REMOTE CONTROL GUIDE
MINISPLIT A/C AND HEAT – We have found that keeping the A/C around 74 is comfortable for most people but please feel free to put the temp at whatever makes you comfortable. For those that are light sleepers you can turn off the “glow” that comes from the A/C by clicking the LED light on the remote control. The A/C will remain on but the light will turn off.
OVERHEAD FAN/LIGHT- Please use just the remote to change the fan speed and light dim/on/off. If it isnt turning on please make sure the switch near the kitchenette is flipped on.
HALLWAY LIGHTS – You can put the motion activated lights in several different modes. If it is in night or day mode it will light up when you walk in the little hallway. You can also turn it off completely if it is bothering your sleep. (They do sometimes turn on if you roll over ),
ROKU TV Remote- If there is a streaming service that is not already logged in please feel free to log in using your account info, we will make sure it is logged out when you leave. You should be able to log into Netflix and Hulu using our account.
