controller) with a wet hand.

DANGER
• For refrigerant leakage, consult your dealer.
Refrigerant gas is heavier than air and replaces oxygen. A massive leak could lead to oxygen depletion, especially in basements,
and an asphyxiation hazard could occur leading to serious injury or death.
• Refrigerant gas may produce a toxic gas if it comes in contact with fire such as from a fan heater, stove or cooking device. Exposure
to this gas could cause severe injury or death.
• Any abnormalities in the operation of the air conditioner such as smoke or fire could result in severe injury or death.
Turn off the power and contact your dealer immediately for instructions.
• Do not install the unit in an area where flammable materials are present due to risk of explosion resulting in serious injury or death.
• If equipment utilizing a burner is used in the same room as the air conditioner, there is the danger of oxygen deficiency which could
lead to an asphyxiation hazard resulting in serious injury or death.
Be sure to ventilate the room sufficiently to avoid this hazard.
• Safely dispose of the packing materials.
Packing materials, such as nails and other metal or wooden parts, may cause stabs or other injuries. Tear apart and throw away
plastic packaging bags so that children will not play with them. Children playing with plastic bags face the danger of death by
suffocation.

WARNING
• It is not good for health to expose your body to the air flow for a long time.
• Do not put your finger or other objects into the air outlet or inlet as the fan is rotating at high speed and could cause injury. Always
keep small children away from the unit during operation.
• Do not attempt to repair, relocate, modify or reinstall the air conditioner by yourself. Incorrect work or modifications could cause
electric shocks, fire or other damage.
For repairs and reinstallation, consult your Daikin dealer for advice and information.

NOTE
„ Notes on batteries
• When replacing the batteries, use batteries of the same type, and replace both batteries at the same time.
• When the system is not used for a long time, take the batteries out.
• The batteries will last for approximately 1 year. If the remote controller display begins to fade and the degradation of reception performance
occurs within a year, however, replace both batteries with new, size AAA.LR03 (alkaline).
• The attached batteries are provided for the initial use of the system.
The usable period of the batteries may be short depending on the manufactured date of the air conditioner.
„ Notes on remote controller
• Never expose the remote controller to direct sunlight.
• Dust on the signal transmitter or receiver will reduce the sensitivity. Wipe off dust with a soft cloth.
• Signal communication may be disabled if an electronic-starter-type fluorescent lamp (such as inverter-type lamps) is in the room. Consult the
shop if that is the case.
• If the remote controller signals happen to operate another appliance, move that appliance somewhere else, or consult the service shop.
„ Celsius/Fahrenheit display change function of remote controller
• The set temperature may increase when the display is changed to Celsius from Fahrenheit, because a fraction of 0.5°C is rounded up.
• Example: A set temperature of 65°F (equivalent to 18.5°C) will be converted into 19°C.
When the display is changed to Fahrenheit again, the set temperature will be converted into 66°F (equivalent to 19°C) instead of the
original set temperature (65°F) but a set temperature of 66°F (equivalent to 19°C) will be converted into 19°C with no temperature change.
• A reception sound will go off for the transmission of set temperature to the indoor unit at the time of setting the Celsius/Fahrenheit display change function.

NOTE
MODE Notes on each operation mode
• Since this air conditioner heats the room by taking heat from outdoor air to indoors, the heating capacity becomes smaller in lower outdoor
temperatures. If the heating effect is insufficient, it is recommended to use another heating appliance in combination with the air conditioner.
• The heat pump system heats the room by circulating hot air around all parts of the room. After the start of HEAT operation, it takes
HEAT
some time before the room gets warmer.
• In HEAT operation, frost may occur on the outdoor unit and lower the heating capacity. In that case, the system switches into
defrosting operation to take away the frost.
• During defrosting operation, hot air does not flow out of indoor unit.
• This air conditioner cools the room by releasing the heat in the room outside. Therefore, the cooling performance of the air
COOL
conditioner may be degraded if the outdoor temperature is high.
• The computer chip works to rid the room of humidity while maintaining the temperature as much as possible. It automatically

Otherwise, they will enter the standby state, and the OPERATION
lamp will flash: this does not indicate malfunction.

NOTE Outdoor unit

„ Notes on operation mode for multi system

• COOL, DRY and FAN operation may be used at the same time.
• AUTO operation automatically selects COOL operation or HEAT operation based on the room temperature.
Therefore, AUTO operation is available when selecting the same operation mode as that of the room with the first unit to be turned on.

CAUTION
• Normally, the operation mode in the room where the unit is first run is given priority, but the following situations are exceptions, so please keep this
in mind.
If the operation mode of the first room is FAN operation, then using HEAT operation in any room after this will give priority to HEAT operation. In
this situation, the air conditioner running in FAN operation will go on standby, and the OPERATION lamp will flash.

With the priority room setting active.

Refer to “Priority room setting” on the next page.

„ NIGHT QUIET mode (Available only for COOL operation)

NIGHT QUIET mode requires initial programming during installation. Please consult your retailer or dealer for assistance.
NIGHT QUIET mode reduces the operation noise of the outdoor unit during the nighttime hours to prevent annoyance to
neighbors.
• The NIGHT QUIET mode is activated when the temperature drops 10.8°F (6°C) or more below the highest temperature recorded that day.
Therefore, when the temperature difference is less than 7.2°F (4°C), this function will not be activated.
• NIGHT QUIET mode reduces slightly the cooling efficiency of the unit.

Priority when POWERFUL operation is used

[Example]
• Room A is the priority room in the examples.
The indoor units in rooms A, B, C and D are all operating. If the unit in room A enters POWERFUL operation, operation
capacity will be concentrated in room A. In such a case, the cooling (heating) efficiency of the units in room B, C and D may
be slightly reduced.
