7. FUNCTIONS 7-1. Operation Functions Emergency operation Emergency operation is available when the remote controller malfunctions, has been lost, or otherwise cannot be used. To operate the system, press the OPERATION button, which is also used as the receiver, below the unit display. Each time this button is pressed, the OPERATION lamp changes color to indicate the type of operation.
The main unit display lamp also becomes dimmer. COOL and DRY modes When the night setback mode is selected, the air conditioner automatically raises the temperature setting 2°F(1°C) when 30 minutes have passed after the selection was made, and then another 2°F(1°C) after another 30 minutes have passed,...
When the temperature drops to below 36°F(2°C) (continuously for 2 minutes or longer), the compressor stops. Once the freeze condition is detected, the air conditioner will work less than the maximum frequency until it is turned off. NOTE...
Follow the procedure below to perform diagnostics. PROCEDURE After turning on power to the air conditioner, use the remote controller and follow the steps below to execute self-diagnostics. Step 1: Press and hold the remote controller ION button and 1 HR TIMER button.

DC motor will trip and voltage output will stop approximately 1 minute after operation is started. For this reason, to measure the voltage again, turn OFF the unit once using the remote controller, and then start the air conditioner again. [Trouble symptom 1] The fan does not stop when the unit stops.
8-5. Noise Malfunction and Electromagnetic Interference An inverter A/C operates using pulse signal control and high frequencies. Therefore, it is susceptible to the effects of external noise, and is likely to cause electromagnetic interference with nearby wireless devices. A noise filter is installed for ordinary use, preventing these problems. However, depending on the installation conditions, these effects may still occur.

If the signal from the remote control unit stops for more than 15 minutes due to the loss of the remote control unit or other trouble, the air conditioner will switch to the temperature sensor which is built into the indoor unit and control the room temperature. In these cases, the temperature around the remote control unit may differ from the temperature detected at the air conditioner’s position.
