Read This Before Installing Thermostat
IMPORTANT
Read the entire installation section of this Owner’s
1
Manual thoroughly before you begin to install or oper-
ate your Hunter Thermostat.
Remove the Mylar label from the LCD display window.
INSTALLATION
All installation is normally performed at your
2
thermostat.
ARMCHAIR PROGRAMMING
You can program your thermostat before installation by
3
inserting the batteries and following the instructions
starting on page 16. This can be done while you relax in
your favorite chair and is a very good way to familiarize
yourself with all the functions of your Hunter Thermostat.
SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY
Your Thermostat is designed to operate with most
4
gas, oil, electric, or 2-wire hot water heating and air
conditioning systems. It will also operate single-stage heat
pumps that do not have auxiliary or emergency heat. These
have 24 volt or millivolt control systems and represent
most central heating, air conditioning, or space heating
units in the United States.
This thermostat will not control 120/240 Volt systems or
millivolt systems.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION
The thermostat provides a 3.5 minute delay after shut-
5
ting o the heating or cooling system before it can be
restarted. This feature will prevent damage to your compressor caused by rapid cycling.
5
TEMPERATURE RANGE
Your thermostat can be programmed between 45°F
6
and 95°F (7°C and 35°C). However, it will display room
temperatures from 15°F to 99°F (-9°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
15°F (-9°C).
AUTO RECOVERY
Your thermostat is set from the factory to gradually
7
recover the room temperature from an energy saving
program to your comfort program. Therefore, the thermostat may turn your system on several minutes prior to
your programmed time. This operation is normal, but can
be turned o. Refer to the Options Menu information on
pages 16.
OPERATION
NOTE: The INDIGLO® Night-Light will not function when
8
the battery power is low.
BATTERY WARNING
Two fresh AA alkaline batteries should provide well

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.
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 o the power to the furnace at the
main power panel or at the furnace.
■
Remove existing thermostat cover. See Figure 1. Some ther-
mostats will have screws or other locking devices that must
rst be removed. Once 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).

Wire Labeling
■
Each wire coming from the wall to the existing thermo-
stat is connected to a terminal point on that thermostat.
Each of these terminal points is usually marked with a
code letter as shown in Table A on the next page.
■
IMPORTANT! BEFORE DISCONNECTING ANY WIRES, AP-
PLY THE SELF-ADHESIVE LABELS PROVIDED TO THE WIRE
AS SHOWN IN TABLE A and B ON PAGES 12-13. (For example, attach the label marked W to the wire that goes
to the W or H terminal on your existing thermostat.)
IGNORE THE COLOR OF THE WIRES since these do not
always comply with the standard.
■
After labeling wires, disconnect them from the existing
thermostat terminals.
■
Remove existing wallplate. To make sure wires do not
fall back into wall opening, you may want to tape them
to the wall.
■
If hole in wall is larger than necessary for wires, seal this
hole so that no hot or cold air can enter the back of the
thermostat from the wall. This air could cause a false
thermostat reading.

PROGRAMMING
Programming Introduction
Studies conducted by the Department of Energy estimate
that setting your thermostat back 10°F (6°C) for two 8-hour
periods during winter can reduce your fuel bill by as much
as 33%. By setting your thermostat up 5°F (3°C) for two 8hour periods during summer you can reduce your fuel bill
up to 25%.
Your thermostat is capable of holding up to 4 separate programs for each day of the week.
■ At power-up or after a reset, all 7 days of the week have these default programs:
Temperature in F° (C°)
Program Number Time Heat Cool
1 6:00am 68°F (20°C) 78°F (26°C)
2 8:00am 60°F (16°C) 85°F (29°C)
3 4:00pm 68°F (20°C) 78°F (26°C)
4 10:00pm 60°F (16°C) 82°F (28°C)
■ The following sections describe how to change these programs.
18
You can program weekdays as a group, weekends as a
group, all 7 days individually or everyday as a group.
The system fan may also be set to run continuously during a
program time period.
Your Hunter thermostat is pre-programmed to meet the
ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy eciency.

