Setting the TIMER function
Your air conditioning unit has two timer-related functions:

• TIMER ON- sets the amount of timer after which the unit will automatically turn on.
• TIMER OFF- sets the amount of time after which the unit will automatically turn off.

TIMER ON function

The TIMER ON function allows you to set a period of time after which the unit will automatically turn on, such as when you come home from work.

1. Press the Timer button, the Timer on the indicator “” displays and flashes. By default, the last time period that you set and an “h” (indicating hours)will appear on the display.
   Note: This number indicates the amount of time after the current time that you want the unit to turn on. For example, if you set TIMER ON for 2.5 hours, ” 2.5h ” will appear on the screen, and the unit will turn on after 2.5 hours.
2. Press the Temp + or Temp – button repeatedly to set the time when you want the unit to turn on.
3. Wait 3 seconds, then the TIMER ON function will be activated. The digital display on your remote control will then return to the temperature display. The “ ” indicator remains on and this function is activated.

Example: Setting unit to turn on after 2.5 hours.

TIMER OFF function

The TIMER OFF function allows you to set a period of time after which the unit will automatically turn off, such as when you wake up.

1. Press the Timer button, the Timer off indicator ” ” displays and flashes. By default, the last time period that you set and an “h” (indicating hours)will appear on the display.
   Note: This number indicates the amount of time after the current time that you want the unit to turn off.
   For example, if you set TIMER OFF for 5 hours, ” 5.0h ” will appear on the screen, and the unit will turn off after 5 hours.
2. Press the Tempt + or Temp – button repeatedly to set the time when you want the unit to turn off.
3. Wait 3 seconds, then the TIMER OFF function will be activated. The digital display on your remote control will then return to the
   temperature display. The ” ” indicator remains on and this function is activated.

Example: Setting unit to turn off after 5 hours.

NOTE:  When setting the TIMER ON or TIMER OFF functions, up to 10 hours, the time will increase in 30-minute increments with each press. After 10 hours and up to 24, it will increase in 1-hour increments. The timer will revert to zero after 24 hours.
You can turn off either function by setting its timer to ” 0.0h “.

Setting both TIMER ON and TIMER OFF at the same time

Keep in mind that the time periods you set for both functions refer to hours after the current time. For example, say that the current time is 1:00 PM, and you want the unit to turn on automatically at 7:00 PM. You want it to operate for 2 hours, then automa­tically turn off at 9:00 PM.

Do the following:

Example: Setting the unit to turn on after 6 hours, operate for 2 hours, then turn off (see the figure below)

How To Use The Advanced Functions

SLEEP Function
The SLEEP function is used to decrease energy use while you sleep (and don’t need the same temperature settings to stay comfortable). This function can only be activated via remote control. For the detail, see” sleep operation^ in “USER’S MANUAL?
Note: The SLEEP function is not available in FAN or DRY mode.

TURBO function
The TURBO function makes the unit work extra hard to reach your present temperature in the shortest amount of time possible.

• When you select the TURBO feature in COOL mode, the unit will blow cool air with the strongest wind setting to jump-start the cooling process.

SELF CLEAN function
Airborne bacteria can grow in the moisture that condenses around the heat exchanger in the unit. With regular use, most of this moisture is evaporated from the unit. When the self-clean feature is activated, your unit will clean itself automatically. After cleaning, the unit will turn off automatically.

You can use the self-clean feature as often as you like.
Note: You can only activate this function in COOL or DRY mode.

LOCK function
Press the Turbo button and Blow button simultaneously for one second to lock or unlock the keyboard.

FOLLOW ME function
The follow-me function enables the remote control to measure the temperature at its current location and send this signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes interval. When using AUTO, COOL modes, measuring ambient temperature from the remote control (instead of from the indoor unit itself) will enable the air conditioner to optimize the temperature around you and ensure maximum comfort.

SWING function

Swing Button
Used to stop or start vertical louver movement and set the desired left/right airflow direction. The vertical louver changes 6 degrees in angle for each press. If keep pushing for more than 2 seconds, the vertical louver auto swing feature is activated.

Swing Button
Used to stop or start horizontal louver movement or set the desired up/down airflow direction. The louver changes 6 degrees in angle for each press. If keep pushing for more than 2 seconds, the louver will swing up and down automatically.

Silence function
Hold down the Fan button for 2 seconds to activate/cancel Silent mode. Due to the low-frequency operation of the compressor, it may result in insufficient cooling and heating capacity. (applicable to the air conditioner with Silent feature only)

SHORTCUT function

• Used to restore the current settings or resume previous settings.
• Push this button when the remote controller is on, the system will automatically revert back to the previous settings including operating mode, setting temperature, fan speed level, and sleep feature (if activated).
• If pushing for more than 2 seconds, the system will automatically restore the current operation settings including operating mode, setting temperature, fan speed level, and sleep feature (if activated ).
