Selecting Heating or Cooling
Use the SYSTEM button to select your thermostat system mode. The possible system modes are:
• Heating – Displays on the thermostat as HEAT.
• Cooling – Displays on the thermostat as COOL.
• Auto-changeover (see below) – Both HEAT and COOL icons are on.
• Emergency heat – Displays EMER (flashing) and HEAT.
• Off – Displays on the thermostat as OFF.
When heating or cooling is On, STG 1 or STG 1+2 will display (depending on how many speeds your heating/cooling
system is capable of using).
Auto-Changeover Mode
When the thermostat is in auto-changeover mode, it automatically switches between your heating and cooling
programmed schedules to maintain your home temperature within your heating and cooling programs. The thermostat will
call for heating or cooling as needed, but never both at the same time. Auto-changeover is convenient during the fall and
spring when days may be cool in the early morning hours and hot in the afternoons.
Important:
• In auto-changeover mode, the programmed heat setpoint must be 2 degrees lower than the cool setpoint.
• Keep the windows in your home closed when auto-changeover mode is in effect, to avoid wasting heating or cooling
energy.

Programming Your Thermostat
This chapter explains how to program your thermostat, including programming heating and cooling, and setting and
clearing holds.
Your thermostat offers the following options for flexible programming:
• Separate programs for heating and cooling.
• Separate programs for each weekday separately or all weekdays together, Saturday, and Sunday.
• Four time periods per day – Morning, Day, Evening, and Night. You can specify start times and temperatures for each
time period.
Conserve Energy While Maximizing Comfort
The SuperStat’s programming options help you maximize comfort during the times when you are typically at home. You
can also conserve energy during the times when you are typically away from home or sleeping by allowing the
temperature in your home to increase (summer) or decrease (winter).
