- While holding down "display"
- Press "off", then
- Press "Up" arrow
- Release "display" button

This enters the VIP mode which turns off the motion sensor, and allows a lower range of the thermostat so you can get the room really cold.

Thanks for posting this. Worked wonders on an Inncom thermostat at the Marriott Philadelphia Downtown. I was able to change the thermostat from 65 to 60 and let it cool down while we were out watching the fireworks show tonight. A/C is mildly underpowered, so the room still isn't as cool and dry as I'd like, but it's better than it otherwise would be.

Thanks!
