Battery Location
2 “AA” alkaline batteries are included
in the thermostat to keep time during a
power outage. They are also required for
armchair programming.
If “LOW BATTERY” is displayed in the
scrolling message area, the batteries are
low and should be replaced with fresh
batteries. For best results use premium
brand alkaline batteries, such as Duracell® or Energizer®.
To replace batteries, set thermostat
SYSTEM touch key to Off, remove
thermostat from wall by grasping the top
and bottom of the thermostat and pulling
straight away from the wall. The base will
remain on the wall. Install the batteries in
the rear along the top of the thermostat.
Reposition the thermostat over the base
plate and gently snap into place.
Armchair Programming
The thermostat uses 24 Volt AC power
supplied by the system for normal operation. However, with “AA” batteries
installed, the thermostat can be removed
from the wall for convenient programming. Set thermostat SYSTEM touch key
to Off before removing.
System Power Loss
When thermostat loses 24 Volt AC power
supplied by the system, the scrolling
message area will display “Power Fail”.
• Select UV lamp maintenance re-
minder. Scrolling message will show

is required.
• Select humidifier pad maintenance
reminder. Scrolling message will
show “HUMIDIFIER PAD MAINTE-
NANCE”. Default is OFF. It can be
changed to a setting from 25 to 1975
hours in increments of 25 hours to

reminder. Setting of 100 hours is typically 6 months of run time.
Based on this setting, the scrolling
message area will show “CHANGE
HUMIDIFIER PAD” to indicate main-
tenance is required.

When On Demand Dehumidification
is selected, the thermostat will indicate the current humidity on the home
screen. The display will show RH with
the humidity %. If the current humidity
is above the selected setting, the
thermostat will send an On Demand
Dehumidification request.
On Demand Dehumidification im-
proves the comfort level in your home
by reducing the humidity level. This
is accomplished by slowing down the
