● Two remote controllers can connect to the system. In that case, the remote controllers
will work as master and sub remote controllers respectively.
The sub remote controller is the same in function as the master remote controller
except for time and day settings, which can be set in the master remote controller only.
● The settings in the master remote controller are reflected in the sub remote controller
and vice versa.

NOTE
■ Tips for saving energy.
● Be careful not to cool the room too much.
Keeping the temperature setting at a moderate level helps save energy.
● Cover windows with a blind or a curtain.
Blocking sunlight and air from outdoors increases the cooling effect.
■ Please note.
● The air conditioner always consumes a small amount of electricity even while it is not operating.
● If you are not going to use the air conditioner for a long period, for example in spring or autumn,
turn the breaker OFF. When air conditioning is required ensure the breaker is switched on 6 hours
before operating the air conditioning system.

● The volume of air is selectable from two levels while

the air conditioner is in either normal mode or AUTO
fan mode.

■ Note on HEAT operation

● Since this air conditioner heats the room by absorbing the heat from outdoor air and releasing
the heat to the indoors, the heating capacity drops in lower outdoor temperatures.
● The heat pump system heats the room by circulating hot air around all parts of the room.
After the start of heating operation, it takes some time before the room sufficiently warms.
● In heating operation, frost may occur on the outdoor unit and lower the heating capacity. In that
case, the system switches into defrosting operation to melt away the frost.
● During defrosting operation, warm air will not flow out of the indoor unit.
■ Note on COOL operation
● This air conditioner cools the room by absorbing the heat from the air within the room and
releases it outside, so if the outside temperature is high, performance drops.
■ Note on DRY operation
● The computer chip works to rid the room of humidity while maintaining the temperature as much
as possible. It automatically controls temperature and fan strength, so manual adjustment of
these functions is unavailable.
■ Note on AUTO COOL/HEAT operation
● In AUTO operation, the system selects an appropriate operation mode (COOL or HEAT) based
on the room temperature at the start of the operation.

LCD while in cooling operation LCD while in heating operation

● The system automatically reselects setting at a regular interval to bring the room temperature to
user-setting level.
■ Note on airflow rate setting
● The fan may stop while the air conditioner is in operation. In that case, if AUTO fan speed has been
selected, the fan will stop for 6 minutes continuously and then operate for 30 seconds or more (depends
on model). This function will occur every 6 minutes only when the room temperature is within the
selected temperature range. The AUTO fan function may not behave in the manner mentioned, in that
case your installer may have selected other fan settings during the commissioning of the controller.
● AUTO fan settings will only operate when the “ ” is selected. When “ ” has
not been selected the AUTO fan function will operate the same as standard low and high speed setting.
● The fan will operate for a period of 30 seconds to allow the temperature controller located in the
indoor unit to sample the room air temperature.

Timer Operation when 2 controllers are connected

● If two remote controllers are connected:
The air conditioner will operate in the following sequence if timer settings are made in both master and sub remote controllers.
Example
Settings in master remote controller (for living room): ON TIMER 1h/OFF TIMER 4h
Settings in sub remote controller (for bedroom): ON TIMER 2h/OFF TIMER 3h

* Timer settings are possible in the master and sub remote controllers respectively.
The air conditioner will operate according to the above sequence if the master and sub remote controllers are set to
different timer settings. Therefore, it is recommended to make timer settings in either one of the remote controller.
