• The following two symbols are used to denote dangers that may be caused by incorrect use.They
are classified according to the degree of danger.
WARNING: This symbol denotes what could lead to serious injury or death if you
misuse the controller.
CAUTION: This symbol denotes what could lead to personal injury or damage to
your property if you misuse the controller.
• After reading this manual, be sure to forward it, together with the operation manual accompanying
the indoor unit, to the user.
Together with the operation manual for the indoor unit, this manual should be kept in a place where
it can be referred to at anytime by the user.When the user changes, be sure to forward the manual
to the final user.
WARNING
■Check the installation conditions.
• In order to prevent the controller falling down, make sure that it is installed in a place strong
enough to withstand its weight.
■Do not dispose of the controller by yourself.
• Consult your dealer in case of disposal.
■Stop operation when an abnormality occurs.
• Continuing to operate under abnormal conditions can result in breakdown, electric shock or
fire.Whenanabnormalityoccurs(burning smell etc.), stop operations,turn off the powerswitch
and consult your dealer.
■Never modify or repair the controller by yourself.
• Any deficiency caused by your modification or repair may result in an electric shock or fire.
Consult your dealer about repairs.
■Stop operation if the operation lamp on the controller’s receiver blinks or if an abnormality
occurs.
• Leaving the controller in these conditions can lead to fire or breakdown. Report such condi-
tions to your dealer.
■Never allow the alkaline batteries to short-circuit. Never disassemble, heat or place them
in fire.
• Doing so can cause the strong alkaline liquid to leak and possibly enter your eyes or cause the
batteries to explode or heat up, resulting in personal injuries, burning or mechanical break-
downs.If strong alkaline liquid comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash it off with clean
water.If it gets in to your eyes, wash them with clean water and consult a doctor immediately.

CAUTION
■Do not drop the controller.
• Doing so may cause the case to crack and may disable control.
■Do not place any dangerous substances near the controller.
• Do not install in any place exposed to leakage of flammable gas.Flammable gases accumu-
lated around the controller may cause fire or an explosion.
■Do not wash with water.
• Doing so may cause an electric shock or breakdown.
■Do not touch any control button with wet hands.
• Doing so may cause an electric shock or breakdown.
■Do not disassemble the controller.
• Contact with internal circuitry may cause fire or breakdown.
■Do not use in special environments.
• Using in places exposed to oil (including machine oil), steam or sulfur gas can reduce the
performance or can cause damage to the components.
■Do not spray insecticide or other flammable sprays.
• Do not place flammable sprays near the controller or spray directly at the controller. Doing so
may result in fire or explosion.
■Do not wipe the controller with benzine, thinner or chemical cloths etc.
• Doing so may cause discoloration or breakdowns. If the controller becomes extremely dirty,
dampen a cloth with water-diluted neutral detergent and wipe the controller with it, then wipe
with a dry cloth.
■Do not press any control button with a sharp object.
• Doing so may cause an electric shock or breakdown.
■Keep the temperature within the specified range.
• Use the controller within the specified operating temperature range.Using in temperature out-
side that range can cause serious breakdowns.
• For the specified operating temperature range, refer to the specifications given on the opera-
tion manual.
■Do not use for other special purposes.
• The controller has been designed for use with the MITSUBISHI Electric Building Air Condition-
ing Control System only.Do not use for other purposes such as controlling other air condition-
ers.Doing so may result in breakdown.
■Incorrect use of batteries can cause liquid leakage,explosion or heating and may result in
breakdown or personal injury. Adhere to the following.
