Setting Current Time and Day
The clock should never require adjustment since it automatically updates for daylight-saving time and stores all date/time information.

  1. Press CLOCK, then press ▲or▼ t to adjust the time. (Press and hold ▲or▼ t to advance the time more quickly.)
  2. Press DONE to save and exit (or press CANCEL to exit without changing the time).

  • HEAT: Thermostat controls only the heating system.
  • COOL: Thermostat controls only the cooling system.
  • OFF: Heating and cooling systems are off.
  • AUTO: Thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling depending on the indoor temperature.
  • EM HEAT (only for heat pumps with auxiliary heat):

It’s easy to program your system for maximum energy savings. You can program four time periods with different settings. Times can be programmed in 15-minute increments.

  1. Press SCHED, then press EDIT.
  2. Press day buttons to select day(s).
  3. Press s or t to set WAKE time for selected day(s).
  4. Press s or t to set HEAT and COOL temperature for this time period.

Press FAN to select fan operation, then press DONE.

  • ON: Fan is always on.
  • AUTO: Fan runs only when the heating or cooling system is on.
  • CIRC: Fan runs randomly, about 35% of the time, not counting any run time with the heating or cooling system.

You can press FAN to override the fan settings you have programmed for different time periods. If you select ON or CIRC, the setting you select remains active until you press FAN again to select AUTO.
Temporary setting Changes
The thermostat enables you to temporarily change your settings without losing any pre-programmed schedules.
Press s or t to immediately adjust the temperature. This temporarily overrides the temperature setting for the current time period.
The new temperature is maintained only until the next preprogrammed time begins.
For example, if you want to turn up the heat early in the morning, it will automatically be adjusted later, according to the pre-programmed schedule.
To cancel the temporary setting at any time, press CANCEL or SCHED. The pre- programmed schedule resumes.
Permanent setting Changes
The thermostat enables you to temporarily change your settings without losing any pre-programmed schedules.
Press s or t to immediately adjust the temperature.
This temporarily overrides the temperature setting for the current time period and when followed by pressing HOLD,
