To set your vacation time:
This setting will override your selected
program settings in the Program Menu
while you are on vacation.
1. Select and enter the Override Menu.
2. Press PREV or NEXT to select “Vacation”
and the opposite screen appears.
3. Press SELECT to conrm.

When the vacation mode is activated, your utility company can override
your temperature setting when the new event setting saves energy, for
example:
a) In wintertime when the outdoor temperature is cold, you may set your
vacation temperature to 50°F to prevent pipes from freezing. However,
if the utility company sends an event to reduce the temperature to 45°F
to save energy, it will override your vacation temperature and make the
new ‘Heat Set Point’ 45°F.
b) In summertime, if you have set your vacation temperature to 68°F and
the utility sends an event to increase the temperature to 77°F in order
to save energy, it will override your vacation temperature and make the
new ‘Cool Set Point’ 77°F.
Note: The utility company cannot override your vacation temperature if
you have set the unit to ‘Reject All Events’.
