Introduction.

This two-part wireless thermostat sustem is designed to provide precision temperature control
without the installation headaches and expense of wiring. Powered by four AA batteries, the
thermostat will operate for approximately 1 ueaL and can be mounted in an Usuitable location
that will ensure good temperature control. A large LCD displag provides the user with current
space temperature, set point temperature, time, program interval and other sustem status
information. The second part of the system is the receiver: The receiver interfaces with the
desired HVAC equipment and communicates with its thermostat using unlicensed 900iVlHz
radio frequency energ U.At the time of installation, the thermostat is linked to one or more

receivers. A thermostat and receiver that have been linked will not interfere with or be affected
by any other thermostat or receiver in adjacent rooms, apartments or neighboring homes.

Batteries.

Installing/Changing

A low batterg icon [_ will light on the thermostat display when the batteries are within a
week or two of being exhausted. The thermostat is designed to use standard AA-size 1.5 volt
batteries. If the batteries are depleted, the heating/cooling sgstem will go to the OFF state.

Replacing Batteries

To open the thermostat, remove the security screw Thermostat
(#2 Phillips or #2 security screw). Using both hands, press cover Baseplate
the two push-tabs on the bottom of the thermostat housing
with gour thumbs, while pulling the front of the thermostat Latches
awag from the base.

The thermostat operates with 4 AA batteries.

Note that the UP, DOWN and HEAT/COOL
buttons are also used in setting the clock and programming the thermostat and linking to

receiver(s). This will be covered in the following sections of the manual.
The four buttons located on the left side of the thermostat control the display of the

temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius, programming and clock set up. These buttons
also allow manual or program control.

• F/C - Toggles between the Fahrenheit and Celsius displays

• Program set-up button

Bocklight.

A single button on the right side of the thermostat activates the display backlight. The backlight
will illuminate the display after the last button is pressed. Backlighting takes significant energy
from the batteries and should be used sparingly. Frequent use of the backlight function will
noticeably reduce battery life.
