Operating your Y87RF2024 thermostat is straightforward:

• Adjusting Temperature: To change the desired room temperature, simply rotate the outer ring of the thermostat. Rotate clockwise to increase the temperature and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The new set temperature will be displayed on the screen.
• Display Backlight: The digital display features a backlight that activates when you press the front of the thermostat or when you adjust the temperature, improving visibility in low light conditions.
• Remote Control (with RFG100): Once your thermostat is successfully connected to the RFG100 Internet Gateway and configured with the Total Connect Comfort app, you can adjust temperature settings, create heating schedules, and monitor your system from anywhere using your smartphone or tablet.
