LCD

The low battery indicator is displayed when the
AA battery power is low. If the user fails to
replace the battery within 21 days, the screen
will only show the low battery indicator but
maintain all functionality. If the user fails to
replace the batteries after an additional 21 days
(days 22-42 since rst “low battery” display) the
setpoints will change to 55˚F (Heating) and 85˚F
(Cooling). If the user adjusts the setpoint away
from either of these, it will hold for 4 hours
then return to either 55˚F or 85˚F. After day 63
the batteries must be replaced immediately to
avoid freezing or overheating because the
thermostat will shut the unit o until the
batteries are changed.

Important

Removing The Private
Label Badge

Gently slide a screwdriver into the
bottom edge of the badge. Gently turn
the screwdriver counter clockwise. The
badge is held on by a magnet in the well
of the battery door. The badge should pry
o easily. DO NOT USE FORCE.

About The Badge

All of our thermostats use the same universal magnetic badge. Visit the
company website to learn more about our free private label program.

Subbase Installation

The thermostat should be installed approximately 4 to 5 feet above the
oor. Select an area with average temperature and good air circulation.

• Close to hot or cold air ducts

• That are in direct sunlight

• With an outside wall behind
the thermostat

• In areas that do not require
conditioning

• Where there are dead spots
or drafts
(in corners or behind doors)

• Where there might be
concealed chimneys or
pipes

Base Module Tips

Range between the thermostat and the base module is up to 100 feet
with no obstructions and up to 50 feet through standard building
materials. To optimize the range try placing the base module with no
metal between it and the thermostat.

The base module is designed to be mounted behind the front grille
of a packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC). Refer to the PTAC
manufacturer’s manual for instruction to remove the front grille.
Check clearance to ensure the t of front grille after base module
installation. See below for a few location recommendations.

When Working With A Vertical Unit

1. Do not mount Module inside the cabinet of the unit, or in a
metal enclosure.

2. Mount on the outside of the unit to maximize wireless
communication.

When Working With A Metal Sleeve Cabinet, Room Cabinet,
or PTAC Cover

1. If cabinet has open bottom, mount the module just inside the
cabinet as close to the open bottom as possible without placing it in
danger of being bumped or touched by furnishings, vaccum, etc.

2. Another good module location would be on the underside of the
top of the cabinet or cover. Directly behind the open Louver/Grill.

Caution:
Electrical Hazard

All components of the control
system and the thermostat
installation must conform to
Class II circuits per the NEC Code.
