Today, you will not surprise anyone with the installed in the dwelling modern system air conditioning, which is able to cool and heat the air in the room to the desired temperature. A self-diagnosis function is installed on almost all modern climatic equipment, which notifies the owner about possible malfunctions technology.
In addition, in any home split system, you can adjust the direction and strength of the air flow, and on the most "advanced" models, the function of dehumidification and automatic selection the most comfortable microclimate. And as a rule, all control of this miracle of climatic technology occurs using a wireless IR remote control. remote control, which regularly has the disgusting property of getting lost, breaking, becoming a toy for kids and, worst of all, a dinner for our four-legged friends.
It often becomes quite difficult to acquire a new one, especially for outdated models of climatic technology. In order to find them on sale, it takes a lot of time, and sometimes even money, because original device split-system control can reach the cost of 5 thousand rubles.
The way out was invented by craftsmen from the Middle Kingdom, who invented and launched into production inexpensive and sufficiently high-quality universal remote controls for the air conditioner.
How the device works
A universal air conditioner control device, outwardly does not differ from a standard remote control. The body is made of plastic, the LCD display is usually located at the top of the remote control. Buttons, with standard functions split systems, signed in English. Such consoles are available in a wide variety of shapes, colors and modifications.
A feature of universal remotes is a large number of preset infrared transmission frequencies, each of which corresponds to a specific air conditioner model... You can find out if your selected remote control device contains your split-system model by studying the instructions for the product. The most inexpensive universal remote control for air conditioners includes about 1000 codes for the same number of climate control equipment from different manufacturers. Good device DU, can work with more than 4 thousand models of air conditioners.
Important!
According to the manufacturer, QUNDA KT-9018E supports work with almost all models of Chinese, Korean and Japanese production, in manual and automatic mode.
Main functions
This device allows you to turn on and off your climatic equipment, adjust and regulate the direction, temperature of cooling and heating air. In addition, almost any universal remote control for an air conditioner has the following options:
- HEAT - turns on the function of heating the room from 25C ° to 30C °.
- COOL - includes automatic cooling dwellings up to 18C °. Depending on the model of the split system, this temperature value may vary.
- DRY - reduces the humidity level in the cooled room by reducing the fan speed.
- FAN - allows you to adjust the fan speed.
- AUTO - turns on the mode of automatic maintenance of the room temperature.
Advice:
When buying a remote control device for your split system, you should know that there will be no such functions as mixing atmospheric air, sensor, etc. In general, there will not be exactly those options for which you paid extra money when buying an air conditioner. To choose the most suitable model, you should consult with the specialists of the service center.
Customization for a specific model of a split system
If your control device can only work in manual mode, then it will take no more than 2 hours to set it up. To learn how to set up a universal remote control for an air conditioner, first of all, you should carefully and in detail study the instructions, which are usually written in Chinese and English... If you are not lucky with the knowledge of these languages, then follow the step-by-step instructions.
- Insert batteries, as 99% of devices do not have them in the battery compartment. After turning on the remote control, the indication of the main operating modes of your split system should light up on it.
- Find the code in the instructions, which means your model of climate technology, by pressing the SELECT button, enter it on the remote control and press OK to confirm. Check the operation of the remote control.
- If the code for your air conditioner model is not listed, try setting in automatic mode.
- To do this, press SELECT, the code starts blinking.
- Point the device at the split system and keep pressing SELECT, going through the codes.
The split system will independently "respond" to the required code. Then press the OK or ENTER button to confirm. After this procedure, you can proceed to testing the basic functions and buttons.
The air conditioner came in tightly into daily life most people. It is used at home, in offices, shopping centers- almost everywhere. With its help, you can easily and quickly both cool and heat the room. But with a huge demand, most consumers do not really know about all its capabilities. Not a few people know little about the designations of the buttons on the air conditioner remote control. This article will help you understand this issue.
Types and features
Air conditioner remotes are divided into:
- infrared;
- wired.
Remote controls that transmit a signal due to radiation are considered infrared. This system used in wall split systems, cassette, ceiling air conditioners, as well as in some models of window air conditioners. Infrared remotes are convenient to use, but their range is limited to 8 meters, while it should be borne in mind that after 5 meters, malfunctions may occur due to bright lighting. This kind control is not suitable for systems installed above the recommended values, as well as those models in which indoor units are hidden behind false ceilings or plasterboard structures.
