Fan Control

???If FAN AUTO is selected, the fan will cycle On/Off with the system. If FAN ON is selected, the Fan will be on all the time.

Auto Changeover

The auto changeover feature is a special operation of the thermostat that does not require the user to change the system mode from heating to cooling. Once the programs are set and the thermostat is put in the AUTO mode, the switching from heating to cooling is accomplished completely by the thermostat.

???LCD backlight is activated when any key is pressed. Any subsequent key press or switch change will extend the period. When there is no key pressed for five seconds, the backlight will automatically turn off.

???The LCD backlight will not operate when there is no external 24 VAC or 24 VDC power supplied.
