How to set the remote controller exclusively for particular indoor unit
After you turn the breaker ON, the first remote controller that sends the signal to the indoor unit will be regarded as the remote
controller for the indoor unit.
The indoor unit only accept the signal from the remote controller that has been assigned to the indoor unit once they are set.
The setting will be cancelled if the breaker is turned OFF, or the power supply is shut down.
Please conduct the above setting once again after the power has restored.

8-3. AUTO RESTART FUNCTION
When the indoor unit is controlled with the remote controller, the operation mode, the set temperature, and the fan speed
are memorized by the indoor electronic control P.C. board. “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION” automatically starts operation
in the same mode just before the shutoff of the main power.
Operation
1 If the main power has been cut, the operation settings remain.
2 After the power is restored, the unit restarts automatically according to the memory.
(However, it takes at least 3 minutes for the compressor to start running.)
How to release “AUTO RESTART FUNCTION”
1Turn OFF the main power for the unit.
2Solder the Jumper wire to JR07 on the indoor electronic control
P.C. board. (Refer to 10-7.)
JR07
NOTE :
• The operation settings are memorized when 10 seconds have passed after the indoor unit was operated with the remote
controller.
• If main power is turned OFF or a power failure occurs while AUTO START/STOP timer is active, the timer setting is can-
celled.
• If the unit has been OFF with the remote controller before power failure, the auto restart function does not work as the
power button of the remote controller is OFF.
• To prevent breaker OFF due to the rush of starting current, systematize other home appliance not to turn ON at the
same time.
• When some air conditioners are connected to the same supply system, if they are operated before power failure, the
starting current of all the compressors may flow simultaneously at restart.
Therefore, the special counter-measures are required to prevent the main voltage-drop or the rush of the starting current
by adding to the system that allows the units to start one by one.
8-4. REMOTE CONTROLLER
Be sure to set the slide switch inside the remote controller to an appropriate position in accordance with the installed
position of the indoor unit. If the switch is not set correctly, the air conditioner may not function properly.
