Installation

Can be put on the floor or the desk.
Rooms exposed to
direct sunlight.This
may cause remote
failure.
Rooms with fluorescent light,
especially inverter typeThis
may cause remote
failure. Keep away
from the light or try
a different direction.
Set the unit in line with air quality required.
㧖In rooms with small dust and smells such as smoke - install over 1m above floor.
㧖In rooms with larger dust, such as pollen - install near floor.
Keep more than 1 metre from television and
radio to prevent interference.
Avoid places with wind blowing on the sensor.
This may cause malfunction.
Do not use the remote control in the following places
Installation hints
Dust sensor is on
bottom right. Keep
away from walls
and furniture.
Do not place near curtains,
which may be soiled or
cause malfunction.
Choose a well-ventilated place. Air conditioning, as
pictured at right,
improves ventilation
and enhances dust
sensor performance.
Avoid placing in the vicinity of
smokers, since such fumes quickly
disable the unit.

mode: sets airflow according to air quality. (does not switch to turbo operation)
Anti Allergy (AA) mode: alternates airflow automatically.
Manual mode: runs at selected airflow irrespective of air quality.

.Q Turbo
Main unit cannot set timer, negative ions or cleanness level light. Use remote.
If sensor detects clean air quality for 30 minutes consecutively, 'Low' airflow is set and the
UV light extinguishes.
In auto mode the dust and gas sensors monitor air quality. These record quality in by the
3 stages of cleanness light and adjust airflow accordingly. (Unit operates at the higher of
the two readings)
Since sensor sensitivity varies according to the condition of the room, adjust sensors as
required between 'Lo' and 'Hi'
(Factory setting is 'Lo')
࡮Dust sensor
Detects airborne particles such as pollen, domestic dust, tick bodies and droppings
and smoke.
Dust quantity differs from visible dust, so the cleanness level light indication may
appear different from that expected.
࡮Gas sensor
Detects airborne gases such as kitchen rubbish, toilet, pet and smoke smells. (May
also react to rapid changes in temperature or humidity)
The sensor may react to, for example, makeup, but this does not cause failure of the
unit.
