TECHNICAL CHANGES The following models are compatible with the outdoor units with low standby power control. Connecting the following models to the MUZ-EF∙VG/H series outdoor units enables the low standby power control. The following models may be connected to the MUZ-EF∙VG/H series after once connected to the MXZ series and operated, for example because of relocation.
