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 thereby inputting a set password or the like with respect to a remote controller . A CPU stores the input set password or the like in a memory . When setting of the set password or the like is carried out, the CPU displays the purport that the remote controller is in a locked state on a display part . Even if a remote controller operation related to operation setting of the air conditioner is carried out, the CPU invalidates the operation contents unless input of an input password or the like matching with the set password or the like is performed.
