IMPORTANT
Although the thermostat has a low battery indicator, replace the batteries once a year to prevent the thermostat and heating/cooling system from shutting down due to lack of battery power.
As a precaution, when leaving home for longer than a month, change batteries before you leave to prevent the system from shutting down due to lack of battery power.
Programming Thermostat
When you program the thermostat, set one schedule for weekdays and another for weekends, because your temperature require- ments probably vary. (During weekends, only the WAKE and SLEEP time periods are available.)
Use the personal Program Schedule for planning your program schedule of time and temperature settings for various times of the day.
Four time periods are available during week-
Select WAKE if you want the house at a comfortable temperature when you get up, 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.)
Select LEAVE if you want an
Select RETURN if you want the house at a comfortable temperature for activities before bedtime. When deciding what time to set for your RETURN 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 arrive home. (Again, higher for heating or lower for cooling.)
Select SLEEP if you want an
Fill in the times and temperatures you desire for weekdays and weekends. If you decide not to program the thermostat, it automatically
controls heating at 68??F (20??C) and cooling at 78??F (26??C), 24 hours a day. Also, you do not need to enter a time and temperature program for all periods if your schedule does not require it. For example, a house that is occupied during weekdays would not require programs for LEAVE and RETURN.
When pressing the keys, use the ball of your finger or a soft pencil eraser.
NOTE: Using sharp fingernails or pencil points can damage the keypad.
If you make an error at any time during programming, press the Run Program key, and continue again at the last step.
