Setting the clock

 Press the Set button. The message Set Time will 

appear on the screen and the time display will flash.

 Press the  or  button to set the time.
 Press the Run button to save the changes & exit. 

(The changes are also saved if you do not press any 
button for 60 seconds.)

NOTE: The clock has lost its settings when the time display flashes. If
the thermostat is following the programmed schedule, it will use the
temperature settings programmed for the Wake period until you re-
adjust the clock.

1.4

System switch

Use the System switch to place the system in one of the following
modes.
• Cool: System is in Cooling mode.
• Off: System is off.
• Heat: System is in Heating mode.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Do not use Cooling mode when the outdoor temperature
is below 50 °F (10 °C).

1.5

Fan switch

Use the Fan switch to select the fan operation.

• Auto: The fan runs only when heating or cooling is actually taking

place (commonly used setting).

• On: The fan runs continuously.

1.6

Temperature setting

Press the  or  button once to display the setpoint temperature. 
Press either button more than once to change the setpoint.
The ambient (measured) temperature is normally displayed. To view
the setpoint temperature, press either of the temperature adjustment
buttons once. The setpoint temperature will appear for five seconds.

1.7

Built-in compressor protection

Your thermostat has a feature that helps prevent damage to the
compressor of your air conditioning system. Because damage can
occur if the compressor is restarted too soon after shutdown, this
feature forces the compressor to wait five minutes before restarting.
During the wait time, the message Cool On flashes on the screen.
When the safe wait time has elapsed, the message stops flashing
and the compressor turns on.

2.1

Using the schedule

Press the Run button to follow the programmed schedule. You can
have up to four periods in one day. Each period can be programmed
with a different temperature setting.

To program a period, you need to set its start time and its two
temperature settings (one when the thermostat is in cooling mode
and another one when it is in heating mode). The same period and
settings are repeated every day.
For maximum energy savings without sacrificing comfort, you can
program the schedule such that the temperature is at an economical
level when you sleep or are away during the day and at a comfortable
level when you are awake and at home.
