Any Fujitsu guys out there?

I'm trying to help my sister remotely with her Fujitsu mini split setup and I'm hoping someone can help.

The unit has two heads in bedrooms and then what looks like a ducted air handler for the rest of the house.

The house handled by the ducted part tends to run high humidity.  Like in the 60%+ area.

This is the thermostat she has.   Is there a way to make it run the fan on the lowest speed?  Is it already according to that water drop?  I know absolutely nothing about this thermostat so trying to do this remotely isn't working.

    The “A” next to the fan icon says Auto mode

    Doesn't pushing the fan button cycle through fan speeds? There's also a humidity mode.

    From what she said hitting the fan button didn't do anything.  I had her try holding it with also didn't do anything.

    I assume auto means variable speed but I'm not so sure it doesn't just mean auto on/off like Normal stat?

    Should to be able to manually set the fan and have it not in Auto. But, with the air handler and multiple heads it may lock you out of manual for drying. This is due to freezup potential, and the unit not "knowing" what the pressure loss is of the ductwork. If it were a wall unit (ductless) then it would allow you to set the fan speed, this is due to no pressure loss from ducting. 

    Multiple heads just complicate the problem.

    Don't know how old that is, but the newer ones need to be programmed to sense at the thermostat, not the thermistor in the air handler. 
    Is there a model number for the air handler?

    I'll try to find out.

    Yes! There is an installer meun and you change it to sense at the stat not the return plenum.

    Air handler model : ARU24RLF

    How do I get into the installer menu to see how and if it was configured?
