Detailed Description

The remote sends infrared commands to the receiver on the indoor air-conditioning unit. Aim the front of the RG10R Remote Controller toward the unit when pressing a button. A beep normally confirms that the unit has received the signal.

The main controls include ON/OFF, MODE, TEMP, FAN SPEED, SWING, TIMER, SET, OK, CLEAN, LED, TURBO, and ECO/GEAR. Depending on the version and indoor unit, the remote may also provide Breeze Away, Fresh or UV-C lamp, Sleep, Follow Me, AP, Silence, and other options.

Operating Modes

AUTO: The air conditioner selects cooling, fan, or heating operation according to the selected temperature and room conditions. Fan speed cannot be manually selected in this mode.
COOL: Lowers room temperature to the selected setting.
DRY: Helps reduce humidity. Fan speed is automatically controlled.
HEAT: Raises room temperature on units that support heating. Cooling-only systems do not respond to this mode.
FAN: Circulates air without temperature control. The temperature field may remain blank in this mode.

Safety

Use the remote within 8 m of the indoor unit and keep the infrared path clear.
Curtains, other objects, and direct sunlight can interfere with signal reception.
Do not combine old and new batteries or use different battery types together.
Remove the batteries if the remote will remain unused for more than two months.
Dispose of used batteries according to applicable local requirements rather than placing them with unsorted household waste.
Do not assume every button applies to every air conditioner. The indoor unit determines which functions are available.
If this guide conflicts with the air conditioner’s own owner’s manual, follow the owner’s manual for that unit.

Setup and Operation

Install or Replace the Batteries

Slide the rear battery cover downward to open the compartment.
Insert two R03/LR03 batteries, matching the positive and negative markings inside the compartment.
Slide the cover back into position.
Point the remote at the indoor unit and press ON/OFF to test operation.

Basic Operation

Press ON/OFF to start or stop the air conditioner.
Press MODE repeatedly to select AUTO, COOL, DRY, HEAT, or FAN.
Use the temperature buttons to increase or decrease the setting in 1°C or 1°F increments. The available range is 60 to 86°F (16 to 30°C).
Press FAN SPEED to cycle through the available automatic or manual fan settings.
Point the remote toward the unit and wait briefly for the command to be received.

Change the Temperature Display

Press the temperature increase and decrease buttons together for approximately three seconds to switch the remote display between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Adjust Airflow Direction

Press SWING to start or stop automatic horizontal louver movement. On supported units, repeatedly pressing the button can select from several airflow positions. Hold the button for more than two seconds to activate vertical louver swing when that feature is available.

The Breeze Away function, when supported, is intended to reduce direct airflow toward the body. It is available only in supported COOL, FAN, and DRY operations.

Set the Timer

The timer can switch the unit on or off after a selected period.

Press TIMER to begin setting either the start or stop timer.
Press the temperature increase or decrease button to choose the delay.
Press the remote button again as required and aim it at the indoor unit to transmit the setting.
Set the timer to 0.0 hours to cancel it.

From 0 to 10 hours, the timer changes in 30-minute steps. From 10 to 24 hours, it changes in one-hour steps. The selected period is measured from the current time, not as a clock time.

Energy-Saving Functions

Press ECO/GEAR to cycle through the available energy modes. The sequence can include ECO, GEAR at 75%, GEAR at 50%, and the previous setting. These functions are intended for supported COOL operation.

In ECO operation, the remote may automatically select 75°F (24°C) and automatic fan speed when the original temperature setting is below 75°F. If the original setting is above 75°F, the fan can change to automatic while the temperature remains unchanged. ECO operation may stop when the mode or temperature is changed.

GEAR operation limits electrical energy consumption to the selected level. The selected energy setting may return to the temperature display after several seconds.

Quiet Operation

Hold FAN SPEED for more than two seconds to activate or deactivate Silence mode when supported. Reduced compressor frequency can lower operating noise, but cooling or heating capacity may also be reduced. Pressing ON/OFF, MODE, TURBO, CLEAN, or starting Sleep mode can cancel Silence operation.

Turbo and Super Heat

Press TURBO to use the strongest available airflow for faster cooling or heating. In heating operation, compatible units with electric heat elements may also activate those elements.

On supported models, hold TURBO for more than five seconds during HEAT or automatic heating to start Super Heat operation. Hold it for more than three seconds to stop the function. Super Heat is intended to accelerate heating at low outdoor temperatures and may position the louver at a wide angle.

Active Clean

Press CLEAN to start or stop Active Clean when available. The process helps remove dust, mold, and grease from the heat exchanger by using a freezing and rapid-thawing cycle. The indoor display may show “CL,” and the unit can stop automatically after approximately 20 to 45 minutes.

Fresh or UV-C Lamp

Use the SET button to select Fresh or UV-C lamp operation when the indoor unit provides that feature. Depending on the model, the function may activate an ionizer, a UV-C lamp, or both.

Sleep Mode

Select Sleep through the SET function menu and confirm with OK. Sleep mode is intended to reduce energy use while maintaining comfortable conditions during rest. It is unavailable in FAN and DRY modes.

Follow Me

Follow Me allows the remote to measure the temperature near its current location and send that reading to the air conditioner at approximately three-minute intervals. Select Follow Me through SET, then press OK to confirm.

Holding OK for three seconds can enable or disable Follow Me memory on supported units. The feature can remain active through ordinary mode changes or a power interruption when its memory function is enabled.

AP Mode

Select AP mode through the SET menu when the air conditioner supports wireless network configuration. On some units, pressing LED seven times within ten seconds can also enter AP mode.

