REMOTE CONTROL

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage. Handle the
control with care and avoid getting the control wet.
IMPORTANT: The wireless remote control can operate the unit from a
distance of up to 26 ft. (8 m) as long as there are no obstructions.
NOTE: If a wireless remote controller is used, relocate the IR
(Infrared) receiver within the line of sight of the remote
location using the 6 ft. cable (included). The factory location
of the IR receiver is inside the control box. An authorized
technician should perform this work.
When the timer function is used, the remote control should be kept in the
vicinity of the unit (within 26 ft. (8 m).
The remote control can perform the following basic functions:
• Turn the system ON and OFF
• Select the operating mode
• Adjust room air temperature set point and fan speed
Refer to the "WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL" on page 4 for a
detailed description of all the capabilities of the remote control.
Battery Installation
Two AAA 1.5v alkaline batteries (included) are required to operate the
remote control.
To install or replace batteries:
1. Slide the back cover off the control to open the battery compartment.
2. Insert the batteries. Follow the polarity markings inside the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
NOTES:
1. When replacing batteries, do not use old batteries or a different
type of battery. This may cause the remote control to malfunction.
2. If the remote is not going to be used for several weeks, remove the
batteries. Otherwise, battery leakage may damage the remote
control.
3. The average battery life under normal use is about 6 months.
4. Replace the batteries when there is no audible beep from the
indoor unit or if the Transmission Indicator fails to light.
5. When batteries are removed, the remote control erases all
programmed settings. The control must be reprogrammed after
the insertion of new batteries.
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.

Manual Operation
If the remote control is lost, damaged, or the batteries are exhausted,
MANUAL can be used to run the unit. When MANUAL is pressed once, the
AUTO mode takes affect (heat or cool). When this button is pressed twice,
the system enters the TEST mode and runs for 30 minutes in the COOLING
mode (it will run in the AUTO mode afterward). When pressed three times,
the system turns OFF.
