Remote Thermostat Control
When connected to a remote thermostat, the indoor air
temperature sensing is shifted from the unit to the remote
thermostat. For this reason, the units will operate slightly
differently when connected to a remote thermostat. The
following chart shows the unit operation when connected to
a remote thermostat.

Temperature Boost option should not be used with remote
thermostat operation since this will cause the unit to switch to
resistance heat when outdoor temperatures are below 46°F.
