User Preferences

There are several aspects of spa operation that you can 
customize using the User Preferences submenu.

Press “Temp” then “Jets”, then “Light”. (Each press must 
be within 3 seconds of the previous press.) At this point, 
if “

” is not showing on the display, press “Temp” 

until you see “

” on the display. Then press “Jets” to 

enter the User Preferences submenu.

Once in the User Preferences submenu, press “Temp” to 
cycle between these settings:

 – Suppress Reminders

When set to “

”, reminders are never displayed 

on the panel. When set to “

”, reminders are 

displayed on the panel periodically.

 – Temperature in Celsius

When set to “

”, temperatures are displayed on 

the panel in degrees Celsius. When set to “

”,

temperatures are displayed in Fahrenheit.

 – 24-hour Time Display

When set to “

”, time is displayed in 24-hour 

(military) format (00:00 is midnight, 23:00 is one 
hour before midnight). When set to “

”, time 

is displayed in 12-hour (am/pm) format (12:00 is 
midnight, 11:00 pm is one hour before midnight).

 – Clean-up Cycle Duration (some systems only)

When set to “

”, Clean-up Cycles are disabled. 

When set to “

” through “

”, the number 

indicates how many hours each Clean-up Cycle 
will run.

 – Dolphin II Address

When set to “

”, no addressing is used. Use this 

setting for a Dolphin I, or for a Dolphin II which is 
set for no address (which is the Dolphin II factory 
default). When set to “

” through “

”, the 

number is the address (see your Dolphin II manual 
for details).

Editing User Preferences

View the setting.

The left two characters (before the decimal point) tell 
you what setting you’re viewing or editing, the right most 
character (after the decimal point) tells you the value of 
that setting (for example, “ ” for Yes or “ ” for No).

If the value is flashing, you’re editing it. If the value is 
not flashing, you’re just viewing it.

Press “Jets” to switch editing of the value on (flashing) 
or off (not flashing).

Once you’re editing the value (it’s flashing), use the 
“Temp” buttons to change the value to the one you want.

After you change the value, you must press “Jets” again 
to stop the flashing before the change will register, and 
before you can view or edit another setting.

If you don’t interact with the menu for more than 
30 seconds, it may time out.

If you press “Light” to back out of the menu, or pause 
long enough for it to time out, while a value was 
flashing, the changes you were making to that setting 
are not remembered. But changes you previously made 
to other settings will be in effect.

Any User Preferences that you change will stay in 
effect “forever” or until you change them again (unless 
the spa’s “persistent memory” is reset by a service 
technician), and will override the factory defaults for 
those settings.
