This document is a user manual for the MAXA Tredis series split-type room air conditioner remote controller. It provides detailed instructions on how to use the remote control, its functions, and important technical specifications.

Remote Controller Specifications

The remote controller is compatible with several MAXA air conditioner models, including RG10B(E)/BGEF, RG10B(E1)/BGEFU1, RG10B1(E)/BGEF, RG10B2(E)/BGCEF, RG10B10(E)/BGEF, RG10A4(E)/BGEF, RG10A4(E1)/BGEFU1, RG10A5(E)/BGEF, RG10A5(E1)/BGEFU1, RG10A5(E1)/BGCEFU1, RG10A5(E)/BGCEF, and RG10A11(E)/BGEF.

It operates on a rated voltage of 3.0V, powered by two R03/LR03 dry cell batteries. The signal receiving range is up to 8 meters, and it can operate in ambient conditions ranging from -5°C to 60°C (23°F to 140°F).

Handling the Remote Controller

Inserting and Replacing Batteries: To use the remote control, insert two R03/LR03 dry cell batteries.

Slide the back cover downwards to expose the battery compartment.
Insert the batteries, ensuring the (+) and (-) ends match the symbols inside the compartment.
Slide the battery cover back into place.

Battery Notes:

Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types.
Remove batteries if the remote control will not be used for more than 2 months to prevent leakage.
Dispose of batteries according to local laws, not as unsorted municipal waste.

Tips for Using the Remote Control:

The remote control should be used within 8 meters of the indoor unit.
The indoor unit will emit a beep when it receives a signal from the remote.
Curtains, other materials, and direct sunlight can interfere with the infrared signal receiver.
If the remote is not used for more than 2 months, remove the batteries.

FCC Compliance (for USA): This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) it may not cause harmful interference, and (2) it must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Buttons and Functions

The remote controller features several buttons for various operations:

ON/OFF: Turns the unit on or off.
TEMP ▲/▼: Increases or decreases the set temperature in 1°C (1°F) increments. The maximum temperature is 30°C (86°F), and the minimum is 17°C (62°F). For model RG10B(E1)/BGEFU1, pressing both buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds alternates the temperature display between °C and °F.
MODE: Scrolls through operation modes: AUTO → COOL → DRY → HEAT → FAN. Note that HEAT mode is not supported by cooling-only appliances.

OK: Confirms selected functions.
TIMER: Sets the timer to turn the unit on or off.
SHORTCUT: Restores current or previous settings.
SWING: Starts and stops horizontal louver movement. Holding it for 2 seconds activates vertical louver auto swing.
FAN SPEED: Selects fan speeds: AUTO → LOW → MED → HIGH. Holding it for 2 seconds activates the Silence feature.
TURBO: Enables the unit to reach the preset temperature in the shortest possible time.
LED: Turns the indoor unit's LED display and buzzer on or off, creating a quiet environment.
CLEAN: Starts or stops the Self Clean function.
ECO (for some models): Enters energy-efficient mode (available only in COOL mode).

TIMER ON/OFF Display: Shows when the timer is set to turn the unit on or off.
Silence Feature Display: Appears when Silence feature is active.
FAN SPEED Display: Shows the selected fan speed (LOW, MED, HIGH, AUTO). Fan speed cannot be adjusted in AUTO or DRY mode.
Temperature/Timer/Fan Speed Display: Shows the set temperature (17-30°C / 62-86°F or 20-28°C depending on model), timer setting (0-24 hours), or fan speed. This display is blank in FAN mode.

How to Use Basic Functions

AUTO Mode:

Press MODE to select AUTO.
Set desired temperature using TEMP ▲/▼.
Press ON/OFF to start the unit. Note: Fan speed cannot be set in AUTO mode.

COOL Mode:

Press MODE to select COOL.
Set desired temperature using TEMP ▲/▼.

How to Use Advanced Functions

Swing Function:

Press SWING to start/stop horizontal louver movement.
Hold SWING for 2 seconds to activate vertical louver auto swing (model dependent).

LED Display:

Press LED to turn the indoor unit's display on or off.
Hold LED for 5 seconds (some units) to display the actual room temperature. Hold again for 5 seconds to revert to the set temperature display.

Silence Function (some units):

Hold FAN button for 2 seconds to activate/deactivate Silence function.
This mode may reduce cooling/heating capacity due to low compressor frequency.
Press ON/OFF, MODE, SLEEP, TURBO, or CLEAN to cancel Silence function.

ECO Function (some units):

Press ECO to enter energy-efficient mode (COOL mode only).
In COOL mode, if the set temperature is below 24°C/75°F, the remote automatically adjusts to 24°C/75°F and AUTO fan speed. If the set temperature is 24°C/75°F or above, fan speed changes to AUTO, but temperature remains unchanged.
ECO operation stops if ECO is pressed again, mode is changed, or temperature is set below 24°C/75°F.

FP Function (Heat Pump Air Conditioners Only):

When the remote is on, pressing SHORTCUT restores previous settings (mode, temperature, fan speed, sleep feature).
Holding SHORTCUT for more than 2 seconds restores current operating settings.

Clean Function:

Press CLEAN to start the Self Clean function. The unit will clean itself and then turn off automatically.
Pressing CLEAN mid-cycle cancels the operation and turns off the unit.
This function is only available in COOL or DRY mode.

TURBO Function:

In COOL mode, TURBO blows powerful cool air for rapid cooling.
In HEAT mode (for units with electric heating elements), TURBO activates the electric heater for rapid heating.

Follow Me Function:

The remote measures the temperature at its current location and sends this signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes.
In AUTO, COOL, or HEAT modes, this optimizes temperature around the user for maximum comfort.
Hold TURBO for 7 seconds to start/stop memory for Follow Me. "On" or "OF" (Off) displays for 3 seconds.
While memory is active, pressing ON/OFF, changing mode, or power failure will not cancel Follow Me.
