Common problems

Remote control not responding

Check if batteries are inserted correctly. Ensure you are within 8 meters of the unit and there are no obstacles blocking the signal.

Function button has no effect

The indoor unit may not support that specific function. If the unit does not have the feature, pressing the button will have no effect.

Insufficient cooling or heating

Check if Silence mode is active, as it uses low-frequency compressor operation. Also, ensure the set temperature is appropriate for the mode.

Before use

  • Insert two R03/LR03 3.0V batteries.
  • Ensure the air conditioner is plugged in and power is available.
  • Remove any obstacles (curtains, furniture) between the remote and the unit.
  • Verify the remote is within 8 meters of the indoor unit.
