• a transmitter that transmits a signal that is based on the voice instruction accepted by the microphone element, the signal being transmitted externally of the air conditioner;
• and
• a receiver that receives a command corresponding to the signal transmitted from the transmitter, the command being received from externally of the air conditioner,
• the blow-out port being formed so as to extend with its longitudinal direction corresponding to a second direction,
