- Heat: System is in Heating mode.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD.Do not use Cooling mode when the outdoor temperature is below 50°F (10°C).
Fan switch (Auto/On)
Use the Fan switch to select the fan operation.
- Auto: The fan runs only when heating or cooling is activated (commonly used setting).
- On: The fan runs continuously.
Using the schedule
Press the Run button to follow the programmed schedule. For maximum energy savings while maintaining comfort, you can program the schedule such that the temperature is at an economical level when you sleep or leave for work and at a comfortable level when you are awake and at home. You can program up to four periods per day:
| Wake | Starts when you wake up |
| Leave | Starts when you leave for work |
| Return | Starts when you return home |
| Sleep | Starts when you go to sleep |
To program a period, you need to set its start time and its two temperature settings (one when the thermostat is in cooling mode and another one when it is in heating mode). The same settings are used every day from Monday to Friday and another set of settings are used for Saturday and Sunday. For example, you could program all four periods for the weekdays but only two periods (Wake and Sleep) for the weekends.

Built-in compressor protection
Your thermostat has a feature that helps prevent damage to the compressor of your air conditioning or heat pump system. Because damage can occur if the compressor is restarted too soon after shutdown, this feature forces the compressor to wait 5 minutes before restarting. During the wait time, the message Cool On or Heat On flashes on the screen. When the safe wait time has elapsed, the message stops flashing and the compressor turns on.
Battery replacement
Set the System switch to Off before removing the batteries. Otherwise, the heating/cooling system could remain activated even when batteries are removed.
Install two fresh AAA batteries when Lo Batt flashes on the screen. Lo Batt appears for 60 days before the batteries are depleted.Replace batteries once a year, or when you will be awayfor more than a month.Most settings are stored in non-volatile (permanent) memory.
