■ This is the case immediately after the main power supply switch
is turned on and means that the remote controller is in normal
condition. This continues for one minute.
Symptom 13: The compressor in the outdoor unit does not stop after a
short heating operation
■ This is to prevent oil and refrigerant from remaining in the
compressor. The unit will stop after 5 to 10 minutes.
Symptom 14: The inside of an outdoor unit is warm even when the unit
