At this point, the thermostat will be fully functional; its default temperature setpoint (not shown) is 70°F. At this
point, if the equipment has been fully powered and if a heat
demand were present, the system would begin operating.
NOTE − Temperature scale default is Fahrenheit units but
may be reset to show Celsius, if desired. See page 7.
