8-6. EMERGENCY/TEST OPERATION In the case of test run operation or emergency operation, use EMERGENCY OPERATION switch on the right side of the indoor unit. Emergency operation is available when the remote controller is missing or has failed, or when the batteries in the remote controller are running down.
TROUBLESHOOTING MSZ-WR09NA MSZ-WR12NA MSZ-WR18NA MSZ-WR24NA 9-1. CAUTIONS ON TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Before troubleshooting, check the following 1) Check the power supply voltage. 2) Check the indoor/outdoor connecting wire for miswiring. 2. Take care of the following during servicing 1) Before servicing the air conditioner, be sure to turn OFF the unit first with the remote controller, and then after confirm- ing the horizontal vane is closed, turn OFF the breaker and/or disconnect the power plug.
