These instructions are in MP3 and Wave file format and can be listened to using a CD player or computer. A text file is also included that can be listened to using any text-to-speech software.

The VIP is a single zone battery powered thermostat that can be setup for either programmable (night setback) or non-programmable (manual) operation depending on the application. In the programmable mode, the VIP functions as a setback thermostat with 5plus2 programming.
