EC—E4—E3—E2—E1—P1
(9) FOLLOW ME/TEMP SENSING feature(optional)
NOTE: This feature can be activated from the remote control ONLY. The remote control serves as a
remote thermostat allowing for the precise temperature control at its location.
To activate the Follow Me/Temp Sensing feature, point the remote control towards the unit and press the
Follow Me/Temp Sensing button. The remote display is actual temperature at its location. The remote
control will send this signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes interval until press the Follow Me/Temp
Sensing button again. If the unit does not receive the Follow Me /Temp Sensing signal during any 7
minutes interval, the unit will beep to indicate the Follow Me/Temp Sensing mode has ended.
