Getting Started - Install two (2) AAA batteries in the battery compartment
located on the back of the unit.

for operation (refer to Figure 52 for effectiveness). Press the power button
to turn the remote on. The remote will automatically power off after 15
seconds if the buttons are not being pressed. The remote must be on to
control the unit.
POWER Button - Turns remote and unit on and off.
SYSTEM Button - Allows the user to sequentially select the following:
AUTO, COOL, HEAT, and FAN ONLY operations. When the button is
pressed, the display indicates which mode has been selected via a display
message. Note that when the heating function is not available, the system
will automatically skip the HEAT mode.
FAN MODE Button - Selects between automatic (AUTO FAN) or
CONTINUOUS operation. In the AUTO FAN mode, the fan only turns on
and off when the compressor operates or the heat function is enabled.
NOTE: AUTO FAN is not available in the FAN ONLY Mode, the display
indicates CONTINUOUS. In the CONTINUOUS mode, fan speed
is determined by your selection on the FAN SPEED button.
FAN SPEED Button - Used to sequentially select new fan speed,
plus AUTO operation. When the FAN SPEED button is pressed, the
fan speed icon (triangle) changes to indicate the new speed level. Fan
speed automatically varies depending on the set temperature on the
control panel and the actual room temperature. For example, if there
is a big difference between your set temperature and the actual room
temperature, the system fan speed increases to HIGH. It remains at
this speed until the room temperature matches the set temperature.
UP and DOWN Arrows - Pressing either the UP or DOWN button
changes the desired room temperature. The factory preset lower and
upper limits are 60 °F (16 °C) and 99 °F (37 °C). These buttons are also
used to navigate between function options when using the User Menu
or Maintenance Mode.
Remote Effectiveness
Handheld Remote - Has an operating range of up to 25 ft. The infrared
remote control signal must have a clear path to transmit the command to
the air conditioning unit. The remote signal has some ability to “bounce”
off of walls and furniture similar to a television remote control. The diagram
below shows the typical operating range of the control in a standard room
with 8 ft high ceilings.