Infrared remotes have a self-diagnostic system, therefore, during a failure, the indicator lamps on the indoor unit of the split system begin to blink, due to which service department it will take less time for diagnostics and repairs.
Wired control the air conditioner at any distance. In case of malfunctions, an error code is displayed on the display, which makes diagnostics even easier than with infrared remote control... The wired type of control allows you to control the operation of 4-8 air conditioners. Some models have an optional temperature sensor to help ensure optimum performance.
HEAT
Regardless of the manufacturer of the split system, the main symbols on the air conditioner panel can be distinguished.
HEAT - heating, temperature up to 30 degrees. This mode is used to heat indoor air. It has a designation on the air conditioner control panel in the form of a sun. The program automatically raises the temperature to the set temperature as soon as it starts to drop. It is important to know that each appliance has its own limitations for use in cold weather. Limitations in work can be from -5 to -15 degrees, depending on technical characteristics air conditioner. Do not neglect the rules for using the device in order to avoid damage. When choosing an air conditioner, it is important to know the conditions under which it can be used. There are models in which there are no restrictions.
COOL
This mode is used to cool the room in hot weather to 16-18 degrees. This function is considered the main one and is present in any air conditioner. It is marked on the air conditioner control panel in the form of a snowflake. Cooling occurs thanks to the filled refrigerant, which slowly takes heat from the room due to gassing and releases warm air outside. The power of the air conditioner should be selected at the rate of one kilowatt for 8-10 square meters, under such conditions, the device will work most optimally. When using the cool mode, the most favorable temperature is considered to be 16-18 degrees, if not enough, then you can turn on the fan.
DRI
Dehumidification function, designed to change the set temperature by several degrees for active removal in room. This mode is identical to COOL, but at very low fan speeds of the indoor unit of the split system. Combining the function with room cooling means more comfortable air. DRI mode helps to quickly drain space and get rid of high humidity, it is easier to endure the heat and stop the development of mold. Some models of the air conditioner have special sensors that react automatic switching on this function in case of deviation from the norm. For example, there is this designation on the Gree air conditioner remote control. In this mode, it is impossible to program and maintain humidity values.
Air dehumidification occurs in this way:
- The fan is active for the first 10 minutes.
- The next 5 minutes are paused.
- After 2 minutes, enhanced ventilation is carried out.
You cannot use this mode near open sources moisture, such as a swimming pool. In this case, other methods of dehumidification should be used.
FAN
The function is the same as a fan, it is used to change the blowing speed of the air conditioner. V this mode cooling and heating equipment does not function, but only air is taken from the street. Suitable for homes with central heating. In some models, you can only turn on the ventilation of the room without drawing air from the street. Manufacturers most often provide customers with a choice of 3 rotation speeds, and the mode independently selects the most suitable blowing speed.
AUTO
The function maintains the temperature in the room at 22-24 degrees, since it is considered the most comfortable for a person. Per given value leveled out every half hour. In this mode, the temperature indicators on the display of the control panel are not highlighted.
TURBO
A mode in which air flows on high speed spread throughout the room. If it is possible to turn off the air intake from the street, you can quickly mix the air layers. Thus, the room temperature will be the same.
SLEEP
The mode is used during sleep to create favorable conditions... In this mode, the temperature changes for 6-8 hours, gradually increasing or decreasing the air temperature by 1 degree in order not to overcool or overheat the sleeping person. If the air conditioner works for heating, then the temperature rises, if for cooling, then it drops.
SWING
This mode is used to fix or change the position of the split-system blinds. Thanks to this mode, the air is distributed evenly throughout the room. On some remotes, the movement of the blinds is displayed.
AUTORESTART
This mode is not indicated on the control panel, but its presence is very important. This program triggers in the event of an unexpected power outage, independently resuming the operation of the air conditioner in given mode when the electricity reappears.
Standard Modes
The main functions of the air conditioner are: dehumidification, cooling and heating of indoor air. Modes and their designation on the air conditioner remote control should be studied in advance in order to know technical capabilities equipment. Cooling occurs due to the transition of the liquid state of the refrigerant to the gaseous state, which is carried out due to the intake of warm air from the room, and when heated, the process occurs the other way around.
Each air conditioner has basic and additional modes, which directly depend on the manufacturer and model of the device. Designation of icons on the air conditioner remote control:
- Cool - cooling, looks like a snowflake.
- Heat - heating, indicated by the sun on the air conditioner control panel.
