valves are fully open. 
2.8.1 Settlement of outdoor unit 
●  Anchor the outdoor unit with a bolt and nut         
(φ10mm) tightly and horizontally on a concrete or 
rigid mount. 
●  When installing on a wall, roof or rooftop, 
anchor the mounting base securely. 
●  In the case when the vibration of the unit is 
conveyed to the connecting pipes, secure the unit 
with an anti-vibration mount. 
 
2.8.2 Prepare remote control 
Notes:  
●  There are two methods to test the unit using 
either the remote control or using the switch on 
the indoor unit. 
●  It is recommended that you test the unit using 
the switch on the indoor unit. 
To use the remote control for test running, operate 
as per the following instruction.   
To use the switch on the indoor unit for test 
running, skip the following instructions and move 
to item “2.8.3”. 
Prepare remote control 
The remote control uses two alkaline dry cell 
batteries (2 X AAA 1.5Volt). 
(1) Slide the cover of the battery compartment (on 
the rear of the remote control) off. 
(2) Insert new batteries, making sure that the (+) 
and (-) of battery are installed correctly.
