• The remote controller is powered OFF.
• Hold down (1∼4) button on the remote controller for 2 seconds to enter the pairing mode.
• Press (1∼4) button again and assign a number to each remote controller. Each press of (1∼4) button advances the number in the following order: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4.
• Press the button to complete the pairing setting.
  After you turn the breaker ON, the remote controller that first sends a signal to an indoor unit will be regarded as the remote controller for the indoor unit. Once they are set, the indoor unit will only receive the signal from the assigned remote controller afterward.

SELECTING OPERATION MODES

AUTO mode (Auto changeover)

The unit selects the operation mode according to the difference between the room temperature and the set temperature. During AUTO mode, the unit changes mode (COOL↔HEAT) when the room temperature is about 2°C away from the set temperature for more than 15 minutes.

Note:
Auto Mode is not recommended if this indoor unit is connected to a MXZ type outdoor unit. When several indoor units are operated simultaneously, the unit may not be able to switch operation mode between COOL and HEAT. In this case, the indoor unit becomes standby mode (Refer to table of Operation indicator lamp).

COOL mode

Enjoy cool air at your desired temperature.

Note:
Do not operate COOL mode at very low outside temperatures (less than -10°C). Water condensed in the unit may drip and wet or damage furniture, etc.

DRY mode

Dehumidify your room. The room may be cooled slightly. Temperature cannot be set during DRY mode.

HEAT mode
