Daikin I-Smile aircon remote control keeps resetting to defaults?

[Questin]

For some reason the remote displays everything fine, but when we press the on/off button, the display will flash a lot of numbers for 1-2 seconds, then all the settings will reset to default. If we adjust it to normal settings again (e.g. 24 celsius), it works fine as far as we can tell...but after a few hours if we press the on/off button again, it will reset everything back to normal again...

Does anyone know why it is doing that? Is it a sign of low battery?

TS , how about when you use the app instead ? Does it reset your function ?

I don't have this problem with the original Daikin remotes.

But I have this problem with the cheapo third-party lookalikes. I suspect it's a battery/voltage thing

Change the batteries to try or buy another remote control from the internet.

I am not using the app at all. If i use another remote it is fine, just this one keeps resetting for some reason.

Any idea where can buy the batteries? The instructions for replacing the batteries also seem inaccurate, it says to "slide down the back cover" but that is impossible because there is a screw...

Wah lao eh. You want an middle-aged uncle to teach a tech-savvy youngster how to change the batteries in a remote control? There's tool called screwdriver ?

Can you Google?

There is no sliding piece. The back only has one portion that is screwed in. Looks like this : https://media.karousell.com/media/p...emote_control_1692158245_6fba4e7c_progressive

Not sure where to get the batteries though. Are LR03 batteries easy to find?

 

[buttbERry]

This link ? or post a pic of yr remote ( front n back）
U sure battery is at the back, not in front ?

Just swapped the battery to test as U hv 2 remote - Rem the settingS in case reset to default.

If your remote has a sliding cover, the batteries are located at the front. Simply with a little force slide the cover down to reveal the battery compartment.

pretty sure the screw has nothing to do with battery cover.

Thanks, i see the problem, i didnt realise i had to use a lot force to pull off the sliding cover. Replaced the batteries and it works fine now.
