DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 schematically shows the appearance of a remote control device for remotely controlling an air conditioner.
Reference numeral 2 denotes a lid that is pivotally supported on one side of the case body 1 so as to be freely opened and closed. On the front side of the lid 2, a start / stop button 3 and an operation button 4 for operating an air conditioner (not shown) for a predetermined time are arranged. The cover 2 is shown in FIG.
And can be opened as shown in FIG.
An inner lid 5 that can be opened and closed in the same direction as the lid 2 between the
Are rotatably supported. On one side of the inner lid 5, there is a projection 6 which is convenient for opening and closing operations. This projection 6 engages with a concave portion 7 formed on the lid 2 side when the inner lid 5 is opened as shown in FIG. Can be stopped. A printed circuit board, a battery, and the like (not shown) are housed in the case body 1. A first operation unit 8 for switching operation modes and setting room temperature, air volume, wind direction, and the like is provided on the upper surface of the case body 1. A battery cover 9 that opens and closes at the time of replacement is provided. On the other hand, on the back side of the lid 2, a second operation unit 10 for setting an operation start time, a stop time, and the like of the air conditioner is set.
And a display unit 11 for displaying operation contents, time, and the like. In addition, a label 12 describing an operation method related to the second operation unit 10 and the like on the front surface of the inner lid 5 and a label 13 describing an operation method related to the first operation unit 8 and the like on the back surface. The battery cover 9 has a label 14 stating a method for replacing the battery and the like. In addition, the label 12 described above is attached to the inner lid 5 and the battery lid 9.
Instead of 13 and 14, the operation method and the like may be directly printed.

[0007]
