BEFORE YOU START

•Ensure your router provides a standard 2.4ghz connection.

•If your router is dual band ensure that both networks have different network names

(SSID). The provider of your router / ISP will be able to provide advice specific to

your router.

•Place the dehumidifier as close as possible to the router during setup.

•Once the app has been installed on your phone, turn off the data connection, and

ensure your phone is connected to your router via wifi.

DOWNLOAD THE APP TO YOUR PHONE

Ensure whilst setting up the WIFI on your air conditioner, that it is close to your router, as

the unit requires a good signal during the setup process. Your air conditioner is designed to

be connected to a 2.4ghz network, and the connection is set up using the TCL “SMART

LIFE” app. We would advise on using the QR codes below to ensure the correct app is

downloaded.

Android IOS

The unit can also be controlled using the “Smart Life” app by TUYA which is also available

in the app stores. We would advise on using the version above which is optimised for use

with your air conditioner as we cannot guarantee the correct functionality of all features with

the TUYA app. If you would prefer to use the TUYA app, please use the QR codes below
