Mitsubishi Heavy Industries · Packaged Air Conditioners

What does Timer/Check Indicator Lamp (Yellow) Short Flash mean?

The air conditioner will stop, and an address number and error code may be shown on the indoor unit's display. For specific models (FDTW, FDK, FDFW), the Check1/Check2 lamps will blink to indicate the error code number.
