Thermostat buttons The thermostat has buttons that are accessible on the front panel when you holiday holiday occ unocc occ3 occ2 a open the front cover. These buttons are used for various functions such as raising or lower the desired setpoint and changing the current mode. See Figure 2.
Setting time and date This thermostat communicates wirelessly with a communication network. It automatically obtains the current time and date from the communication network. In the event of loss of network communication, you can manually set the time and date by following the instructions below. If you notice that the time is not adjusted for daylight saving time you can adjust the hour at any time by following Steps 1,2, and 3 below.

Setting time and date 6. To set the month, press the soft button below the letter M (month), then press the up or down button to adjust the value. Stop at the desired month. 7. To set the day of the month, press the soft button below the letter D (day), then press the up or down button to adjust the value.
Setting or changing heating/cooling setpoints Your thermostat is installed with pre-set heating and cooling temperature setpoints. You can use these or change them so your home is as warm or as cool as you would like it to be. You can also temporarily change the tempera- ture after you've programmed your thermostat according to your specific schedule needs.

When there are arrow indicators next to both the wordsheat and cool at the top right of the screen, the heating and cooling temperatures are also displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Holding the temperature Follow the steps below to change your programmed temperature settings and hold the temperature at a specific setting without the temperature changing during the next programmed period. 1. Open the thermostat door. 2. Press the schedule button located at the top of the display. The arrow will move to the word hold under the button.
Programming the thermostat Unlike many thermostats, this one gives you the option of programming every day of the week differently. It is pre-programmed at the factory with the same settings for all seven days. See the table below. Table 1 Schedule Factory Settings...

Programming a vacation schedule 8. Press the done button. 9. Close the thermostat door. Activating your vacation program: You must schedule a return date to activate your vacation settings before leaving. The thermostat will begin following the vacation schedule after you've selected the return date.
Overriding a Utility Curtailment The thermostat allows your local utility to remotely adjust (curtail) the operation and temperature of your air conditioning or heating system for short periods of time - only when absolutely necessary, to help minimize the load on the electric system during periods of peak usage in your area.
Turning heating/cooling system off / Using fan Using the thermostat to turn the heating and cooling system off: 1. Open the thermostat door. 2. Press the mode button repeatedly until the arrow under the button is next to off. 3. Close the thermostat door. Using the fan: When the fan is on, it helps distribute air throughout your home for a more even temperature in all spaces.
Using Emergency Heat Using Emergency Heat: 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 thermostat display indicator for this is auxiliary 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...
Reset reminders The thermostat will display a check filter message when it is time to change the furnace filter. When the reminder is displayed on the screen, pressing and holding the done button for about three seconds will clear the reminder. To reset the check filter reminder: 1.
Adjusting backlighting Adjusting or turning off the continuous backlighting: You can setup your thermostat so that it uses a low level amount of backlight- ing until you press any button, which increases the lighting temporarily. You can adjust the intensity of the backlighting or turn if off completely. The range is off (OF) 1 to 5 brightness.
Keypad Lockout The keypad lockout feature lets you "lock" the thermostat at one of three levels. These levels increasingly limit anyone's ability to make changes. The levels are: 0F - The feature is turned off. 1 - You can change temperature settings, time of day, and day of the week only 2 - You can change temperature settings only 3 - The entire keypad is locked, allowing no changes...

Real-time pricing Your utility may offer real-time pricing, which is an electric rate pricing strategy where rates vary over short time intervals, typically hourly. You, as a con- sumer, can benefit from real-time pricing if you are able to shift or reduce your electric consumption during high cost periods.
Page 33
Real-time pricing To override/cancel temperature setpoint adjustment during a real- time pricing event: 1. Open the thermostat door. 2. Press the soft button below override. The words saving mode or critical saving mode will disappear. The thermostat temperature setpoint will return to your previous user-programmed value. 3.
Page 34
Real-time pricing 1. Open the thermostat door. 2. Press and simultaneously hold the soft buttons below the heat and cool setpoints (the two bottom buttons on the right) until the screen displays the check filter reset reminder and 01 in the lower right corner. 3.
Time-of-use/peak pricing Your utility may offer time-of-use pricing, which is an electric rate pricing strategy where rates vary dependent on utility-designated peak and non-peak time of day. Your utility will provide you with pricing details. You, as a con- sumer, can benefit from time-of-use/peak pricing if you are able to shift or reduce your electric consumption during peak price periods.
Page 36
Time-of-use/peak pricing To override/cancel temperature setpoint adjustment during a peak pricing event: 1. Open the thermostat door. 2. Press the soft button below override. The words saving mode will disappear. The thermostat temperature setpoint will return to your previous user-programmed value. 3.
Page 37
Time-of-use/peak pricing To setup time-of-use/peak pricing temperature setpoint offsets: 1. Open the thermostat door. 2. Press and hold the soft buttons below the heat and cool setpoints simultaneously (the two bottom buttons on the right) until the screen displays the check filter reset reminder and 01 in the lower right corner. 3.
Hybrid heat, Service reminders, Auto change Hybrid Heat (heat pump with a furnace system only): This thermostat works with Carrier Hybrid Heat systems offering maximum comfort and economy by automatically controlling whether your system delivers heating with the heat pump, with the furnace, or with both options working together.
Smart recovery, Troubleshooting Smart Recovery: The Smart Recovery feature transitions your home from one temperature period (wake, day, evening, sleep) to the next so that the your home's temperature matches the temperature setpoint at the start of each time period. This means, for example, that if your sleep period temperature setting is lower than the period that precedes it, the thermostat will start cooling down the home before the beginning of the scheduled sleep period.
Troubleshooting is displayed. You have to turn on emergency heat manually - it doesn't happen automatically - so if you see Em heat on the display, it means someone has turned it on. • There is a Power Outage: If you lose electricity, you will not need to reprogram your thermostat. The settings are retained in memory.
