unit. When a signal is received normally, "pi" sound is heard once. ("Pi, pi" is heard only at
the beginning of operation.)
•The standard signal receivable distance from the signal receiving unit of the indoor unit is
approx. 23' (7 m). The distance varies somewhat with the battery capacity or other
conditions.
• Do not put anything that blocks signals between the remote controller and the signal
receiving unit of the indoor unit.
• Do not put the remote controller at a place exposed to direct sunlight or air from the indoor
unit or near a heater.
• Do not drop or throw the remote controller or wipe it with water.

10 ADDRESS
When two or more indoor units controlled by the same wireless remote controller are
installed in a room, a unique address can be set for each indoor unit to prevent
interference.
Up to 6 indoor units can be controlled independently by the remote controller by
matching the address switch setting of the signal receiving unit with the address
displayed on the remote controller. From the seventh indoor unit onwards, address
setting is necessary from wired remote controller. The signal receiving unit (inside the
ceiling panel) has address switches for receiving addresses, and the remote controller
has an address button for transmitting addresses.
For details, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the air conditioner.
•Checking Addresses
Push IZ_ on the remote controller. The current address appears on the display.
When this address equals the address of the address switch in the signal receiving unit
(inside the ceiling panel), the buzzer sounds. When the address on the display is "ALL," the
buzzer sounds and the remote controller is enabled regardless of the address switch setting
in the signal receiving unit.
Transmit signals while pointing the remote controller at the signal receiving unit of the indoor
unit to be controlled.
•Matching Addresses
Address setting on the remote controller
1. Push _ for at least 4 seconds. _ lights up on the display and the current address blinks.
2. Each time you push I_], addresses change cyclically like ALL -->1 -->2 -->3...--> 6 -->ALL. Select
an address that matches the address switch setting in the signal receiving unit of the indoor unit to
be controlled.
3. Push i_£f]. The blinking address changes to lighting and is displayed for 5 seconds. When this
address equals the address switch setting in the signal receiving unit, the buzzer sounds.
