CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION

NOTE: To prevent static discharge problems, touch side
of thermostat to release static build-up before touching
any keys.
If at any time during testing your system does not operate properly,
contact a qualifi ed service person.
FAN OPERATION
If your system does not have a G terminal connection, skip to
Heating System.
1. Turn on power to the system.
2. Move fan switch to ON position. The blower should begin to operate.
3. Move fan switch to AUTO position. The blower should stop
immediately.
COOLING SYSTEM
CAUTION
To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the
outdoor temperature is below 50°F, DO NOT operate the
cooling system.
This thermostat has a time delay between cooling cycles to allow
the head pressure in the compressor to stabilize. If the temperature
is adjusted to call for cool within 5 minutes of the last cycle the
Snowfl ake icon (
) will blink indicating the thermostat is locked
out. After 3 to 5 minutes, the compressor will start and the Snowfl ake
icon (
) will stop fl ashing. This helps prevent the compressor from
cycling too quickly and is normal operation for the thermostat.
1. Move SYSTEM switch to COOL position.
2. Press
to adjust thermostat setting below room temperature.
The blower should come on immediately on high speed, followed by
cold air circulation.
3. Press
to adjust temperature setting above room temperature.
The cooling system should stop operating.
HEATING SYSTEM
1. Move SYSTEM switch to HEAT position. If the heating system has
a standing pilot, be sure to light it.
2. Press
to adjust thermostat setting above room temperature.
The heating system should begin to operate.
3. Press
to adjust temperature setting below room
temperature. The heating system should stop operating.
CAUTION

THE THERMOSTAT BUTTONS AND SWITCHES
Before you begin using your thermostat, you should be familiar with
its features and with the display and the location and operation of the
thermostat buttons (see Figure 8). Your thermostat consists of two
parts: the thermostat cover and the base. To remove the cover, gently
pull it straight out from the base. To replace the cover, line up the cover
with the base and press gently until the cover snaps onto the base.

OPERATING FEATURES
Now that you are familiar with the thermostat buttons and display,
read the following information to learn about the many features of
the thermostat.
• SIMULTANEOUS HEATING/COOLING SETPOINT STORAGE –
You can enter both your heating and cooling setpoints at the same
time. There is no need to re-enter the setpoint at the beginning of
each season.
• TEMPERATURE SETTING – Press
shows the temperature you want. The thermostat will keep the
room temperature at the selected temperature.
• °F/°C CONVERTIBILITY – The factory default setting is
Fahrenheit. If you need Celsius temperature to be displayed, go
to menu mode and change the 6th option to C (see Confi guration
Menu, page 5).
• TEMPERATURE DISPLAY ADJUSTMENT – Your new
thermostat has been accurately set in our factory. However, if you
wish, you may adjust your new thermostat temperature display
to match your old thermostat. This can be accomplished (within a
±4° range) by going into the menu mode (see Confi guration Menu,