Auto Season Changeover
When the System Selection is in AUTO position, the thermostat will automatically change between Heating and
Cooling systems, depending on your program. We recommend keeping your programmed heating and cooling
temperatures at least 5°F (3°C) apart to allow the Auto
Season Changeover to occur when the appropriate temperature span has been reached. However, if your heating
and cooling programs set temperatures are close, there is a
built-in program to prevent the thermostat from changing
unnecessarily.
Auto Season Changeover is disabled when the thermostat
is in Temporary or Permanent Override, or Vacation Hold,
as these overrides are energy saving settings. While in
any of these modes, “AUTO” will be temporarily removed
form the LCD display. “AUTO” will return when these holds
are cleared. Auto Season Changeover will still function in
Home Today mode, as this is a comfort setting.
For example, you may have the following temperatures
programmed at a given time:
Heat Set Temp = 68°F
Cool Set Temp = 78°F
If the room temperature rises above 78°F, then the thermo-
36
stat will automatically change to cool mode and turn on
the air conditioner.
Likewise, the thermostat will automatically change to heat
mode and turn on heat when the room temperature falls
below 68°F.
Even when in the “Auto” position, Cool Mode and Heat
Mode still have to be programmed separately to allow for
the “Set Back” periods.

OPERATION
SPAN Settings
STAGE 1
Your thermostat is set at the factory to cycle at 1°F (0.5°C)
above and below the set temperature in Stage 1. (Span =
2.) This setting has been designed to provide a comfortable
room temperature under most all conditions. However, if
you nd your system cycling too fast or too slow, then the
Span can be adjusted to modify the cycle time. Refer to the
Option Menu Stage 1 Span selection on page 17.
Span = 1. This decreases the cycle time by causing
your system to run shorter.
Span = 3. This increases the cycle time by causing
your system to run longer.
41
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 the thermostat is powered on or the Reset key is
pressed, the Span is reset back to setting 2.
Auto Recovery
Hunter’s Auto Recovery feature meets the ENERGY STAR®
guidelines for energy eciency by allowing the heating or
cooling system to recover gradually from an energy-saving
setpoint temperature to a comfort setpoint temperature.
Auto Recovery calculates how early to turn your system
back On, so that the room temperature is already comfortable by the start of the comfort temperature program period. Auto Recovery works in both Heat and Cool modes.
For example, in Heat mode, you could have the following
programs:
Program #4 (Overnight) Program #1 (Morning)
Set Temp = 60°F Set Temp = 68°F
Time = 10PM Time = 6AM
The room temperature fell to 60°F overnight. Rather than
having the thermostat turning on at 6AM, Auto Recovery
would note the temperature dierence between 60°F and
68°F and turn the Heat on approximately 30 minutes early.
Therefore, the room temperature at 6AM would be about
68°F instead of 60°F.
■ When the thermostat is in Auto Recovery mode, the
display will alternate “RECOVERY” with the day, and the
program indicator will ash.

Details of Auto Recovery Operation:
■ Auto Recovery can be disabled by selecting “NO” in the Option Menu. Refer to page 17.
■ Auto Recovery will not operate if Permanent hold, Vacation hold Temporary hold or Home Today is in operation.
■ Auto Recovery can be canceled manually if RET CLEAR
is pressed during the recovery process. If a recovery
process is canceled manually then the recovery process
will not start again until the next program period starts
(an exception is that if time or program is changed then
the thermostat will check Auto Recovery conditions immediately).
■ Auto Recovery will be canceled if HOME TODAY or HOLD
is pressed during the recovery process. The thermostat
will enter Home Today, Permanent Hold, or Vacation
Hold.

■ All keys are locked, but any time a key is pressed, KEY LOCK will appear
on the display for 1 second and the backlight will operate.
Backlighting (INDIGLO® Night-Light)
Your thermostat has an electroluminescent lamp that backlights the display for easy viewing in the dark.
When any key is pressed the display is illuminated.
The display will remain illuminated for 15 seconds after
the last key is pressed. This allows the light to stay on if you
need to operate several keys. The backlight will decrease in
brightness before shutting o.

NOTE: The backlight is powered by the 24V AC supply. It
will not operate when there is an AC power interruption or
if the thermostat is removed from the wallplate.
SAFETY FEATURES
Low Battery Warning
Your thermostat has a low battery warning system. When the batteries are detected to be weak, the low battery warning is
indicated by “Low Batt” alternating on the LCD display with the day. You then need to replace the batteries with 2 new AA
alkaline batteries. You have 30 seconds to change the batteries before the settings are lost.
Error Mode
If the thermostat is unable to control your system due to an
unexpected problem, the thermostat will enter Error Mode.
In this condition, the thermostat ashes “Error” and a code
number on the LCD display, and shuts o 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 conrm normal operation.
If Error Mode returns, please call 1-800-676-7861 for
Technical Assistance from 7 AM to 7 PM Central Time
Monday thru Friday and 8 AM to 5 PM Central Time on
Saturday.
