Abstract
A remote control unit of an air conditioning apparatus includes a display unit, a cursor-moving member, a confirmation member, and a controller. The display unit displays a menu and a cursor that indicates an item among a plurality of items inside the menu and is moved by the cursor-moving member when operated by a user. The confirmation member is configured to decide that the item is to be executed. The controller controls the display unit in response to the cursor-moving member or confirmation member being operated, and stores screen display modes displayed on the display unit. Upon receiving a predetermined input from the confirmation member, the controller causes items allowing selection of the display modes to be displayed on the menu.