- Dry - dehumidification, drop image.
- Fan - a fan with a corresponding pattern.
- Sleep - night mode, the image of an asterisk.
- Lock - child protection.
- Led - display backlight for working in the dark.
Special abilities
Some manufacturers, in pursuit of the consumer, are trying to improve air conditioners. additional options... Some of them become very useful as a result of operation. So to special opportunities relate:
- Comfort setting - able to turn on the air conditioner in the rendering mode optimal regime... As a rule, in this mode, 20 degrees is considered optimal for heating, 25 degrees - for cooling the room.
- Air purification - occurs thanks to built-in filters of various degrees of purification. It can be rough - it helps to remove large particles of dirt, and fine - it can even cope with pollen. In addition, the air conditioner can be equipped with filters that absorb odors. Street dust settles on filters, and the air in the room is always fresh. This designation can be found on the Samsung air conditioner control panel.
- 3D stream - directs vertically. The consumer uses this feature when he is afraid of catching a cold. It will be designated lfeel on the air conditioner control panel.
- Ionization - saturates the room with ions with negative charges. The option is designed to improve immunity and human well-being. In the reviews of some consumers it is said that during ionization there is a feeling of a breeze. There is this designation on the remote control of the LG, Mitsubishi air conditioner in some models
- Air filtration and purification - this function is not available in all models of the air conditioner, it is carried out by means of step filters. It helps to clear the air of dust, dirt and various microorganisms, and also helps to get rid of unpleasant odors. The function is indispensable for allergy-prone people and pet owners.
- Defrosting the heat exchanger - maintains the performance of the air conditioner for a long time. This mode reduces the refrigerant load during cooling during cooling.
Kit additional functions directly depends on the manufacturer and model of the split system. Remote control designations Mitsubishi air conditioner will differ from those of other manufacturers. Before purchasing the unit, you need to consult with the seller or familiarize yourself with the options using the instructions that are included in the kit.
So, each air conditioner is equipped with the following functions: dehumidification, heating and cooling of air. In addition, each manufacturer tries to surprise the consumer and diversify the capabilities of the device. Therefore, when choosing an air conditioner, it is important to study the set of functions of the model you like.
Control household air conditioners most often done with remote control... It is sold complete with a cooling unit. The device is only suitable for specific model cooler, so if it is lost or damaged, users have to waste time looking for a similar switch.
Fortunately, today universal air conditioner remotes are on sale that can transmit a signal to different models coolers. In this article, we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the remote control (RC) and provide instructions on how to use them.
Types of remote control devices
Remote controls are classified into two types according to the principle of operation and the method of connection:
- infrared wireless;
- wall.
Let's consider the main features of each type of device.
Infrared models
In household air cooling systems, the infrared model of the remote control is most often used. He is small device with buttons and has on the sides infrared emitters that transmit a signal to the photodetector of the split system.
Outwardly, such devices differ little from each other. Original remotes for air conditioners can be equipped with the following functions:
- display;
- built-in thermometer;
- backlight.
The main disadvantages of infrared switches are their short range (about 8 m) and the fact that a small device can easily get lost in an apartment.
Wall-mounted remote controls
Wall switches for refrigeration systems are convenient for use in large rooms. Unlike infrared models, their range is unlimited, since the remote control is connected to the device through a wiring system.
Using a wall switch, you can change the operating mode of an air conditioner for an entire office from one remote control.
Wall-mounted remote controls are usually not installed in residential buildings, since they cannot be moved around the apartment, and for its installation, you will need to lay a separate cable.
Universal switch for air conditioner
The universal remote control for the split system looks little different from the usual one that comes with the cooler. Plastic case equipped with buttons with designations of the main functions of the device and a small display.
Feature universal remote control is a large number of infrared transmission frequencies. Each of them corresponds certain model split systems. Before purchasing a universal switch, you should carefully study the instructions for the device. It lists codes for air conditioners that support the device.
Budget models have from 1 thousand built-in codes for different models split systems, and expensive products - up to 4 thousand codes. In this range, you can easily choose a remote control for your cooler.
Setting up a universal remote
To find out how to connect a universal remote control to your air conditioner, you should carefully study the instructions for the device. In most cases, when configuring the remote control, the following sequence of actions is performed:
- First you need to open the cover of the device and insert the batteries.
- When switched on, the display will show the basic functions of the chiller setting.
