General information
à The unit is programmed using an infrared remote
control. It can also be used to switch the unit on and
off.
à The remote control must be protected from moisture.
à When the unit is switched on, each change to the
settings is transferred to the indoor unit. A beep indi-
cates that the data has been correctly received.
à The remote control transmitter must be pointed in
the direction of the air-conditioner for changes to the
settings.
à It is only possible for data to be properly received if
there are no objects, for example, doors, curtains,
drapes, etc. between the transmitter and receiver.
The following appears on the display:
à Direct sunlight on the remote control or receiver can
affect signal transmission and thus have a negative
effect on operation.
à The user knows that the batteries are dead when the
display is not working properly or the battery status
indicates this on the display.
G Never use new and used batteries together! We
recommend removing the batteries if the unit is
taken out of operation for a longer period of time.
The receiver on the indoor unit
The receiver is located in one side of the air outlet grille.
It consists of the infrared sensor, the three display lights
and the emergency button.
Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the
batteries. Use the labelling in the slot. Close the battery
slot again. Once the reset button (20) (see page 12) is
pressed, the remote control is ready for operation.
G
Remove dead batteries immediately and replace
them with new ones that have the required quality
because otherwise there is a danger of leakage.
For normal operation, batteries last about a year,
the equivalent of one cooling season.
à When transmitting data, the distance between the
transmitter and receiver may not exceed 5 m.
à The air-conditioner can only process signals that oc-
cur within an angle of 120° on the surface of the in-
frared sensor.
