Before setting your schedule, you’ll need to ensure the time is set correct on the Gree air conditioner remote.
The timer settings won’t turn on when they should if the time setting aren’t right.
There’s a little LCD screen that will display the status as well as the temperature, and you can see what time it is currently. If the time isn’t correct on your unit, simply press the Clock button and set the time accordingy.
Setting the Timer Schedule
Avoid mistakes down the road.
Doing this one will save you from making mistake further along.
Pressing the T-ON button will allow you to set the air conditioner’s turn-on time. Pressing it again will let you change the time (the hour, then the minute) that the air con turns on. As soon as you’ve set the time, the screen change to reflect your chosen start time. Holding down the T-ON button for longer will lock in the time setting.
Using the T-OFF button, you will be able to specify when you want the air conditioner to shut down. Similar to the start time setting method, you’ll use the same procedure to change the digits on the screen to reflect your desired stop time. To save the new time, you perform another long press on the T-OFF button. If it’s correct, the remote will accept the new time and wait until then to turn off air conditioner.
Once you set both times, you want to then transmit that signal from the remote back to the indoor unit. Point the remote at the wall-mounted air conditioner and let it emit its infrared signal to the receiver inside.
Then, once more, press the buttons to complete the programming. This will send the information from the remote over to the main unit, which will match the timers on the device with what you programmed.