- Then, in the instructions, you should find the code that corresponds to your split system model.
- After pressing the Select key, you need to enter the code on the panel and press the OK button to confirm the action.
- Check the operation of the device.
If the instructions do not contain the required code for the split system, do not be upset. Most universal switches can "detect" the device automatically. To do this, you need to configure according to the following plan:
- Press the Select button, the screen will display the code from the list.
- Continue pressing the Select key while aiming the remote at the device.
- Go through the codes on the switch when found required code, the system will react to it.
- Press the confirmation button (OK or Enter) to establish a connection with the climatic technology.
Functions and modes
The air conditioner remote control carries out a number of important operations, which simplify the use of the split-system, and often fully ensure its performance. Let's list the main functions of the control panel:
- Enabling and configuring the main operating modes: air cooling, heating, ventilation, dehumidification.
- Activation additional modes and functions - timer, cleaning, etc.
- Setting the desired temperature indicators.
- Fan speed setting.
- Adjusting the air flow direction by changing the position of the louvers.
Any model of the remote control has standard designations for the operating modes of climatic technology, which are printed on the buttons or panel of the device in the form of icons or inscriptions. Let's list the most common commands and icons on the split system remote control:
- On / Off or Power - turn on and off the air conditioner.
- Mode - automatic mode control.
- Swing and Air Direction - exposes air flow vertically.
- Fan - setting the fan speed (pressing the button increases the rotation of the blades).
- Timer - setting the activation and deactivation time of the device.
- Sleep - "sleep" function, reduces the noise level and the power of the cooler.
- Clean Air - inlet air ionization mode.
- Turbo or Full Power - run on maximum power.
- Set or - key lock.
In addition to the listed buttons, there are also icons such as "+" and "-" - increasing or decreasing the temperature by one degree. The same functions are performed by the arrow buttons.
Often, some of the main functions on the panel are displayed as conditional images- icons. They are quite easy to understand: for example, the key with the "sun" icon is responsible for heating, and "snowflakes" for cooling.
Some models of split systems have additional functions that have their own legend on the remote control. The Clean key is responsible for cleaning and drying the indoor unit after work. The Led and Lighting buttons are found in air conditioners with a display - they turn on the backlight.
In this material, we have collected generally accepted instructions for using remote control devices for split systems. We found out that it is quite simple to understand its work - all the keys have clear designations, so the setting can be made intuitively. Adjustment of temperature and other parameters is carried out by repeated pressing on function key... However, it is always recommended that you read the instructions for your specific model before purchasing and using your remote control to avoid wrong setting device.

After that, you can set the desired fan operating mode from several: CHAOS (a feeling of a light breeze is created) and four permanent regimes from weak to maximum power.
Working in the dehumidification (dehydration) mode, the air conditioner reduces the level of humidity. The desired temperature level cannot be set as the device selects it by itself, taking into account the current selection. In any case, the air conditioner works in such a way as to reduce the humidity to a minimum affect the temperature.
Unlike the Heating and Cooling modes, where the air conditioner only cools or heats, when you select the Auto select mode, you can specify the desired temperature range and when the temperature drops, the air conditioner will turn on the Heating mode, and when the temperature rises, on the contrary, cool the air in the room.
Additional modes and settings
Fast heating / cooling mode. When the room temperature is too high or vice versa, it is recommended to first turn on the air conditioner at maximum power. After turning it on, it works for 30 minutes (for cooling and 60 minutes it works with maximum heat transfer and ventilation.
Automatic restart function - activates the operation of the air conditioner in the same mode in which it worked before the emergency power outage.
For maximum air purification, there is a Plasma filter. It can be started in any operating mode of the air conditioner by pressing the Plasma button on the remote control.
Self-cleaning function - starts the process of removing moisture from the internal cavities of the air conditioner, it is necessary after working in the cooling and dehumidification modes.

To disable the timer: check that the 2F button is inactive and press the TIMER CANCEL button. After that, the timer image on the air conditioner and the display should go out.
ADVICE:
... Do not overcool the room. This is harmful to health and unnecessarily increases energy consumption.
... Close curtains or blinds if the air conditioner is running. Do not expose the air conditioner to sunlight.
... Control the direction of the vertical flap so that the air temperature in the room is evenly distributed.
... Keep windows and doors tightly closed. Otherwise, cold air will leave the room.
... Clean the air filter regularly. A clogged filter reduces air movement and increases energy consumption.
