2. Temperature Range
This thermostat can be programmed between 45°F and 95°F (7°C and 35°C).
However, it will display room temperatures from 30°F to 99°F (0°C and 37°C). “HI”
will be displayed if the temperature is higher than 99°F (37°C), and “LO” will be
displayed if the temperature is lower than 30°F (0°C).
This thermostat will automatically cut-off in Heat mode if the temperature rises above
95°F (35°C), and automatically cut-off in Cool mode if the temperature drops below
45°F (7°C).
3. Compressor Protection
This thermostat provides a 3.5 minute delay after shutting off the cooling system
before it can be restarted. This feature will prevent damage to your compressor
caused by rapid cycling. It does not prevent a rapid compressor restart due to short
power outages.
4. Battery Warning
Two fresh AA alkaline batteries should provide well over one year of service.
However, when the batteries become drained, the Low Battery Indicator will flash on
the display. When this message occurs, install new alkaline batteries. You have
approximately 1 minute to change the batteries and keep thermostat’s clock and
program settings. Once the batteries have become too low to ensure proper
operation, your system will be turned Off, and the display will be cleared except for
flashing Low Battery Indicator on the LCD display.
CAUTION: When ONLY the battery icon flashes on the display, the
thermostat is shut down, and your system will no longer operate. In

INSTALLATION
What You Need
This thermostat includes two #8 slotted screws and two wall anchors for mounting.
To install your thermostat, you should have the following tools and materials.
■ Slotted Screwdriver(s)
■ Small Philips screwdriver
■ Hammer
■ Electric drill and 3/16” bit
■ Two 1.5 V (AA) size alkaline batteries
Remove Old Thermostat
CAUTION: Do not remove any wiring from existing thermostat before reading
the instructions carefully. Wires must be labeled prior to removal.
■ IMPORTANT! Turn off the power to the furnace at the main power panel or at the
■ Remove existing thermostat cover and thermostat. See Figure 1. Some
thermostats will have screws or other locking devices that must first be removed.
Once the wall mounting plate is exposed, look for wires.
If wires are not visible, they may be connected to the back of the wallplate. Again,
look for screws, tabs, etc. Some models have doors that open to expose wires and
mounting screws. See Figure 1.
furnace.
■ Position wallplate on wall and pull existing wires through large opening. Then level
for appearance. Mark holes for plastic anchors provided, if your existing holes do
not line up with those on the Hunter wallplate.
■ Drill holes with 3/16” bit and gently tap anchors into the holes until flush with wall.
■ Reposition wallplate to wall, pulling wires through large opening. Insert mounting
screws provided into wall anchor and tighten. See Figure 3.
NOTE: 5-wire Systems
If your thermostat has one wire marked R or RH (2, 3, or 4-wire system), then leave
the jumper wire between the RH and RC terminals on the wallplate. Otherwise, if you
have separate RH and RC wires (5-wire system), then remove the jumper wire
between the RH and RC terminals.
Selector Switches
In order for this thermostat to control your system, the system type must be specified
by the selector switches on the printed circuit board inside the thermostat. There is
also a selector switch for your choice of Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature display.
■ Heating System Selector (HG - HE switch)
The factory position for this switch is in the “HG” position. Leave it in this position if
you have a gas furnace or an oil burner. If you have an electric furnace, test to see
whether the Heat and Fan come on as expected after installation. If the Fan
operation is normal, leave it in the “HG” position. If the Fan does not come on
within a minute of the thermostat calling for heat, change the switch position to
“HE”. The system selector has no effect in the cooling mode.
NOTE: “HG” position is for gas and most other systems. “HE” position is for
certain electric systems having a fan relay.
■ F° / C° selector (Fahrenheit / Celsius)
Your thermostat is set for F° mode from the factory. In order to change to C° mode, slide
the switch to C° and press the reset button on front of the thermostat with a paper clip.
NOTE: Unless the reset button is pressed, the thermostat will not change
temperature mode.

The display will flash, and SPAN will be
displayed on the LCD.
■ Press to raise the Span to 3. This setting
INCREASES the cycle time by allowing
your system to run LONGER.
■ Press to lower the Span to 1. This setting
DECREASES the cycle time by causing
your system to run SHORTER.
The Span settings remain the same for both HEAT and COOL.
The Span can be changed at any time, and is independent of program times or
temperatures.
When batteries are installed in the thermostat, or the Reset key is pressed, the Span
is reset back to setting 2.
Backlighting (INDIGLO®Night-Light)
Your thermostat has an electroluminescent lamp that backlights the display for easy
viewing in the dark.

Low Battery Warning
Your thermostat has a two-stage low battery warning
system. When the batteries are first detected to be weak,
the first stage low battery warning is indicated by battery
symbol flashing on the LCD display. At your earliest
convenience, you need to replace the batteries with 2 new
AA alkaline batteries.
When the batteries become too weak for normal
operation, the thermostat enters the second stage low
battery warning which shuts down the thermostat. In this
condition, “BATT” flashes alone on the display, and the
thermostat will turn your system Off. Your system will
remain shut-off until the batteries are replaced.
Note: The thermostat will still keep the current time and your programs in
memory until new batteries are installed. After confirming that new batteries have
been inserted, the thermostat will return to normal operation.
Error Mode
If the thermostat is unable to control your system due to
an unexpected battery problem, the thermostat will enter
Error Mode. In this condition, the thermostat flashes
“Err” on the LCD display, and shuts off your system.
To correct this problem, replace the batteries with 2 new
AA alkaline batteries, even if you have recently replaced
them. Next, use a paper clip to press the RESET button next to the keypad. You will
need to reprogram your thermostat and confirm normal operation.
If Error Mode returns, please call CTC Technical support at 1-800-676-7861 for
further information.
Auto Cut Off
Your thermostat will automatically cut-off in Heat mode if the room temperature rises above
95°F (35°C). It will cut-off in Cool mode if the room temperature drops below 45°F (7°C).
Note that if your system has malfunctioned and no longer responds to thermostat
controls, the Auto Cut-Off will have no effect.
Mechanical Heat Back-up
This thermostat includes a bi-metal switch that will automatically turn on the Heat
when the temperature reaches about 41° F (5° C).
WARNING: This switch only activates the Heating terminal (W). The system
itself must be capable of automatically turning the Fan On. Without normal
Fan operation, severe damage to the heating system could result.
