PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a reduction in operability to be suppressed corresponding to operating characteristics by light reception of infrared light.SOLUTION: An indication body 70 comprises an infrared light emission section 712 and an infrared light reception section 713 and causes the infrared light emission section 712 to emit light in response to light reception by the infrared light reception section 713 at the time of normal operation. The indication body 70 further comprises a microcomputer 720 performing detection of operating characteristics of the infrared light reception section 713 by using the infrared light emission section 712 and controlling light emission of the infrared light emission section 712 at the time of normal operation on the basis of detection result when predetermined conditions are satisfied. On this account, a reduction in operability can be suppressed corresponding to the operating characteristics by the light reception of infrared light. 【課題】赤外光の受光による動作特性に対応して、操作性の低下を抑制することができるようにする。【解決手段】赤外線発光部７１２と赤外線受光部７１３とを備え、通常動作時において赤外線受光部７１３での受光に応じて赤外線発光部７１２を発光させる指示体７０であって、所定の条件が成立した場合に、赤外線発光部７１２を使用して赤外線受光部７１３の動作特性の検出を行い、検出結果に基づいて、通常動作時における赤外線発光部７１２の発光を制御するマイコン７２０を備えている。このため、赤外光の受光による動作特性に対応して、操作性の低下を抑制することができる。【選択図】図４
