Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0908684A2] A remote control unit for use with an air conditioner has an LCD display (16) offering a choice of control functions and a master control button (14) for selecting and setting a desired function. A night light is incorporated in the display (16) and operates each time the control button (14) is pressed, but only between predetermined on and off times set by the internal clock of the unit. In another aspect of the invention, the characteristic sound of an acknowledgement signal, emitted by the air conditioner on receipt of a remote command, is dependent on the function being controlled. <IMAGE>
