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.

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 STOR-

at the same time. There is no need to re-enter the thermostat
at the beginning of each season.
• TEMPERATURE SETTING — Press
display 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. Clipping W904 jumper on the circuit board (see
fig. 1) will alter this feature to Celsius temperature setting.
• LOW BATTERY INDICATOR — If the 2 "AAA" alkaline
batteries are low and should be replaced, the display will be
blank except for "LO BATTERY". When the batteries are low,
pressing any button will cause the display to operate for ten
seconds. After ten seconds, the display will be blank except for
"LO BATTERY". After "LO BATTERY" has been displayed for
4 weeks, the thermostat will raise the temperature 10 above
your setpoint in COOL mode and drop the temperature 10
