Abstract
The present invention relates to an air conditioner and a remote controller for the air conditioner, and aims at inhibiting a remote controller operation by a person other than a specific user. Therefore, the specific user previously operates an operation button 30 thereby inputting a set password 41 or the like with respect to a remote controller 1. A CPU 10 stores the input set password 41 or the like in a memory 40. When setting of the set password 41 or the like is carried out, the CPU 10 displays the purport that the remote controller is in a locked state on a display part 20. Even if a remote controller operation related to operation setting of the air conditioner is carried out, the CPU 10 invalidates the operation contents unless input of an input password or the like matching with the set password 41 or the like is performed.
