Mode Control
The Mode Control function allows you to turn schedules ON and OFF. Your installer will inform you if Schedules have been programmed for you system, and of how and when they will operate.
Schedules are used to turn devices on and off automatically. For example, a schedule may be programmed to turn on a set of lights at the same time every night, and then to shut the lights off in the morning. If you want to temporarily shut the schedule off (for example, so you can manually control the lights) use the Mode Control Menu to turn the schedule off or on. Schedules are programmed by your installer. To have schedules programmed or modified, contact your installer for assistance.
From the Home Automation Menu, press [2]. When [2] is pressed, the system will announce the Mode Control Menu:
Mode Control Menu | Function |

Global Item Control
Certain devices controlled by your system may be defined by your installer as “Global Items”. These are items that may be controlled by a single command. For example, all of the lighting on the premises may be defined as Global Items. This would allow all of the lighting to be turned on or off by a single command. Your installer will inform you of which automation items on your system are programmed as Global Items.
From the Home Automation Menu, press [3]. When [3] is pressed, the system will announce
“To turn global items on press [1]. To turn global items off press [2].
