---|---|---
| SYMPTOM| POTENTIAL SOLUTION
Thermostat display is blank.| It is possible that AC power is not present at the thermostat. Check fuse, circuit breaker and thermostat wiring as appropriate to verify AC power is available.If AC Power is present, call a professional service technician immediately to verify thermostat and system performance.
HI is shown in the thermostat display where the room temperature is normally displayed.| The temperature sensed by the thermostat is higher than the 90˚ F (32˚ C) upper limit of the thermostats display range.The display will return to normal after the sensed temperature lowers within the 45˚ to 90˚ F (7˚ to 32˚ C) display range.

Turn on the cooling system or use other methods to lower the temperature accordingly.

This condition could occur from the system being turned off during an exceptionally warm period or upon installation when the thermostat has been stored for a long period of time in a warm vehicle or location prior to being installed. The thermostat is equipped with a mechanical high temperature safety switch that will turn off the thermostat should the temperature exceed 99˚ F (37˚ C).

LO is shown in the thermostat display where the room temperature is normally displayed.| The temperature sensed by the thermostat is lower than the 45˚ F (7˚ C) lower limit of the thermostats display range. The display will return to normal after the sensed temperature rises within the 45˚ to 90˚ F (7˚ to 32˚ C) display range. If the temperature in the controlled space seems to be normal, waitfor the thermostat to acclimate to the correct room temperature. If the room seems to be colder than usual, turn on the heating system to raise the temperature as needed for comfort within the room.

This condition could occur from the system being turned off during a cold weather period or upon installation when the thermostat has been stored for a long period of time in a cold vehicle or location prior to being installed. The thermostat should be allowed to warm up prior to installation to allow proper heating control once installed.
