Read Before Operation • Do not sit on the outdoor unit, put things on the unit, or pull the unit. Doing so may cause accidents, such as falling or toppling down, thus resulting in injury, product malfunctioning, or product damage. • Do not place objects that are susceptible to moisture directly beneath the indoor or outdoor units. Under certain conditions, condensation on the main unit or refrigerant pipes, air filter dirt or drain blockage may cause dripping, resulting in fouling or failure of the object concerned. • After prolonged use, check the unit stand and its mounts for damage. If they are left in a damaged condition, the unit may fall and cause injury. • To avoid injury, do not touch the air inlet or aluminium fins of the indoor or outdoor units. • The appliance is not intended for use by unattended young children or infirm persons. Impairment of bodily functions and harm to health may result. • Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the unit or its remote controller. Accidental operation by a child may result in impairment of bodily functions and harm health. • Avoid impacts to the indoor and outdoor units, or otherwise product damage may result. • Do not place flammable items, such as spray cans, within 1m of the air outlet. The spray cans may explode as a result of hot air from the indoor or outdoor units. • Be careful not to let pets urinate on the air conditioner. Urination on the air conditioner may result in electric shock or fire. • Do not wash the air conditioner with water, as this may result in electric shock or fire. • Do not place water containers (vases, etc.) above the unit, as this may result in electric shock or fire hazards if they should topple over. • Do not insert the batteries in the wrong polarity (+/-) orientation as this may result in short circuiting, fire, or battery leakage. • Do not sit or hang on the panel. The panel may fall, and injury or product malfunctioning may result. • Do not sway the panel. The panel may hit people or objects, and injury or property damage may result. • Do not let children play around the panel. Injury or property damage may result. • Do not pull the wires. The wires may be broken and the panel may fall, and injury or property damage may result.

Page 16
Useful Functions INTELLIGENT EYE Operation NOTE Energy saving operation • If no presence detected in the room for 20 minutes, the energy saving operation will start, and the INTELLIGENT EYE lamp goes off. If human movement is detected again, the INTELLIGENT EYE lamp lights up and energy saving operation terminates. • This operation changes the temperature by −2°C in HEAT / +2°C in COOL / +2°C in DRY operation from the set temperature. When the room temperature exceeds 30°C, the operation changes the temperature by +1°C in COOL / +1°C in DRY operation from the set temperature. • This operation decreases the airflow rate slightly in FAN operation only. Notes on INTELLIGENT EYE operation • Application range is as follows. Horizontal Vertical angle 90° angle 110° (Side view) 55° 55° (Top view) 90° • The air conditioner may switch to the energy-saving operation even if there are people in the areas. This may occur depending on the clothes the people are wearing, if there is no movement of the people in the areas. • Due to the position of the sensor, people might be exposed to the airflow of the indoor unit if they are close to the front side of the indoor unit. • The sensor could also mistakenly detect pets, sunlight, fluttering curtains and light reflected off of mirrors as passers-by. • The sensor may not detect moving objects further than 7m away. (Please see the application range) • Sensor detection sensitivity changes according to the indoor unit location, the speed of passers-by, temperature range, etc. • NIGHT SET mode Page 21 will not switch on during use of INTELLIGENT EYE operation.
