7-1. TIMER SHORT MODE
For service, set time can be shortened by short circuit of JPG and JPS the indoor electronic control P.C. board.
The time will be shortened as follows. (Refer to 9-7.)
Set time : 1-minute 1-second
Set time : 3-minute 3-second (It takes 3 minutes for the compressor to start operation. However, the starting time is
shortened by short circuit of JPG and JPS.)
7-2. P.C. BOARD MODIFICATION FOR INDIVIDUAL OPERATION
A maximum of 4 indoor units with wireless remote controllers can be used in a room.
In this case, to operate each indoor unit individually by each remote controller, P.C. boards of remote controller must be
modified according to the number of the indoor unit.
How to modify the remote controller P.C. board
Remove batteries before modification.
The board has a print as shown below :
NOTE : For modification, take out the batteries and
press the OPERATE/STOP (ON/OFF) but-
ton twice or 3 times at first.
After finish modification, put back the bat-
teries then press the RESET button.

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 will 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 has turned OFF, or the power supply has shut down.
Please conduct the above setting once again after the power has restored.
10
7-3. 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
If the main power has been cut, the operation settings remain.
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”
Turn off the main power of the unit.
Solder the Jumper wire JR07 on the indoor electronic control P.C. board. (Refer to 9-7.)
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
cancelled.
• 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.
7-4. 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.

8-9. EMERGENCY/TEST OPERATION
In case of test run operation or emergency operation, use EMERGENCY OPERATION switch on the right side of the
indoor unit. Emergency operation is available when the remote controller is missing, has failed or the batteries of the
remote controller run down. The unit will start and AREA lamp will light.
The first 30 minutes of operation is the test run operation. This operation is for servicing. The indoor fan runs at High
speed and thermostat is ON, but temperature control does not work.
After 30 minutes of test run operation, the system shifts to EMERGENCY COOL/HEAT MODE with a set temperature of
75°F (24°C). The fan speed shifts to Med.
All protective operations such as the coil frost prevention works even in emergency operation.
In the test run or emergency operation, the horizontal vane operates in VANE AUTO (
) mode.
Emergency operation continues until EMERGENCY OPERATION switch is pressed once or twice or the unit receives any
signal from the remote controller. In case of latter, normal operation will start.
NOTE : Do not press EMERGENCY OPERATION switch during normal operation.
