Battery Door Information
Pull the thermostat directly away from the wall to access the batteries. A firm tug will be required to remove the thermostat from the subbase mounted on the wall.
Caution:
When the battery icon appears replace your AA batteries immediately. Failure to do so may result in your heating & cooling system becoming inoperable. Freezing or overheating can occur.
Important:
The low battery indicator is displayed when the AA battery power is low. If the user fails to replace the battery within 21 days, the screen will only show the low battery indicator but maintain all functionality. If the user fails to replace the batteries after an additional 21 days (days 22-42 since first “low battery” display) the setpoints will change to 55˚F (Heating) and 85˚F (Cooling). If the user adjusts the setpoint away from either of these, it will hold for 4 hours then return to either 55˚F or 85˚F. After day 63 the batteries must be replaced immediately to avoid freezing or overheating because the thermostat will shut the unit off until the batteries are changed.
