Disable A/C IR Sensor

Disable IR Sensor.

Well I was in a hotel and when I got to my room I did the first thing I do when I get in my hotel room. I turned the A/C on the coldest setting. I like it cold. However I was annoyed by the fact when I got back to my room after a evening out that my A/C was on but the room was warmer than before I left. Well I noticed that the A/C was OFF until I entered my room and a motion sensor on my thermostat turned the A/C back on.

After some web browsing I found a way to disable the motion sensor, and that is by setting the A/C in VIP mode, this needs to be done every 12 or 24 hours depending on the unit, because VIP mode only lasts that long.

To enable VIP mode Hold "Display" button and Press "Off" and then Press "UP" arrow, now release display button and the LCD should show VIP(that means it worked).
