PROGRAMMED OPERATION
Introduction
The Universal Application Programmable Thermostat provides
four periods per day (MORN, DAY, EVE, NIGHT) and two
schedules per week (MoTuWeThFr and SaSu). A separate time,
heat setpoint, and cool setpoint can be set for each period and
schedule. Before starting to actually program the thermostat, fill
out Table 1 with the values you wish to program. (The factory
default time and temperature values are already programmed for
you as a starting point and are shown in Table 1.)
The first press of the SET button brings up the programming mode
and places you at morning (MORN) of the MoTuWeThFr
schedule. Successive presses move you between the four daily
periods.
While Programming:
The TEMP/TIME button moves between three selections of SET
TIME, SET TEMP & HEAT, and SET TEMP & COOL. These
three numbers are to be programmed for each of the periods
MORN, DAY, EVE, and NIGHT.
The DAY button moves between the weekdays, (MoTuWeThFr)
and the weekend (SaSu) selections. A different schedule may be set
for the weekdays and the weekend. You may exit programming at
any time by pressing the HOLD/END button.

morning period.

Overriding Your Comfort Schedule
There are two ways to override your comfort schedule.
Method 1 — Manual Operation
By pressing the HOLD/END button to turn on the HOLD icon, the
thermostat will maintain the current temperature settings and
ignore the comfort schedule for an indefinite period of time. The
word HOLD will appear in the display. Press the HOLD/END
button a second time and the thermostat will return the temperature
settings to the programmed comfort schedule. Pressing
HOLD/END will not alter your programmed comfort schedule.
Method 2 — Temporary Override
At the first press of the UP or DOWN button, the current
temperature setting will appear on the display. Pressing the UP or
DOWN button again will temporarily change the setpoint as
needed. At the next programmed time, the programmed comfort
schedule will resume.
KEY PAD LOCK OUT FEATURE
At installation and setup of your thermostat the keypad lockout
feature can be enabled. This feature when enabled, locks the
keypad. If any key is pressed and the thermostat is locked, “Loc”
will be displayed in the clock digits to indicate that manual input is
not allowed. It can be temporarily unlocked by simultaneously
pressing the UP and DOWN keys for 5 seconds. Once unlocked, it
will re--lock 3 minutes after the last keypad press.
AUXILIARY AND EMERGENCY HEAT
Auxiliary Heat
If the system has determined that it’s too cold outside for your heat
pump to heat the house without help, the AUX HEAT icon will
indicate that the system is getting help from the electric heaters.
This happens automatically.
Emergency Heat (EMHT)
If the heat pump is not working properly, you can manually turn
on the emergency heat by pressing MODE until EMHT appears.
You’ll know there’s a problem if the house can’t seem to get warm
when it’s cold outside. You want to avoid using emergency heat
continuously, though, because it’s the most expensive option. If
you suspect a problem with your heat pump, call your heating and
cooling dealer immediately.
CHANGING BATTERIES
In some situations, two AA batteries are the power source for the
thermostat. If batteries are used with your equipment, then they
should last about one year. As the batteries lose their power, a
battery icon appears on the display showing one black bar and then
none. As the icon becomes empty, you will begin to lose
thermostat functions because the batteries are losing their power.
When the batteries are completely dead, you won’t be able to use
the thermostat.
When using batteries for power, we recommend you replace them
with two AA alkaline batteries. They are in a compartment under
the removable faceplate of the thermostat. Yo u d o n ot h a ve t o
remove the thermostat from the wall to replace the batteries
Simply use your thumb and forefinger to grasp and pull the
branded faceplate away from the thermostat to expose the batteries.
Lift out the batteries, and replace them.
Be sure to orient batteries in the direction indicated by the
embossed symbols shown on the plastic.