... Remember to ventilate the room periodically. During the operation of the air conditioner, the air is not renewed as during ventilation, therefore it is necessary to monitor this additionally.
... To quickly cool the room at the start of operation, use a mode with an increased fan speed.
Cleaning your air conditioner
Choose a solid foundation on which to stand. Remember to unplug the power plug before cleaning. Do not use water hotter than 40 degrees, gasoline, abrasive detergents - this can damage appearance plastic.
There are air filters behind the front panel. They should be checked and, if necessary, cleaned once a week. To remove dirt, you can use a vacuum cleaner, in cases where it is poorly removed, you can wash the filter in warm water with the addition of liquid detergent... After washing, the filters must be dried in the shade (not in the sun).
PLASMA filters must be checked at least once every three months. Cleaning can be done with a vacuum cleaner or washed with water. They also cannot be dried in the sun. Do not touch this filter first 10 seconds after turning off the air conditioner.
Deodorizing filters must be removed, dried in the sun for 2 hours and replaced.
Periodically inspect the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and remove it when contamination appears, for which you can call an employee of the relevant company.
If you think there is a problem
The air conditioner does not work. Check if it is connected to the power supply, if it is not burned out. circuit breaker... It is also possible that there is no power in the network or too high voltage (in the second case, the protection of the air conditioner will work)
The air conditioner does not cool properly. Check that there are no obstructions in the air flow around the outdoor and indoor units. The air filter must be clean. If too high temperature the air conditioner becomes less efficient. Also check that the windows and doors in the room are closed. The temperature may not be set correctly. There may be a heat source in the room.
ALWAYS contact service center if:
... there was a burning smell, loud noise at work. Unplug the device and disconnect the plug from the socket immediately;
... The power cord or plug is hot and shows damage.
... when the self-test is started, a malfunction code appears;
... water leaks from the indoor unit;
... circuit breaker malfunctions are detected.
If the air conditioner will not be used for a long time
At the end of the season, the air conditioner must be prepared for shutdown. For what:
... clean the filters;
... turn on the warm-up mode for 1-2 hours to completely dry the inside of the indoor unit;
... turn off the air conditioner using the remote control;
... remove the batteries from the remote control;
... disconnect the plug from the power supply.
Before switching on after a long period of inactivity.
... Check that there are no obstacles to the movement of air around the outdoor and indoor units;
... install batteries in the remote control;
... set the time;
... connect the plug to the mains.
Installation site and electrical work
The air conditioner must be installed by certified specialists. Make sure that there will be no obstacles to air movement in the place of the intended installation, the noise of the outdoor unit will not interfere with those living nearby and it is possible to drain condensate from the outdoor unit.
Precautionary measures
Use a mains plug and a grounded socket. Do not plug the air conditioner into an inferior outlet. Do not use an extension cord - plug directly into a wall outlet. Do not use a damaged plug or power cord. The power cord and plug must be handled with dry hands.
Do not stand on your own or place heavy or hard objects on the power cord.
It is forbidden to disassemble, repair, modify the device yourself. For any renovation works you need to invite a specialist.
Make sure the mounting posts are intact and intact. The outdoor unit must be securely fixed to prevent it from falling.
Do not put on external and indoor units objects, especially those with water (for example, a vase of water).
Do not insert your fingers or any other objects into the technological openings of the air conditioner. The fan runs at high speed, which could cause injury.
If the air conditioner stops cooling or heating, it may indicate refrigerant leakage. In this case, it is necessary to call the repair specialists.
Do not stand in the path of the cold air stream, as this can damage your health.
Air conditioning is a handy thing. I pressed the button - and I was transported from the heat to the cool. And it doesn't matter what the Ministry of Health warns. What are the hypothetical risks to us, when here it is, momentary pleasure.
The Roman emperor Heliogabalus thought about the same, enjoying the cool breeze of snow drifts in the heat. The freshest mountain snow for snowdrifts was delivered to His Imperial Majesty by slaves.
Modern air conditioners work without the exploitation of other people's labor, but under the careful guidance of the user. And the connecting link between the desires of the user and the capabilities of the air conditioner is the remote control. Let's talk about him.
Different but the same
There are different consoles - stationary and infrared. Stationary communicates with the electronic board of the air conditioner through wires, infrared - through infrared rays.
The remotes may differ in design and "bells and whistles" in the form of additional functions, but the algorithm of work and the package standard buttons the same for everyone. Once sorted out, you can become the masters of all air conditioners. Seriously.
