How do I use the auto off timer with AirTouch 5?
The Auto OFF timer is a smart energy-saving feature built into AirTouch 5 that helps ensure your air conditioning system doesn't run longer than necessary.
Whether your AC was turned on manually or by a scheduled program, Auto OFF will shut it down after a preset period, giving you peace of mind and helping reduce energy costs.
What is Auto OFF?
Auto OFF is a smart timer that automatically turns off your AC after a specified duration, regardless of how it was activated. This is especially useful if you forget to turn the system off before leaving home or going to sleep.
For example:
If Auto OFF is set to 2 hours, and a scheduled program turns the AC on for 3 hours, the system will still turn off after 2 hours.
Note: Auto OFF always overrides other timers or schedules.
