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

Programming Thermostat
When you program the thermostat, set one
schedule for weekdays and another for
weekends, because your temperature requirements probably vary. (During weekends, only
the WAKE and SLEEP time periods are
available.)
Use the personal Program Schedule for
planning your program schedule of time and
temperature settings for various times of the
day.
Four time periods are available during weekdays—WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN, and SLEEP.
View these periods individually on the display
when you press the Set Schedule key.
Select WAKE if you want the house at a
comfortable temperature when you get up,
while you get ready for work or school. When
deciding what time to set for your WAKE
period, include extra lead time, depending on
the outside temperature and your furnace
response time, to give the furnace a head start
to heat the house before you get up. (This will
be a higher temperature during heating
season, or a lower temperature during cooling
season.)
Select LEAVE if you want an energy-saving
temperature while you are away at work or
school. (This will be a lower temperature during
heating season, or a higher temperature during
cooling season.)
4
69-1635-2
Select RETURN if you want the house at a
comfortable temperature for activities before
bedtime. When deciding what time to set for
your RETURN period, include extra lead time,
depending on the outside temperature and
your furnace response time, to give the furnace
a head start to heat the house before you
arrive home. (Again, higher for heating or lower
for cooling.)
Select SLEEP if you want an energy-saving
temperature while you are sleeping. (For more
comfortable sleeping, some homeowners
choose not to raise the cool temperature during
the night.)
Fill in the times and temperatures you desire
for weekdays and weekends. If you decide not
to program the thermostat, it automatically
controls heating at 68°F (20°C) and cooling at
78°F (26°C), 24 hours a day. Also, you do not
need to enter a time and temperature program
for all periods if your schedule does not require
it. For example, a house that is occupied
during weekdays would not require programs
for LEAVE and RETURN.
When pressing the keys, use the ball of your
finger or a soft pencil eraser.
NOTE: Using sharp fingernails or pencil
points can damage the keypad.
If you make an error at any time during
programming, press the Run Program key,
and continue again at the last step.

Setting Fan and System Switches
First set the fan switch.
AUTO: Normal setting for most
homes. A single-speed fan
turns on automatically with the
air conditioner or furnace. A two-speed fan
usually runs on high with the air conditioner
and runs on low with the furnace.
ON: The fan runs continuously.
Use for improved air circulation
during special occasions or for
more efficient electronic air cleaning.
Auto On

Then set the system switch.
COOL: The thermostat
controls your air
conditioning system.
OFF: Both the heating and
air conditioning systems
are off.
HEAT: The thermostat controls
your heating system.

• Use two AA alkaline batteries; nonalkaline
batteries do not last as long.
• Make sure the thermostat is set to the OFF
position.
• Use a coin to remove the battery door.
69-1635-2
To remove batteries, press down on the left
ends of the batteries. If you insert new batteries
within 20 to 30 seconds of removing the old
ones, the thermostat does not require reprogramming. However, if the display is blank, the
batteries are dead or incorrectly installed and
the thermostat requires reprogramming.
• Install the fresh batteries, as shown, making
sure positive and negative terminals are
oriented correctly.
• Replace the battery door.
