13

Auto Changeover (heat/cool)

Press until screen

Note: The Auto system setting
may not appear, depending
on how your Comfort Control
was installed.

Auto Changeover is a feature used in
climates where both air conditioning and
heating are used on the same day.When the
system is set to Auto, the Comfort Control
automatically selects heating or cooling
depending on the indoor temperature.

Heat and cool settings must be at least
3 degrees apart.The Comfort Control will
automatically adjust settings to maintain this
3-degree separation (called “deadband”).

The 3-degree separation between heating
and cooling set temperatures is fixed, and
cannot be changed.

14

Set Clock/Day/

Schedule

Built-in compressor protection

This feature helps prevent damage to the
compressor in your air conditioning or
heat pump system.

Damage can occur if the compressor is
re-started too soon after shutdown.This
feature forces the compressor to wait for
a few minutes before restarting.

Message flashes until safe
restart time has elapsed

During the wait time, the display will flash
the message Cool On (or Heat On if you
have a heat pump).When the safe wait time
has elapsed, the message stops flashing and
the compressor turns on.

15

Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™(AIR)

Adaptive Intelligent Recovery eliminates guesswork when setting your schedule. It
allows the Comfort Control to “learn” how long your furnace and air conditioner
take to reach the temperature you want.

Just set your program schedule to the time you want the house to reach your
desired temperature.The Comfort Control then turns on the heating or cooling at
just the right time to reach your scheduled temperature at your scheduled time.

For example:Set the Wake time to 6 am,and the temperature to 70°.The heat will
come on before 6 am,so the temperature is 70° by the time you wake at 6.

Note: When Adaptive Intelligent Recovery is in effect, the Comfort Control
will display “In Recovery.”

16

Battery replacement

Press and pull to remove

Replace Battery

Insert fresh AA alkaline
batteries, then reinstall
