The Vista , Grandee , Envoy and Vanguard spas are equipped with a SpAudio ready auxiliary control panel. This auxiliary panel will allow you
to control the light and jets features, and controls the volume and the equalization of the SpAudio music system if SpAudio is installed on your spa.

For SpAudio sound control, the "Mode " button must be pressed followed by another auxiliary panel button to make an audio change. To increase
or decrease the volume, first press the "Mode" button once followed by the LIGHT / VOLUME PLUS (+) or the LIGHT / VOLUME MINUS (-) button
as many times as desired (within 5 seconds of each key press) to increase or decrease the volume of the SpAudio system. The auxiliary panel
reverts back to normal function if a key is not pressed within the 5 second time frame. SpAudio has 15 volume level settings to choose from.
To change the equalization of the SpAudio sound, press the SpAudio "Mode" button once followed by the JETS / TONE BUTTON as many times
as desired (within 5 seconds of each key press). The auxiliary panel reverts back to normal function if a key is not pressed within the 5 second time
frame. There are 5 different preset equalization levels to choose from.

115 VOLT GFCI

The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter is a safety device that is designed to detect as little as 5 milliamps (±1mA) of electrical
current leakage to ground. Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends that the GFCI be tested prior to each use to
ensure it is functioning correctly. With the spa connected to the power supply, push the TEST button. The spa should stop
operating and the GFCI power indicator will go out. Wait 30 seconds and then reset the GFCI by pushing the RESET
button. The GFCI power indicator will turn on, restoring power to the spa. If the interrupter does not perform in this manner,
it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the plug from the
receptacle until the fault has been identified and corrected.
NOTE: Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the GFCI may cause the spa's POWER indicator (on the control panel) to
blink. If this occurs, repeat the GFCI test procedure.
CAUTION: Never use the GFCI as a means to disconnect power to the spa (always unplug it). If the GFCI is tripped while the spa is plugged
in, and a power outage occurs, when power returns the GFCI will automatically reset and power will flow to the spa.

LIGHT

®
All Hot Spring spas come equipped with a specially designed low voltage dimmable LED light to enhance nighttime use. The light source should
never need replacing in normal use.

SUMMER MODE

Your Hot Spring spa is equipped with a Summer Mode timer. The Summer Mode timer can be activated during extremely hot summer months if it
becomes difficult to maintain water temperatures low enough for comfort. Upon switching to the ON mode, the heater will immediately shut down
while the circulation pump (which can add heat to the water through normal operation) will remain on for approximately 5 minutes for heater cool-
down. Both heater and circulation pump will remain off for the next eight hours. Additionally, the summer mode display on the main control panel
will activate and remain active for as long as the summer mode is on. Following this eight-hour period, the circulation pump and heater will
automatically restart and will operate normally for the next sixteen hours. The circulation pump and heater will continue to turn off for an eight-hour
period every day that the switch remains in the ON position. In this way, the amount of heat transferred to the spa water will be minimized. When
the outside temperatures begin to cool, the Summer Mode timer should be turned to the OFF position (the summer mode display on the main
control panel will go out). This is the efficient 24 hour circulation mode that keeps the heater operation and operating costs to a minimum during
colder/heavier usage months.
