Solution
Please check the following:
Is there a power failure?
Has a switch been turned off, a circuit breaker tripped or a fuse blown?
Is the timer operating?
Are the batteries used in the remote controller exhausted?
Are the batteries used in the remote controller loaded properly?
Auto-restart function
For units with Auto-restart feature, when the power restores, the unit restarts automatically with all the previous settings preserved by the memory function.
For the units without Auto-restart feature, when the power restores, the OPERATION indicator on the indoor unit will flash for 1 second. To restart the operation, push the ON/OFF button on the remote controller.
Note: Operation is delayed after restart
To prevent blowout of the fuse, the compressor will not operate while the protection circuit is working for about 3 minutes after sudden OFF/ON operation of the power supply, this is normal operation and designed to protect the compressor.
