Remote Control Specifications & Quick Start Guide

NOT SURE WHAT A FUNCTION DOES?
Refer to the How to Use Basic Functions and How to Use Advanced Functions sections of this manual for more detailed instructions of how to operate the unit.

SPECIAL NOTE
Button designs on your remote may differ slightly from the example shown.

If the indoor unit is not equipped with a particular function, but your remote controller has
a button for it, pressing that function’s button on the remote control will have no effect.
When there are differences between the “Remote Controller Manual” and the “USER’S
MANUAL” when it comes to function description, the description of “USER’S MANUAL” should take precedence.

Handling the Remote Controller

Inserting and Replacing Batteries
Your air conditioning unit may come with two batteries (some units). Install the batteries in the remote control before use by following the steps below:

Slide the back cover from the remote control downward to expose the battery compartment.
Insert the batteries, making sure to match the (+)
and (-) designations on the end of the batteries with the symbols inside the battery compartment.
Reinstall the back cover by sliding it back into place.

BATTERY NOTES
For optimum product performance:

Do not mix old with new batteries or with batteries of different types.
Do not leave batteries in the remote control if the device will not be used for more than 2 months.

BATTERY DISPOSAL
DO NOT dispose of batteries as unsorted municipal waste. Refer to local laws for proper disposal of batteries.

TIPS FOR USING REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control must be used within 26 ft (8 m) of the unit.
The unit will beep when remote signal is received.
Curtains, other materials, and direct sunlight can interfere with the infrared signal receiver. Remove batteries if the remote will not be used more than 2 months.

When using AUTO, COOL, or, HEAT modes, measuring the ambient temperature from the remote control (instead of from the indoor unit itself) will enable the air conditioner to optimize the temperature where you currently are and ensure maximum comfort.

NOTE:
The air handler may be equipped with AP mode, which allows the unit to use the wireless network configuration. However, the air handler does not respond to the AP mode signal from the remote controller. The wired thermostat must be used to activate this feature if so equipped.
