which programmable thermostats will work with your system, call Honeywell Customer Assistance at 1-800-468-1502.

Three thermostat wires?

If you have three wires for heating only and can operate the fan using the fan ON switch, this thermostat will work with your system. However, some hot water (zoned) heating systems have three thermostat wires. The thermostat will not work without installing an isolating relay on these systems. For details, call Honeywell Customer Assistance at 1-800-468-1502.

■■ Install the batteries in back of the thermostat

As the batteries are running low, a REPL BAT indicator will flash for 1 to 2 months before batteries run out completely. Replace the batteries as soon as possible after the indicator starts flashing.

If you insert new batteries within 20 to 30 seconds of removing the old ones, you will not have to reprogram the thermostat. However, if the display is blank, the batteries are dead or incorrectly installed. In this case, you will have to reprogram. See pages 13 through 15 to reprogram. If you do not reprogram, the factory-preprogrammed

Although the thermostat has a low battery indicator, replace the batteries once a year to prevent leakage and 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 system from shutting down due to lack of battery power.

Use fresh alkaline batteries; nonalkaline batteries do not last as long, and may leak, causing damage to the thermostat or the wall surface. We recommend Energizer

batteries.

Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ Selection

Before you program your thermostat, you must decide if you want to leave the thermostat at the factory-set Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ setting, or adjust it to conventional recovery. If you choose conventional recovery, adjust screw 3A (on the back of the thermostat) by turning one turn.

With Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™, your home gradually reaches the comfort temperature you set at the exact time programmed into the thermostat to achieve maximum energy savings and comfort.

out

This thermostat is actually a small but powerful computer. When calculating the exact time to turn on your furnace or air conditioner, it considers: (1) air temperature, (2) the temperature of the wall and (3) when you want the comfort temperature established.

During recovery, the thermostat increases the control temperature gradually and turns the equipment on and off several times

before

reaching your comfort time to save energy by avoiding overshooting the comfort temperature. You can see the current control temperature anytime during recovery by pressing the CURRENT SETTING key.

This smart control learns from experience. Each day it checks how closely it hit the target and adjusts the recovery start time accordingly. It normally takes

four to eight days after installation

for the thermostat to adjust to the weather, your lifestyle, home construction and heating/cooling system.

With conventional recovery, the programmed time marks the start of the time your furnace or air conditioner comes on to start recovery; therefore, you should program the start time to be earlier than the desired comfort time. The best starting time varies as the seasons change, but 30 minutes is a good head start time to use.

NOTE: If you adjust screw

3A for conventional recovery, a ■■ indicator appears in the lower right corner of the thermostat display as a reminder that you are no longer using the Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ feature.
