Setting the Timer Functions

Your air conditioning unit has two timer-related functions:
TIMER ON - sets the amount of timer after which the unit will automatically turn on.
TIMER OFF - sets the amount of time after which the unit will automatically turn off.

TIMER ON function

The TIMER ON function allows you to set a period of time after which the unit will automatically turn on, such as when you come home from work.

  1. Press the TIMER ON button. By default, the last time period that you set and an "h" (indicating hours) will appear on the display.

    This number indicates the amount of time after the current time that you want the unit to turn on. For example, if you set TIMER ON for 2 hours, "2.0h" will appear on the screen, and the unit will turn on after 2 hours.
  2. Press the TIMER ON button repeatedly to set the time when you want the unit to turn on.

When setting the TIMER ON or TIMER OFF functions

NOTE
When setting the TIMER ON or TIMER OFF functions, up to 10 hours, the time will increase in 30 minute increments with each press. After 10 hours and up to 24, it will increase in 1 hour increments. The timer will revert to zero after 24 hours. You can turn off either function by setting its timer to "0.0h".

Setting both TIMER ON and TIMER OFF at the same time

Keep in mind that the time periods you set for both functions refer to hours after the current time. For example, say that the current time is 1:00 PM, and you want the unit to turn on automatically at 7:00 PM. You want it to operate for 2 hours, then automatically turn off at 9:00 PM.

Do the following (side figure):
