• The caution items stated here must be followed because these important contents are related to safety. The meaning of each indication used is as below.
  Incorrect installation due to the non-observance of the instructions will cause harm or damage, and the seriousness is classified by the following indications.

	This indication shows the possibility of causing death or serious injury.
	This indication shows the possibility of causing injury or damage to properties only.

The items to be followed are classified by the symbols:

	Symbol with white background denotes item that is PROHIBITED from doing.
	Symbol with dark background denotes item that must be carried out.

• Perform a functional test to confirm that no abnormality occurs after the installation. Then, explain the operation, care and maintenance to user as stated in instructions. Please remind the customer to keep the operating instructions and installation instruction for future reference.

	Do not modify the length of the remote controller cable. Otherwise, it will cause fire or electrical shock.
	Be sure to turn off the main power before installing and connecting the remote controller. Otherwise, it will cause electrical shock.
	Engage an authorized dealer or specialist for installation. If installation done by the user is defective, it will cause electrical shock or fire.
	Install strictly according to these installation instructions. If installation is defective, it will cause electrical shock or fire.
	Use specified accessories and parts for installation. Otherwise, it will cause the set to fall, fire or electrical shock.
	For electrical work, follow the local national wiring standards and regulations, and these installation instructions. Otherwise, it will cause electrical shock or fire.
	Wire routing must be properly arranged so that control board cover is affixed properly. If control board cover is not affixed perfectly, it will cause fire or electrical shock.
	If passing the remote controller cable through a wall, be sure to install a water trap above the cable. Otherwise, it will cause electrical shock.
	Do not touch the sharp aluminium fin of air conditioner unit during wired remote controller installation, sharp parts may cause injury.
	Install on a flat surface to avoid warping of remote controller, or else damage to the LCD case or operation problems may result.
	Avoid installing the remote controller cable near refrigerant pipes or drain pipes, otherwise it will cause electrical shock or fire.
	Install the remote controller cable at least 1 31/32"(5cm) away from electric wires of other appliances to avoid misoperation (electromagnetic noise).
	Be sure to use only the accessory screws to avoid damage of remote controller PCB.

SELECTING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

• Allow suffi cient space around the remote controller as shown in the illustration above.
  
• Install in a place which is away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
• Install on a fl at surface to avoid warping of the remote controller. If installed to a wall with an uneven surface, damage to the LCD case or operation problems may result.
• Install in a place where the LCD can be easily seen for operation. (Standard height from the floor is 3.9ft to 4.9ft (1.2 to 1.5 meters.))
• Avoid installing the remote controller cable near refrigerant pipes or drain pipes, otherwise it will cause electrical shock or fire.

INSTALLING THE REMOTE CONTROLLER UNIT TO THE WALL

1. Remove the remote controller mounting plate. (Insert a flat-tipped screw driver or similar tool 3/32" to 1/8" (2 to 3 mm) into one of the gaps at the bottom of the case, and twist to open. Refer to the illustration at right.)
   Be careful not to damage the mounting plate.
2. Do not remove the protective tape which is affixed to the upper case circuit board when removing the remote controller mounting plate.
3. Secure the mounting plate to an outlet box or wall. Refer to (A) or (B) instructions below depending on your choice of cable installation.
4. Be sure to use only the screws provided.
5. Do not over tighten the screws, as it may result in damage to the mounting plate.
   

1. IF REMOTE CONTROLLER CABLE IS EMBEDDED
   1. Embed an outlet box into the wall. Outlet box may be purchased separately. Medium-sized square outlet box (obtain locally) Part No. DS3744 (Panasonic Corporation) or equivalent.
   2. Secure the remote controller mounting plate to the outlet box with the two accessory screws . Make sure that the mounting plate is fl at against the wall at this time, with no bending.
   3. Pass the remote controller cable into the box.
   4. Route the remote controller cable inside the mounting plate through rear feeding-out direction.
   5. Insert firmly the connector of remote controller cable to connector (CON1) in the upper case circuit board. [Refer to the illustration at below.]
   6. Secure the remote controller upper case to the mounting plate with the tabs provided.
      
      
      When the wall is hollow, please be sure to use the sleeve for remote controller cable to prevent dangers caused by mice biting the cable.
2. IF REMOTE CONTROLLER CABLE IS EXPOSED
   1. Install the remote controller mounting plate to the wall with the two accessory screws .
   2. Fasten the screws properly until screw head is lower than the rib and reach the base of remote controller mounting plate to ensure they do not damage the PCB inside the remote controller .
      
   3. The feeding-out direction for the remote controller cable can be either via top, left or right side.
   4. Use nipper to cut a notch at the upper case. (Select the intended feeding-out position)
   5. Route the remote controller cable inside the mounting plate in accordance with the intended feeding-out direction. (Refer to the illustration at below)
   6. Insert firmly the connector of remote controller cable to connector (CON1) in the upper case circuit board. (Refer to the illustration at below)
   7. Secure the remote controller upper case to the mounting plate with the tabs provided.
      

CONNECTING THE REMOTE CONTROLLER CABLE TO INDOOR UNIT

Be sure to turn off the main power before installing and connecting the remote controller. Otherwise, it will cause electrical shock.

1. Open front grille. (Please refer to HOW TO TAKE OUT FRONT GRILLE in the Service manual.)
   
2. Open the control board cover and terminal board cover.
3. Connect remote controller cable to remote controller and guide the remote controller cable into the unit through the wire insertion hole.
4. Guide the remote controller cable into the remote controller cable holder and tighten with screws . Fasten the remote controller cable holder with screw .
5. Firmly insert the connector of remote controller cable into indoor PCB connector (CN-RMT) and tighten green wire from remote controller cable with screw to the grounding location provided.
6. Reinstall the terminal board cover. Be careful not to clamp the cable between terminal board cover and control board.
7. After completion, reinstall the removed parts by following the reverse procedure.

* Make sure the remote control cable wire is not touching the wire connected to terminal board, as shown
