hey guys if you're at a best western
hotel and you're trying to hack this
thing don't even bother because you
can't find the manuals online
and it's almost impossible the only only
thing you can do with it is hold these
buttons for
seven seconds
it'll start blinking on you it'll reset
and then it'll basically tell you a
little secret that they don't want you
to know
if you're set at a certain temperature
like that'll say actual temp 74
it's at 0.75
yeah it's not gonna actually get the
temperature you want to get to but
anyway you can't hack this thing because
as of right now the manuals are not
available online
and i can't find anything but if you
have
this unit
in your room which is a frederick
zone air
you can completely disable that thing
for you if you want to
so i'll tell you how to do it
basically hold the up button and heat
for three seconds
it'll say p
hit power
now you have control
if you want to uh adjust all that stuff
now you basically just eliminated the
thermostat out of the mix
now
if you want to
if they limit you down to 63 degrees for
say or if they only need 86 which is
what they got to set here
you can set it to the default setting of
60 to 90 degrees basically in order to
do that you hold up and high
and it'll cycle through
a numbers
and what you want is a8 so they
basically just hold it till you get to
a8
and that will allow you to
go from 60 degrees to 90 degrees
in your room
um just make sure you change this back
when you leave
by holding the
these buttons until it gets back to a a1
um
and then basically you want to change it
back to obviously the thermostat
see now i can go to 60 degrees
so basically if you want to change it
back to the thermostat you got to shut
it off
hit the up and heat
and let's just say r
and now it's back to the room thermostat
again
so
um you can't control this at all anymore
and you're back to this thermostat again
so they won't know you did anything at
all
so that's a nice hack if you have that
particular unit and you're at a best
buster and uh
trying to get yourself some more heat or
some air conditioning
