• If set to “On,” the fan runs continuously.

Temperature controls

Press the temperature adjustment buttons until the temperature you want is displayed in the upper right portion of the screen.

Note: Make sure the SYSTEM switch is set to the system you want to control (Heat or Cool).

Built-in compressor protection

This feature helps prevent damage to the compressor in your air conditioning or heat pump system.

Damage can occur if the compressor is restarted too soon after shutdown. This feature forces the compressor to wait for a few minutes before restarting.

During the wait time, the display will flash the message Cool On or Heat On. When the safe wait time has elapsed, the message stops flashing and the compressor turns on.

Battery replacement

Batteries are optional if your thermostat was wired for AC power when installed. Install fresh batteries immediately when the REPLACE BATT warning begins flashing.

Even if the warning does not appear, you should replace batteries once a year, or before leaving home for more than a month.

Batteries provide backup power to the display during power interruptions. All settings are permanently stored in memory, and do not require battery power.

If you have difficulty with your thermostat, please try the following suggestions. Most problems can be corrected quickly and easily.
