Program Schedule

You can program four time periods each day, with different settings for weekdays and weekends. We recommend the pre-set settings (shown in the table below), since they can reduce your heating/cooling expenses.

Wake - Set to the time you awaken and the temperature you want during the morning, until you leave for the day.

Leave - Set to the time you leave home and the temperature you want while you are away (usually an energysaving level).

Return - Set to the time you return home and the temperature you want during the evening, until bedtime.

Sleep - Set to the time you go to bed and the temperature you want overnight (usually an energy-saving level).

	Heat	Cool
Wake (6:00 am)	70°	75°
Leave (8:00 am)	62°	83°
Return (6:00 pm)	70°	75°
Sleep (10:00 pm)	62°	78°

NOTE: Leave and Return periods can be canceled on weekends.

To adjust program schedules

1. Press SCHEDULE, then EDIT to see weekdays.
   
   
2. Press SELECT DAY to highlight Mon-Fri (they will share the same settings).
3. Press NEXT STEP twice, then press or to set Wake time for selected days.
4. Press NEXT STEP, then or to set Heat temperature for this time period.
5. Press NEXT STEP, then or to set Cool temperature for this time period.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 to program other time periods (LEAVE, RETURN, SLEEP), then press DONE.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 to program Saturday/Sunday. (Press or until the desired day is flashing, then press SELECT DAY.)
8. Press DONE to save & exit.
   

Program schedule override (temporary)

Press or to immediately adjust the temperature. This will temporarily override the temperature setting for the current time period.

The new temperature will be maintained until the next time period.

When the timer expires, the program schedule will resume and set the temperature to the level you've programmed for the current time period.

To cancel the temporary setting at any time, press USE SCHEDULE.

Program schedule override (permanent)

Press or to adjust temperature, then press HOLD. This will turn off the program schedule.

Whatever temperature you set will be maintained 24 hours a day, until you manually change it, or press USE SCHEDULE to cancel "Hold" and resume the program schedule.

Auto changeover

Use this feature in climates where both air conditioning and heating are used on the same day. When the system mode is in Auto, the thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling depending on the indoor temperature.

While in the Auto mode, if a schedule override takes place (temporarily or permanently) the thermostat will automatically adjust the cooling and heating settings to maintain a 3-degree separation between the cool and heat settings.

For example, if the heat temperature is raised to where it gets within 3-degrees of the cool setting, the display will show an up arrow next to "Cool" to show the thermostat is raising the cool setting up to maintain a 3-degree separation.

The display will also show both "Auto" and either "Heat" or "Cool" for which temperature setting you are currently adjusting. Press the system button to select between the heat and cool to view/adjust either mode.

To avoid possible compressor damage, do not use Auto Changeover if the outside temperature drops below 50°F (10°C).

Filter reminder

If activated during installation, the furnace filter reminder alerts you when it is time to replace your filter.

Press RESET after changing the filter, to restart the timer.

To reset the reminder interval before it expires:

1. Press MORE, then NEXT.
2. Press RESET.
   
3. Press DONE to save and exit.
   

Special features

Smart Response^® Technology: This feature allows the thermostat to "learn" how long the furnace and air conditioner take to reach programmed temperature settings, so the temperature is reached at the time you set. For example: Set the Wake time to 6 am, and the temperature to 70°. The heat will come on before 6 am, so the temperature is 70° by the time you wake at 6. The message "Recovery" is displayed when the system is activated before a scheduled time period.

Compressor Protection: This feature forces the compressor to wait a few minutes before restarting, to prevent equipment damage. During the wait time, the message "Wait" is displayed on screen.

Auto Changeover: This feature is used in climates where both air conditioning and heating are used on the same day. When the system is set to Auto, the thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling depending on the indoor temperature. Heat and cool settings must be at least 3 degrees apart. The thermostat will automatically adjust settings to maintain this 3-degree separation.

Battery replacement

Batteries are optional (to provide backup power) if your thermostat was wired to run on AC power when installed.

Install fresh batteries immediately when the LO BATT warning begins flashing. The warning flashes about 30 days before batteries are depleted. Even if the warning does not appear, you should replace batteries once a year, or before leaving home for more than a month.

Grasp thermostat and pull to remove from wallplate

Turn thermostat over, insert fresh AA alkaline batteries, then reinstall thermostat.
