Default Schedule
The thermostat’s schedule is factory programmed in accordance with the EnergyStar guidelines for
START TIMES and SETPOINTS (listed below).
This default schedule may be modified as desired to meet your comfort and schedule requirements.
The thermostat anticipates the time required to reach a desired temperature prior to the start of the
SETPOINT time; therefore, you only need to set the desired time for the SETPOINT temperature.

Heating and Cooling Modes
The thermostat is pre-set for heating operation (HEAT) but you can manually change the operating
mode between AUTO, HEAT, COOL, OFF, and EMERG.
Choose MODE from the Main Menu to view this screen.
Use the SCROLL buttons to select the desired operating mode.
Press SELECT and EXIT to engage the operating mode.
AUTO: The thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling based on the indoor
temperature.
HEAT: The thermostat controls only the heating system.
COOL: The thermostat controls only the cooling system.
OFF: Heating and cooling systems are off.
EMERG: This setting only applies to heat pumps with auxiliary heat. The thermostat only
controls the Emergency (Auxiliary) heat leaving the heat pump’s compressor
locked out. Use this setting only when you suspect the heat pump is out of service
or the outdoor conditions are inefficient for the operation of the heat pump.

Fan Modes
You can manually change the fan mode between AUTO and ON.
Choose MODE from the Main Menu to view this screen.
SCROLL through the operating modes to get to the fan modes,
then press SELECT and EXIT to engage the desired fan mode.
AUTO: The fan runs only when the heating, cooling, or emergency systems are on. For
conventional systems, with the option FAN ON IN HEAT set to NO, the fan is not
controlled by the thermostat but by the furnace. Configuration of the FAN ON IN HEAT
setting is described in the Installation section of this manual.
ON: The fan runs continuously.

Temperature Settings
A SETPOINT is identified by a NAME and specifies heating and cooling target temperatures.
Example: If the SETPOINT is set to WAKE, with COOL temperature of 78°F and HEAT temperature
of 70°F, a thermostat operating in AUTO mode will keep your dwelling’s temperature at the
predefined HEAT or COOL temperature. In the summer, the thermostat will COOL your dwelling
down to 78°F. In the fall, the thermostat will engage the HEAT mode, heating your dwelling up to
70°F throughout the winter. In the spring, when temperatures rise again, the thermostat will change
back to COOL mode.
The SETPOINT’s HEAT and COOL temperature can be changed using the SETPOINTS menu.
Choose SETPOINTS from the Main Menu to view this screen.
To change the HEAT and COOL temperature settings, SCROLL
to the SETPOINT you want to change and press SELECT.
SCROLL to change the temperature, or press SELECT to move
between the HEAT and COOL settings.
Press the LEFT TAB to SAVE temperature changes.

Schedule
The SCHEDULE determines when a SETPOINT such as WAKE begins. Only the start times are
defined; the SETPOINT ends at the start of the next SETPOINT. To delete a start time, SCROLL to
the start time, and select NOT USED as the SETPOINT.
Choose SCHEDULE from the main MENU to view the Schedule
screen.
The PROGRAM window displays the SETPOINT associated with the

the start time.
Change the name NOT USED to an appropriate SETPOINT after
you have added the start time.
