Replacing the Batteries
When the Low Bat symbol appears on a Smart Controller display, replace the
batteries as follows:
1. Lift the Smart Controller off its mounting bracket to remove the Smart
Controller from the wall. If using the kickstand rather than mounting bracket,
slide the kickstand down and out of its latching mechanism to remove it.
2. Slide off the battery cover and remove the old batteries. Discard the batteries
properly. Never discard batteries into a fire.
3. Install two new AAA alkaline batteries as
shown at right. For efficiency, avoid mixing
battery types or using batteries from
different manufacturers.

Positioning Your Smart Controller
Note: For the Smart Controller to function properly, your system should be installed and set up by a professional Home
Comfort Zones dealer. The installer should have shown you how to set your ideal temperature limits.
The key to your comfort is the proper placement of your Smart Controllers. Smart Controllers are not thermostats; they
are the local interface to your MyTemp climate control system and contain temperature sensors. In order for these sensors
to function properly, you must consider placement carefully and never remove Smart Controllers from their assigned
rooms.
Your HCZ installer helps you determine the proper location for each Smart Controller so that they are in a convenient location away from sources that could artificially influence room temperature. Do not place Smart Controllers:
• Behind doors, in corners, or in other dead-air spaces.
• In direct sunlight or near lamps, appliances, or other sources of radiant heat.
• On outside walls or walls exposed to unconditioned spaces such as garages.
• In the flow path of a supply register, in stairways, or near outside doors.
• On walls where concealed pipes or ductwork can affect the sensor.
• Near sources of electrical interference such as arcing relay contacts or dimmer switches.
As shown on page five, Smart Controllers come with an integrated kickstand that allows you to position them on flat
surfaces. To use, press up on the thumb release and pull the kickstand arm away from the Smart Controller body.

Toggling Between On And Saver Modes
Most thermostats have a setting that allows you to save energy while you
are away for an extended period of time. With the MyTemp climate
control system, you can now do this for individual rooms with the Saver
mode.
The On/Saver/Off button is a toggle button, which means that you press
it to enter Saver mode and press it again to return to your normal
temperature limits. (Off mode is discussed on page nine.)
Any room that goes unused for long periods of time is a candidate for
Saver mode. You can maintain a room in Saver mode until you need it, at
which time simply press on the On/Saver/Off button to return to the
room’s normal temperature limits.
In Saver mode, the system switches to relaxed temperature limits that
allow you to save money. Define these relaxed temperatures using the
Smart Controller Properties screen on the main display. Refer to the
MyTemp System User Manual for details about how to set your Saver mode
temperature limits.
The system default for Saver mode is 60°F for heating and 85°F for air
conditioning.
On/Saver/Off Button

Adjust room temperatures by pressing the up and down buttons on the
Smart Controller. This causes the Smart Controller to enter Set mode,
which means that it is in the process of changing the temperature in the
room. The Smart Controller alternately displays the Set temperature that
you use the up and down arrows to adjust and the current room
temperature.
Cancel Set mode by pressing the On/Saver/Off button.
Set mode completes when the current temperature equals the Set
temperature. By default, this temporary temperature setting lasts for two
hours. If you are constantly adjusting a room’s temperature, you might
consider permanently changing its programmed temperature limits. You
can also adjust the duration of temporary settings. Refer to the MyTemp
System User Manual for details.

Turning Off Your Smart Controller
You can turn off any Smart Controller at any time by holding down the On/Saver/Off button until the display screen
goes blank. Turning off a Smart Controller means that the room will not receive conditioning until you turn the Smart
Controller on again.
Turn on the Smart Controller by pressing any button on the Smart Controller.
As an example, you might want to turn off conditioning in a given room during a remodel. Off mode conserves battery
power while you are not using the Smart Controller.
10
Potential for Interference
Your Smart Controller has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. The Smart Controller generates and radiates radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance
with instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the Smart Controller does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by pressing any button on the Smart Controller, you are encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiver antenna for the radio or television.
• Increase the separation between the Smart Controller and the receiver.
• Consult your HCZ dealer.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, you must not modify any Smart Controller in any way and use only
approved batteries. You are cautioned that changes and modifications made to your Smart Controllers could void your authority to operate this equipment.
