Batteries
Two “AA” alkaline batteries are included with your thermostat.
Prior to use, open the battery door and remove the battery tag. We recommend replacing batteries every 2 years, for best results, use new premium brand alkaline batteries such as Duracell ® or Energizer ® . When battery power remaining is approximately half, the will be displayed.
Change
Indicates batteries are low and should be replaced
BATTERY LOCATION

CAUTION
If the home is going to be unoccupied for an extended period (over 3 months) and is displayed, the batteries should be replaced before leaving. When less than two months of battery life remain, the setpoint temperature will change by 10 degrees (10 degrees cooler in Heat / 10 degrees warmer in Cool) to alert you to change the batteries before they fail. If the temperature change occurs, the normal setpoint can be manually reset. However, the temperature will change by 10 degrees within two days if the batteries are not replaced.
WARNING
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage.
Higher voltage will damage control and could cause shock or fire hazard.
Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will damage thermostat and could cause personal injury and/or property damage.
Thermostat installation and all components of the system shall conform to Class II (current limited) circuits per the NEC code. Failure to do so could cause a fire hazard.

Change Home, Sleep and Away Temperature Pre-sets

1. Move SYSTEM switch to HEAT position.
2. Using the or button, set the desired temperature.
3. Press and hold the Home, Sleep, or Away button for 3 seconds. The display will go blank (except for the battery icon and heat/cool icon) and back on again indicating that the thermostat has saved your pre-set.
4. Repeat the process for the remaining Pre-sets to be changed.
5. Move SYSTEM switch to COOL to Pre-set Temperatures for cooling.

Use Home, Sleep and Away Temperature Pre-Sets

1. Press the Home, Sleep, or Away button. The display will show the icon for the button pressed and display the temperature setting.
2. The thermostat will maintain the selected pre-set temperature until you change it by pressing the or button or selecting another Pre-set Temperature.

Sleep Timer Option
The sleep timer will automatically change the thermostat from the Sleep to Home temperature after the number of hours set in the configuration menu. The Sleep timer default is 8 hours and can be changed to a setting between 1 to 12 hours. Example: You have selected 8 hours for the Sleep timer in the configuration menu. Press the Sleep button, the thermostat will maintain the sleep temperature for 8 hours. After 8 hours the thermostat will go back to the Home temperature. The Sleep timer will be activated each time the sleep button is pressed.
Change Filter Reminder Option
The thermostat can display a reminder when it is time to change the air filter on your heating and cooling system. The Change Filter will automatically display after the number of hours set in the configuration menu. The change filter reminder time default is 200 hours and can be changed to a setting of 25 to 1975 hours; 200 hours is approximately 3 months. Example: You have selected 250 hours for the change filter reminder. The thermostat will display change filter after 250 it has counted down 250 hours. When “Change Filter” is displayed, press the or button to clear the display and restart the timer.
Cool Savings™ Option
With Cool Savings enabled, the thermostat will make small adjustments to the desired temperature during periods of high demand to reduce cooling system running time and save energy. When the cooling system has been running for more than 20 minutes, humidity in the home will be lower and a higher temperature will feel comfortable. After 20 minutes of run time, the thermostat will start increasing the desired temperature in steps of less than one degree as the system continues to run. These adjustments will eventually cause the system to satisfy the thermostat and turn the system off to reduce the energy consumption. When the Cool Savings feature is active and making adjustments, the display will flash “Save”. The amount of adjustments to the desired temperature is dependent on the Cool Savings value that is set, 1 being the least adjustment and 6 being the most adjustment. With this feature set to OFF, no change will occur when the cooling system is continuously running during the periods of high demand. Periods of high demand will normally occur during the late afternoon and early evening on the hottest days of the summer.
