pressing the orange up or blue down arrows
at the bottom of the screen twice.
f. Select "Off" next to the "Aux Input #1 Config"
label.
g. Change the "Aux #1 Config" value from "Off"
to "Shutdown" by pressing the orange up
button at the bottom of the screen two times.
After each press of the orange up button
the value next to the "Aux #1 Config" label
should change.
7. Entering the Test Mode
a. Press the back arrow in the bottom left of the
screen 3 times to return to the home screen
showing the inside temperature.
b. Press the "Service" button on the home
screen.

or blue down arrow at the bottom of the
"installer checkout" screen.
NOTE: Any faults must be resolved before
the system will start. See the troubleshooting
guide in this manual for assistance.
