Heating System
1. Move the SYSTEM switch to the HEAT position. If the auxiliary heating
system has a standing pilot, be sure to light it.
2. When the (FA)st heating cycle rate is selected in the configuration
menu, (see configuration menu item 2), the thermostat will call for heat at 0.5ºF
(0.5ºC) below set-point, and turn off at set point. When the (SL)ow heating cycle
rate is selected, the thermostat will call for heat at 1.5ºF (1.5ºC) below set-point,
and turn off at set-point. When the thermostat calls for heat, the display will show
Heat On. If the Heat On display is flashing, the compressor lockout feature is
operating in the heat pump mode. (Note: See Configuration menu item 8).
Cooling System
CAUTION!: To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the outdoor
temperature is below 50ºF (10ºC), DO NOT operate the cooling system.
1. Move the SYSTEM switch to the COOL position.
2. When the (FA)st cooling cycle rate is selected in the configuration
menu, (see configuration menu item 2), the thermostat will call for cooling at 0.5ºF
(0.5ºC) above set-point, and turn off set point. When the (SL)ow cool cycle rate is
selected, the thermostat will call for cooling at 1.5ºF (1.5ºC) above set-point, and
turn off at set-point. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the display will show
COOL On. If the COOL On display is flashing, the compressor lockout feature is
operating. mode. (Note: See Configuration menu item 8).
If all functions operate properly, the thermostat is installed correctly.
Replacing Batteries
If your thermostat was pre-installed, the batteries may be in place. If the battery
icon on the display is flashing, it indicates that the batteries need to be replaced.
When the thermostat is powered only by battery, the battery icon will flash for
approximately 2 months before the batteries are expected to expire. Then the
thermostat will cut power to the heating/cooling system.
Important: Replace the batteries when the low battery message flashes on the
display. This will keep the thermostat operating properly. With two “AAA” batteries
installed, your thermostat will maintain time and continuously display the
temperature during a loss of AC power.
1. Place the COOL/OFF/HEAT switch in the OFF position.
2. Put the FAN AUTO/ON switch in the AUTO position.
3. Gently pull the cover straight off the base.
4. Install two “AAA” alkaline batteries in the battery
compartment. Be sure to match the positive (+) ends of the
batteries with the positive terminals marked in the battery
compartment.

Troubleshooting
If a voltage spike or static discharge blanks out the display or causes erratic operation, you
can reset the thermostat by pressing the reset button (see figure 1). If the thermostat haw
power, has been reset and still does not function correctly, contact your heating/cooling
service person or place of purchase.
Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action
No Heat/No
Cool/No Fan
1. Blown fuse or tripped circuit
breaker
2. Furnace power switches to OFF.
3. Furnace blower compartment
door or panel loose or
not properly installed
Replace fuse or reset breaker.
Turn switch to ON
Replace door panel in proper positi on to engage safety
interlock or door switch.
No Heat 1. Pi lot light not lit.
2. System switch not set to Heat
3. Loose connection to thermostat
or
system
4. Furnace Lockout Condition. Heat
may also be intermittent
5. Heating System Requires service
or
thermostat requires replacement.
Relight Pilot
Set System Switch to Heat and raise set point above
room temperature
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely
attached
Many furnaces have safety devices that shut the
system down when a lockout condition occurs.
If the heat works intermittently, c ontact the furnace
manufacturer or local service person for assistance.
Diagnostic: Set System Switch to Heat and raise the
Setpoint above room temperature. Within a few
seconds the thermostat should make a soft click
sound. This sound usually indicates the ther mostat is
working properly. If the thermostat does not click, try
the reset operation listed above. If the thermostat does
not click after being reset, contact your heating and
cooling service person or place of purchase for
replacement. If the thermostat clicks, contact the
furnace manufacturer or a service person to verify the
heating system is operating correctly.
No Cool 1. System Switch not set to Cool
2. Loose Connection to thermostat
or
System
3. Compressor lock-out is activated.
Set system switch to Cool and lower set point below
room temperature.
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely
attached.
Wait five minutes until the compress or protection time
is up. There may be up to a five minute delay before
the thermostat can activate the co mpressor if the
compressor lock-out option is select ed in the
configuration menu.
