NOTE: The indoor unit may have been connected to a non-low-standby-power model outdoor unit. To use a low-standby-power
model, clear the error history by referring to "Deleting the memorized abnormal condition" described in 10-2.1. When the
error history is being cleared, the connection information also will be initialized. The indoor unit will be compatible with a
low-standby-power model after initialization. If the operation indicator lamp continues to blink as shown in No.1 after the
procedure, refer to 10-6.

non-low-standby-power model.
The indoor coil or the room temperature ther-
mistor is short or open circuit.
The rotational frequency feedback signal is
not emitted during the indoor fan operation.
It cannot properly read data in the nonvolatile
memory of the indoor electronic control P.C.
board.
It consecutively occurs 3 times that the com-
pressor stops for overcurrent protection or
start-up failure protection within 1 minute after
start-up.
The outdoor thermistors short or open circuit
during the compressor operation.
It cannot properly read data in the nonvolatile
memory of the inverter P.C. board or the out-
