OPERATING THE THERMOSTAT 4. To return to your original programming schedule, press the hold/run button. The word hold will disappear. 5. Close the door. Using the thermostat to turn the heating and cooling system off Here’s how to use the thermostat to turn the heating and cooling system off. 1.
OPERATING THE THERMOSTAT Using the fan The fan function helps distribute warmth or cooling throughout your home for a more even temperature in all spaces. The thermostat is automatically set so that the fan runs only during your heating and cooling cycles (auto mode). However, you can adjust the settings so that the fan runs continuously, even between cycles or when the system is turned off.
OPERATING THE THERMOSTAT Using emergency heat (heat pump systems only) Emergency heat is useful when the automatic auxiliary heat system can’t keep up with demand. (Systems with heat pumps use “auxiliary heat” when it’s too cold outside for the heat pump to heat the house without help. The display indicator for this is aux heat on.) If the heat pump compressor that works with auxiliary heat fails, or if the heat pump isn’t working at all, you can turn on the emergency heat for that extra help.
OPERATING THE THERMOSTAT Changing the batteries Your thermostat is probably powered by the HVAC equipment, but if it isn’t, it’s battery powered. You can tell if it’s battery powered by checking in Advanced Programming Options. (See page 37.) If there’s no lighting until you touch a button, it’s battery powered.
Page 37
OPERATING THE THERMOSTAT We recommend that you replace the batteries at the one bar level with two AA alkaline batteries. They’re in the back of the thermostat, so you’ll have to remove it from the wall. Here’s how. 1. Locate the latch at the top of the thermostat. It’s at the cen- ter of the top rim.
Page 38
OPERATING THE THERMOSTAT 6. Install new batteries by matching the “plus” and “minus” ends of the batter- ies with the “plus” and “minus” indicators you’ll see outside the two white battery shapes in the space where the batteries sit. 7. Snap the batteries into place. 8.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Advanced programming display codes chart You can customize several features of your thermostat. This chart shows which features you can change and the codes associated with them. The codes will be shown on the display when you follow the instructions. Feature Configuration Code Change Indication...
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Changing from Fahrenheit to Celsius Your thermostat is preset to display the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. You can change this to Celsius. 1. Open the door. 2. Press and hold the home and sleep buttons under the dis- play simultaneously for about three seconds.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Turning off the continuous backlighting If your thermostat is not powered by the equipment and is instead battery powered, the display will light up for a few seconds after you press any button. This is backlighting. It will go dark after a few seconds. If the thermostat is powered by electricity, there is always a low level amount of backlighting until you press any button, which increases the lighting temporarily.
Page 42
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS 5. Press the done button on the right. 6. Close the door.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Keypad lockout The keypad lockout feature lets you “lock” the thermostat so nobody can change the temperature – or make any other changes – by pressing buttons. Keypad lockout is not activated when the thermostat is installed. Here’s how to activate it. 1.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Unlocking the keypad Here’s how to temporarily unlock the keypad. 1. Open the door. 2. Press and hold the up and down buttons on the right simultaneously for about five seconds. 3. The padlock icon will disappear. This means the keypad is unlocked and can be used.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Changing from programmable to nonprogrammable It is possible to convert your thermostat’s operation from programmable to nonprogrammable. This eliminates its advanced features. When switching to the nonprogrammable format, you lose the programming, hold, days of the week on the display, and Smart Recovery features.
Page 46
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS 4. Press the mode button on the left, P will flash. 5. Press the up button on the right to change it to nP for nonprogrammable 6. Press the done button on the right. 7. Close the door.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Changing the number of programming periods Your thermostat is preset with four time periods (P1, P2, P3, P4). You can change this to two. Here’s how to change the number of periods in the day. 1. Open the door. 2.
SPECIAL FEATURES Auto Changeover The thermostat displays one of five modes: heat, cool, Em heat (heat pump version only), heat cool, and off. When the mode selection is for both heating and cooling, the thermostat is in auto changeover mode. This allows the system to switch from heating to cooling –...
WHAT IF . . . The battery icon is displayed The battery icon appears on the display only when the battery starts to lose power. Replace it when one- third of the icon is black. If you wait until the icon is just a silhouette with no black bars, the thermostat won’t have the power to function correctly.
WHAT IF . . . There is a power outage If you lose electricity and have batteries installed, the thermostat will continue to display the status because it has a battery backup power source. This means that even though your heating and cooling system doesn’t work, you will still be able to monitor your home’s temperature.
COMMON TERMS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM Emergency heat (heat pump systems only) page 33 ....You can manually set the thermostat to use emergency heat but it is the most expensive option.
