ADDRESS switch • The address switch changes to prevent mixing of signals from remote control units when two air conditioners are installed next to each other.

Normally, the address switch is set to A. For more information, please contact the dealer where you made the purchase.

• Normally, the tabs on the remote control unit should not be bent.

S/M (Single/Multiple switch) • Initially, the S/M switch is set to S (Single).

• Set this switch to M (Multiple) for multiple operation.

• Always press ACL button by a thin object such as the tip of a pen after setting the S/M switch.

NOTE When multiple indoor units are used and units in other rooms are already operating, they will be set to the same mode of operation as the operating indoor units.

NOTE The remote control unit sends the temperature signal to the air conditioner regularly at five minute intervals. If the signal from the remote control unit stops for more than 15 minutes due to the loss of the remote control unit or other trouble, the air conditioner will switch to the temperature sensor which is built into the indoor unit and control the room temperature. In these cases, the temperature around the remote control unit may differ from the temperature detected at the air conditioner’s position.
