OWNER'S MANUAL
Congratulations on your purchase of a Honeywell energy saving thermostat. The Honeywell
name is your assurance of accurate control and reliable operation for years to come.
During heating and cooling, this thermostat will automatically lower and raise the temperature
in your home one or more times every 24 hours. This allows you to significantly lower your fuel
costs, while awakening (or returning home) to a comfortable temperature.
Read this manual to learn how to use your new thermostat.

Setting The Temperature
For Heating
Set the left lever (blue mark) to the energy
savings temperature you want when you are
sleeping or your home is unoccupied.
Set the right lever(red mark)to the temperature you want for comfort periods.
NOTE: You may bypass the time program by
setting both the red and blue levers to the
same temperature set point.
For Cooling
Set the left lever (blue mark) to the temperature you want for comfort periods.
Set the right lever (red mark) to the energy
savings temperature you want when you are
sleeping or your home is unoccupied.

Inserting Timer Batteries
Power is supplied to the timer by two AAA
alkaline batteries (not included). Install the
batteries in the thermostat as shown in Fig. 2.
Once a year or when batteries are dead,
replace with two new AAA alkaline batteries.
We recommend Energizer® batteries.

Setting The Timer
Lift thermostat flip-up cover, and you’ll find
the 24-hour program dial, slotted in ten-minute
increments. Adjust the timer to the current time
by carefully turning the knob clockwise .
DO NOT reverse the knob.
When time is correctly set, the Time Indicator Arrow (See Fig. 3) will point to the correct
time and corresponding daytime (light) or nighttime (dark) band of the program dial.
EXAMPLE: For 11 PM, the time indicator arrow
will point directly to dark band on dial. For
11 AM, the arrow will point to light band
on dial.

Programming
You can program your thermostat to
automatically lower and raise the temperature
one or more times every 24 hours.
Before Setting Your Program
Lift thermostat flip-up cover and you’ll find
the 24-hour program dial. The slots on the
program dial (Fig. 4) are for the program pins
which can be inserted at ten-minute intervals.
Three red and three blue program pins are
included with your thermostat. The red pins
start the high-temperature period; the blue pins
start the low-temperature period. A heating
program was preprogrammed. A red pin is
inserted at 6:00 AM for high temperature
(comfort period); a blue pin is inserted at
10:00 PM for low temperature (energy saving
period). Two additional sets of pins are located
in the program pin storage area.

You can set up to six temperature changes
with the pins supplied. We recommend at least
five hours for each energy savings period.
To change the pins or add a new energy
savings period—
• To insert a pin, push it straight into the
selected notch on the program dial until it is
completely seated.
• To remove a pin, press against program
dial and pull the pin straight out. DO NOT
attempt to change a pin if it is engaged with
the program index wheel.
• On heating-cooling systems, you must
remove the program pins from the heating
program to set new times for your cooling
program. Write down your colors and time
for reprogramming at the next heating
season. Also, you may want to change the
temperature setting lever positions.
Setting the Heating Program
Decide when you want the temperature to
reach the comfort level. Find the notch on the
program dial that is one-half hour before this
time and insert a red pin. The half-hour head
start gives the furnace time to heat the house
before you wake up or arrive home.

Servicing The Thermostat
Cycle Rate Adjustment
The equipment should cycle on and off just
enough to keep the room temperature close to
the temperature lever settings.
If the thermostat seems to cycle the heating
system too fast or too slow, adjust the cycle
rate by moving the anticipator setting lever one
indicator mark at a time (Fig. 6). Observe the
heating system operation after each adjustment.
NOTE: Most hot water systems require a
setting of 1.2A.
If the set point lever and the thermometer
reading do not agree, follow the procedure on
the next page.

Allow at least five minutes for cover
thermometer to sense area temperature, then
compare the readings. Be careful not to touch
thermometer or breathe on it.
If the readings are the same, replace cover
and put the system into operation.
If the readings are different, insert a small
