## Manage Away Mode in the tepeo App to pause ZEB charging during absences, set a return date, and resume Smart, Custom, or Basic Charging easily.
### Setting Away Mode

- **Enable Away Mode:**
1. Select **Away Mode** from the app menu.
2. Tap **Enable Away Mode** and follow the on-screen instructions.
- **Edit or Disable Away Mode:**

- If no date is set, you will need to manually **disable Away Mode** before you require heating or hot water.
**Return Date:**Please note: Your ZEB will still do minimal charging for ’Frost Protection’, and will ‘Boost Charge’ if prompted.
