Displays whether the thermostat is following a schedule (

) or 

following the setpoint changes permanently (

). Following a schedule 

can mean the following: 
●  If there is network connection and the schedule has been set, the 

thermostat follows the schedule. 
–  Temporary setpoint changes within a schedule last for at least 

one hour. If several temporary changes occur within one hour, 
the thermostat extends an additional one hour as of the last 
temporary change. 

–  If the next switching point is not scheduled after one hour, the 

thermostat still works following the temporary setpoint change 
until the next switching point is scheduled. 

–  If the next switching point is scheduled within one hour, the 

thermostat doesn't switch to the scheduled setpoint until the last 
temporary setpoint change has lasted for one hour. 

●  If there is network connection but no schedule has been set, the 

thermostat follows the default schedule in the system. For more 
information about the default schedule, see Setting schedules. 

●  If there is no network connection or valid time, the thermostat cannot 

retrieve schedule information from the Cloud. It will operate in the 

Comfort

 mode.
