1. Important Safety Instructions
Before using the system, be sure to read these "Important Safety Instructions".
After reading this manual, save it in a convenient place.

Warning
* Installation Precautions
1. Do not install by yourself.
Installation should always be performed by your dealer or a professional service provider.
Electric shock or fire may result if an inexperienced person performs any installation or wiring
procedures incorrectly.
2. Use only specified air conditioners.
Always use only air conditions specified by the dealer.

* Moving and Repair Precautions

1. Do not repair.
Never repair the system by yourself.
2. Contact your dealer before moving the system.
Contact your dealer or a professional service provider about moving and reinstalling the system.
Electric shock or fire may result if an inexperienced person performs any installation procedures incorrectly.
1
* Precautions for Use
1. Do not touch switches with wet hands.
Electric shock and damage to the system can result.
2. Protect the remote controller from water. 2
Damage to the system can result.
3. Stop the system and turn the power off if you sense unusual smells or other irregularities.
Continuing operation when the system is out of order can result in electric shock, fire, and damage to the
system. Contact your dealer.
4. Do not turn the air conditioner on and off from the power mains switch. 3
Use the ON/OFF operation button.
5. Do not stick anything into the air outlet of the air conditioner.
Doing so is dangerous because the fan is rotating at high speed.
6. Do not let children play with the air conditioner.
7. Do not cool or heat the room too much if babies or invalids are present. 4
8. Do not wipe the remote controller with benzine, thinner, or chemical cloth.

3. Outing Function
Outing function is a function that prevents the room temperature from increasing too much (or decreasing too much)
when no one is in the room. An air conditioner works automatically if this function is set effective.
General Performance of the Outing Function

[Precautions]
• The outing control only starts/stops the air conditioner.
1 It does not change the operation mode/temperature setting.
Therefore, the operation mode/temperature needs to be set beforehand so that the outing function turns on the
air conditioner with your desired operation mode/ temperature setting.
• If the room temperature rapidly changes, the room temperature may get over the upper or lower limit
when the outing function is activated.

2 • The outing function is invalid during FAN/AUTO operation mode.

• The air conditioner's stop order (stated in /above) is valid only when the outing function is operated.
If operated using other remote control unit (or a centralized control device such as a system control),
the outing function does not work.

(The default value of the lower limit temperature is 10 °C.)
* The unit returns to the normal mode if is pressed or there is no operation made for
5 3 minutes during the setting. In this case, all the settings in progress will be lost.

Canceling the outing function

Flashing The outing function is now being set, or under operation.
Lighting Although the outing function is set, not under operation.
7 NOTE
A remote controller loses outing function operation information when it is cut for more than one hour during the
outing function operation by electricity. It reverts from the blackout, and an air conditioner does not drive in outing
function when operation is started. At this time, an air conditioner does not stop at outing function.

Simplified remote controller installation guidelines (Place of installation)

1. Mount the simplified remote controller at a height of 1 to 1.5 meters above the floor where it can sense
the average temperature of the room.
2. Do not mount the simplified remote controller in a place exposed to direct sunlight or a place exposed
to outside air such as near a window.
3. Do not mount the simplified remote controller behind an object so that it is separated from the air
circulation of the room.
4. Mount the simplified remote controller within the room being air conditioned.
5. The simplified remote controller must be mounted on the wall or other surface vertically.
