radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference in radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that of the
receiver.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio orTV technician for help.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using
an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter
by Industry Canada.To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Cet appareil est conforme avec Industrie Canada, exempts de licence standard
RSS(s). Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes: 1) ce
dispositif ne doit pas causer d’interférences, et 2) ce dispositif doit accepter

fonctionnement de l’appareil.
En vertu des règlements d’Industrie Canada, cet émetteur de radio ne peut
fonctionner en utilisant une antenne d’un type et maximale (ou moins) Gain
approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Pour réduire les interférences
radio potentielles aux autres utilisateurs , le type d’antenne et son gain doivent
être choisis afin que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne est pas
plus de ce qui est nécessaire pour une communication réussie.
We, Daikin, declare under our sole responsibility that the device to which
this declaration relates: Complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is

setpoint has been reached, before energizing heating or cooling.
Differential:The forced temperature difference between the heat
setpoint and the cool setpoint in Auto Mode.
Heat Setpoint:The coolest temperature that the space should drop
to before heating is turned on (without regard to deadband).
Icon: The word or symbol that appears on the thermostat display.
Mode: The current operating condition of the thermostat
(i.e. Off, Heat, Cool, Auto).
