set temperature.
Use this option to program the maximum temperature
change allowed so your comfort is not compromised. The
number you enter is the difference from the set temperature
of the system before the Quick Save feature is activated.

require the user to enter a 4-digit access code. To enable
the access code, enter a 4-digit number. (To disable this
feature simply delete the number.)
You can also configure the level of access control.
