Program The Thermostat - Honeywell T8131A Owner's Manual

Program the Thermostat

When batteries are installed, your thermostat
can be programmed in your hand, before it is
mounted on the wall.
If you would prefer to program the thermostat
after it is mounted on the wall, go to page 22,
and return later to this programming section.
Refer to the personal Program Schedule
(pages 14 and 15) to program your time and
temperature settings for various times of the
day.
Four time periods are available during week-
days—WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN, and SLEEP.
During weekends, only the WAKE and SLEEP
time periods are available. These periods can
be seen individually on the display as you
press the Set Schedule key.
WAKE is the time period you want the house at
a comfortable temperature when you get up
and while you get ready for work or school.
When deciding what time to set for your WAKE
period, include extra lead time, depending on
the outside temperature and your furnace
response time, to give the furnace a head start
to heat the house before you get up. (This will
be a higher temperature during heating
season, or a lower temperature during cooling
season.)
LEAVE is the time period you can set for an
energy-saving temperature while you are away
