Setting Your Energy Saving Programs
Tips Before Starting
5.4.1
• It is important for you to set the current time of day (note AM/PM indicator in display), and the current day of 
week correctly to avoid problems with program execution. This must be done prior to entering any program 
settings.
• Both the heating and cooling programs use the same setpoint times, but allow different setpoint 
temperatures.
• This thermostat is pre-programmed with setpoint times and temperatures recommended by the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency & the U.S. Department of Energy in their Energy Star program. These settings 
provide efficient energy savings during normal heating and cooling modes of operation. Review these time and 
temperature settings prior to establishing your personal program settings to maximize your savings, & minimize 
programming requirements.
• Make sure you place the system switch in the HEAT or COOL modes of operation as appropriate. The 
thermostat will not allow you to enter a program in the OFF position. The EMER (Emergency Heat) mode will be 
considered the same as the HEAT mode of operation for programming purposes. We do not recommend 
programming in the EMER mode.
• When you place the system switch in the COOL, OFF, HEAT or EMER, modes of operation, the appropriate 
indicator will also appear in the LCD display when the system is running.
Whole Week –
allows you to program all seven days (M, TU,W, TH, F, SA, SU will show in display) at the same 
time. Then you can use individual day programming to fine tune your program for the few 
setpoint times or temperatures that you may wish to change.
Weekday –
allows you to program all the weekdays (M, TU,W, TH, F will show in display) at the same 
time. Then go to Weekend group mode to finish programming your weekend setpoint times 
and temperatures. Individual day programming can be used to fine tune your settings to 
match your daily needs.
Weekend –
allows you to program the weekend days (SA, SU will show in the display) at the same time. 
Again, individual day programming can be used to change specific setpoint times or 
temperatures.
5.4.2
Using Quick Program Groups or Individual Day Programming
Once you enter program mode, you can select the Quick Program Group or Individual Day 
Programs as you desire.
See
Entering Your Program
section
You can select one of three Quick Program Groups or Individual Day programming to allow you 
to change the daily setpoint times and temperatures to meet your individual schedule needs. 
The Quick Program Groups can be used to set the main portion of your schedule, allowing you 
to later modify specific days of the week as required using the Individual Day programming 
capabilities.

The temperature sensed by the thermostat is lower than the 40˚ 
F (5˚ C) lower limit of the thermostats display range. The display 
will return to normal after the sensed temperature rises within 
the 40˚ to 99˚ F (5˚ to 37˚ C) display range. If the temperature in 
the controlled space seems to be normal, wait for the 
thermostat to acclimate to the correct room temperature. If the 
room seems to be colder than usual, turn on the heating system 
to raise the temperature as needed for comfort within the room.
This condition could occur from the system being turned off 
during a cold weather period or upon installation when the 
thermostat has been stored for a long period of time in a cold 
vehicle or location prior to being installed. The thermostat 
should be allowed to warm up prior to installation to allow 
proper heating control once installed.