As for the buttons, the functions of some civilized people will be determined intuitively or through accumulated experience. ON / OFF - turned it on and off. Transparent and understandable. But other buttons can evoke a variety of feelings - genuine interest, mild concern, or awe.
What happens if you press MODE? Why isn't anything happening when I press Health? Buttons - they are so unpredictable. At least until you read the instructions. We will not rewrite the instructions.
Let's pay all attention to problem buttons - those that make you want to talk and are the subject of heated discussions on the forums. They became the heroes of our hot TOP.
Sharing: Mode button on the remote control of the air conditioner
The theater starts with a coat rack, and air conditioner control - from the MODE button... It is she who needs to be pressed to turn a piece of plastic into smart device who cares about the microclimate.
MODE gives access to a menu with modes.
Thanks to MODE, the room can be filled with freshness (COOL), warmth (HEAT), dryness (DRY), simply blowing the air in ventilation mode (FAN) or entrusting the climate control to the device (AUTO).
Click on MODE, get to desired mode, set the temperature (arrow buttons) and fan speed (FAN button) and enjoy the result. By the way, about FAN ...
At all speeds: the value of the Fan button on the air conditioner remote control
FAN is not only Fan mode in MODE menu, in which air is chased and mixed, as if a table or floor fan were running.
FAN is also a free-standing button on the remote control panel, which sets the rhythm for the fan in modes, that is, determines the speed at which the device will supply cold, hot or neutral air.
By the way, in FAN mode(in the MODE menu) the air is neither heated nor cooled, but mixed as it is. The speed can be set to automatic, low (LOW), medium (MED) and high (HI) in any operating mode of the air conditioner, except AUTO, in which the user's whims do not matter.
Dangerous moisture: Dry - button "drying" on the remote control
While cooling and heating is straightforward, the DRY mode found on nearly all modern air conditioners is perplexing. Why dry the air, many are perplexed. And rightly so. The story of how harmful dry air is, we believed with all our hearts thanks to advertisements for humidifiers.
How to understand DRY function? It turns out that too humid air is also dangerous. If the room is cool, high humidity will lead to dampness. If it's hot, it's stuffy.
In any case, these are the risks of bronchopulmonary diseases, peeled wallpaper and fallen off plaster. And fungi and mold, for which moisture is a home?
In general, "drying" is a useful thing if the humidity level in the room exceeds 45-60%. Household hygrometer purchased from a household or hardware store, will help it, level, measure.
Comfortable sleep: assignment of the Sleep button on the air conditioner remote control
SLEEP is a very important button, which you will have to accustom yourself to use if you are used to sleeping with the air conditioner on.
The button activates the "Comfortable sleep" mode, in which the device automatically maintains optimal conditions for rest - regulates the temperature and turns on silent mode fan operation.
Most importantly, the SLEEP mode saves energy.
Did you know that thermal power plants consume non-renewable minerals (coal, oil and gas) and pollute the atmosphere during operation? Even if the noise of an actively operating fan in one of the normal regimes not annoying, and income allows you not to think about spending money carefully, think about the planet and hit the SLEEP button before going to bed.
Helpful innovation: what does the Health button mean?
Ionization - useful innovation or a publicity stunt? Scientists were divided. Nevertheless, modern air conditioners are equipped with such a service. Responsible for activating the mode Health button , when pressed, nothing seems to happen.
In fact, at this time, the air conditioner begins to generate negatively charged ions, which:
- a) have an antibacterial effect,
- b) eliminate unpleasant odors,
- c) purify the air from hazardous chemical compounds.
By the way, the highest concentration of negatively charged particles is in ecologically clean corners of the planet.
Up-Down: Designation of the Swing button on the air conditioner remote control
In jazz - a rhythmic pattern, in boxing - a side kick from a long distance. It's all swing.
For air conditioners, the Swing button can be used to adjust the louvers and the direction of the air flow.
When pressed, the flaps begin to move up and down. When pressed again, they stop. Only. Such a simple and straightforward swing. Whether it's jazz.
Total Recall: Shortcut Button on Air Conditioner Remote
One of the options for translating the word "shortcut" from English is shortcut. In the context of a conversation about Shortcut air conditioners, this is quick way set the air conditioner to the previously configured and stored operating mode.
If there is no corresponding information in the memory, nothing except the AUTO mode will turn on.
