Congratulations! You made a smart choice when you purchased your new programmable thermostat.
It’s the smart thermostat that:
■
Keeps you comfortable
by automatically calculating exactly when the furnace or air conditioning
should go on to have the house at the desired comfort temperature at the time you want.
■
Saves the maximum amount of energy and money
by remembering to automatically set back the
heat or air conditioning when you leave home or sleep.
■
Provides the ultimate in comfort and convenience
. It comes already programmed, so it’s your
choice—use the pre-programmed schedule or set your own.

PROGRAMMED RECOVERY—
BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY
SENSES TEMPERATURE

Your new thermostat is so smart,
it’s almost human.
■
Your body perceives temperature
from a variety of sources, not only
from the air in the room, but also from your surroundings—walls,
windows and furnishings.
■
Human beings feel differences
in temperature as slight as one
degree Celsius.
■
Common household thermometers and standard thermostats
sense
only air temperature, which may or may not reflect how hot or cold
the room actually
■
Your new thermostat
feels
to a human being.
reads the temperature of the wall as well as the
air—and responds to temperature changes as little as one-half
degree Celsius—so room temperature is more likely to “feel right” to
you and your family.

■
During Programmed Recovery the thermostat increases the control
temperature gradually and turns the equipment on and off
several
times to save energy by avoiding “overshooting” the comfort
temperature. You can see the current control temperature anytime
during recovery by pressing the PRESENT SETTING key. On some
models, both the SYSTEM and ENRG SAV lights may be lit at the
same time during recovery.
■
This “smart” control learns from experience
. Each day it checks how
closely it “hit the target” and adjusts the recovery start time accordingly.
It typically takes four to eight days after installation for this
thermostat to adjust to the weather, your life style, home
construction and heating/cooling system. The thermostat calculates
the LEAVE/RETURN recovery separately from the SLEEP/WAKE
recovery.
■
With this thermostat you can choose
whether you want to use
Programmed Recovery or conventional recovery. Use Programmed
Recovery if you want to choose the exact time that the room
reaches your
comfort
temperature. Use conventional recovery if you
prefer to choose the exact time your furnace or air conditioner
comes on
to start recovery.

Your thermostat includes a screw on the back marked “3A”, allowing
for the Programmed Recovery/conventional recovery choice.
Your thermostat was shipped from the factory with the screw positioned for Programmed Recovery. Your installer may have left the
screw in this position, or may have changed it to conventional
recovery. Before programming, you must know for which recovery
method your thermostat has been set.
• With Programmed Recovery, the dwelling will reach the comfort
temperature at the exact time you have programmed into the
thermostat. See pages 1-4 for detailed explanation of Programmed
Recovery.
• With conventional recovery, the programmed time will mark the start
of recovery; therefore, you should program the start time to be
earlier than the desired comfort time. It may require some trial and
error to arrive at the best starting time, and the best starting time will
vary as the seasons change.

To determine which type of recovery is set into your thermostat, make
sure thermostat is powered with fresh batteries, or is mounted and
powered on the wall (see page 32).
Press key. Check thermostat display.

• If the ■ shows in the lower right-hand corner (see illustration), the
thermostat is set for conventional recovery. If you would rather have
Programmed Recovery, remove thermostat from wallplate, turn
screw 3A (on back of thermostat) clockwise until it bottoms. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
• If the ■ does not show, the thermostat is set for Programmed

IMPORTANT
Before you begin STEP 2, determine if your thermostat is set for Programmed Recovery or conventional recovery. See pages 5-6.
If set for Programmed Recovery, program the times for when you want your home comfortable. The thermostat
will decide how early to begin the temperature changes.
If set for conventional recovery, program the times earlier, allowing your home to reach the comfort temperature
by the time you get home or wake up. Some trial and error may be required to arrive at the best starting times.
The schedule form on page 39 provides an opportunity to plan your schedule.