LED Display and Buzzer

Press LED to turn the indoor unit’s display on or off. On supported models, the same control can also enable or disable the air-conditioner buzzer for quieter operation.

Holding LED for more than five seconds may switch the indoor display between the actual room temperature and the selected temperature. This function is available only on certain units.

Lock Function

Hold CLEAN and TURBO together for more than five seconds to lock the remote. While locked, other buttons do not respond. Repeat the same two-button action for at least two seconds to unlock it.

FP Function

On compatible heat-pump systems, press CLEAN twice within one second while the unit is in HEAT mode with the temperature set to 60°F (16°C). FP operation runs the fan at high speed while the compressor operates and automatically sets the temperature to 46°F (8°C).

Pressing ON/OFF, MODE, FAN, or a temperature button, or starting Sleep mode, cancels FP operation.

Remote Display Indicators

The display shows only the symbols relevant to the current operation. Depending on the model, indicators can include:

Transmission status when a signal is being sent
Selected operating mode
Timer ON and Timer OFF status
Automatic, low, medium, high, or percentage-based fan speed
Temperature, timer period, or fan setting
ECO, GEAR, Silence, Turbo, Sleep, and Lock status
Horizontal or vertical swing status
Active Clean status
Fresh or UV-C lamp status
Follow Me and wireless-control status
Low-battery warning when the battery symbol flashes

In AUTO or DRY mode, fan speed may be controlled automatically. In FAN mode, the temperature display can be blank because no temperature setting is used.

Troubleshooting

The Air Conditioner Does Not Respond

Confirm that the indoor unit has power.
Install fresh batteries with the polarity aligned correctly.
Move within 8 m of the indoor unit.
Remove objects, curtains, or other obstructions between the remote and the receiver.
Avoid aiming the remote directly into strong sunlight.
Check whether the remote is locked. Unlock it by holding CLEAN and TURBO together for at least two seconds.

A Button Has No Effect

The function may not be available on the connected indoor unit. Some controls apply only to heating models, units with vertical louvers, or models equipped with Fresh, UV-C, wireless, or other optional features.

The Fan Speed Cannot Be Changed

Fan speed is automatically managed in AUTO and DRY modes. Temperature adjustment is unavailable in FAN mode.

The Remote Display Is Difficult to Read

Replace both batteries together, ensuring they are the same type and installed in the correct orientation. A flashing low-battery indicator also signals that replacement is needed.

Faqs

How do I install or replace batteries in the RG10R remote controller?

Slide the rear battery cover downward to open the compartment. Insert two R03/LR03 dry batteries, matching the positive and negative ends with the symbols inside the remote. Replace the cover securely before use. Do not mix old and new batteries or combine different battery types. If the remote will not be used for more than two months, remove the batteries to help prevent leakage or damage.

Why is my RG10R remote controller not operating the air conditioner?

Point the front of the RG10R directly toward the indoor unit from within approximately 8 meters. Curtains, furniture, other obstructions, and strong sunlight can weaken the infrared signal. Make sure the air conditioner has power, then press a button and listen for the unit’s confirmation beep. If the low-battery indicator flashes, replace both batteries with a matching new pair and test the remote again.

How can I change the RG10R temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit?

Press the TEMP up and TEMP down buttons together for about three seconds. The remote should switch the displayed temperature between Celsius and Fahrenheit. This changes the temperature unit shown on the controller rather than changing the air conditioner’s operating mode. If the display does not change, release both buttons and try again while pointing the remote toward the indoor unit.

What is the correct way to use AUTO, COOL, DRY, HEAT, and FAN modes?

Press MODE repeatedly until the required operation appears, then use the TEMP buttons where applicable. AUTO allows the air conditioner to choose cooling, fan, or heating automatically. COOL and HEAT allow temperature and fan-speed adjustment. DRY controls fan operation automatically, so fan speed cannot be selected manually. FAN circulates air without temperature control, meaning no set temperature appears on the remote display.

How do I program the RG10R timer to turn the air conditioner on or off?

Press TIMER to begin either the timer-on or timer-off setting, then press TEMP up or down to choose the delay. The setting changes in 30-minute steps up to 10 hours, then in one-hour steps through 24 hours. Point the remote at the indoor unit and wait briefly for confirmation. To cancel a timer, set its value back to 0.0 hours.

How do I adjust airflow direction with the RG10R Swing button?

Press SWING once to start automatic horizontal-louver movement and press it again to stop at the preferred position. On compatible indoor units, holding SWING for more than two seconds activates vertical-louver auto swing. Repeated presses can also select different fixed airflow directions. Availability depends on the air conditioner model, so a button may have no effect if the connected unit lacks that feature.

How do I use ECO, GEAR, Turbo, and Silence functions on the RG10R?

Use ECO during COOL mode to prioritize energy-efficient operation; it may set the temperature to 24°C when the selected temperature is lower. Press ECO/GEAR repeatedly to choose ECO, GEAR 75%, GEAR 50%, or the previous setting. Turbo provides the strongest airflow for faster cooling or heating. Hold FAN for more than two seconds to enable Silence, though reduced compressor frequency may lower capacity.

How can I unlock the RG10R remote controller if its buttons stop responding?

The lock function disables normal button operation. To unlock the remote, press and hold the CLEAN and TURBO buttons together for more than five seconds. The same button combination activates the lock when held again. If the controller still does not respond, check for a flashing low-battery indicator, replace both batteries if necessary, and ensure the buttons are not being pressed while the remote is locked.
