Example Reason
The system does not
restart immediately after
the ON/OFF button is
pressed.
If the OPERATION lamp
lights, the system is in
normal condition.It does
not restart immediately
because a safety device
operates to prevent
overload of the system.

automatically.
The system does not
restart immediately when
TEMPERATURE
SETTING button is
returned to the former
position afterpushing the

It does not restart
immediately because a
safety device operates to
prevent overload of the
system.
After3 minutes, the
system will turn on again
automatically.
If the reception beep is
rapidly repeated 3 times
(It sounds only twice
when operating normally.)
Control is set to the
optional controllerfor
centralized control.
If the defrost lamp on the
indoorunit's display is lit
when heating is started.
This indication is to warn
against cold airbeing
blown from the unit.There
is nothing wrong withthe
equipment.
The outdoorunit stops.Because the room
temperature reaches to
the set temperature.The
indoorunit goes into fan
operation.
