Setting Temperature

Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons on the right side of the display to adjust the desired temperature (setpoint). The display will show both the current room temperature and the setpoint.

Programming (5-2 Day)

Setting Time and Day

1. Press the PROG button once. The display will show the current time flashing.
2. Use the UP or DOWN arrows to adjust the time.
3. Press PROG again to advance to the day setting. The day will flash.
4. Use the UP or DOWN arrows to adjust the day.
5. Press PROG or wait 15 seconds to exit.

Setting Program Schedule

1. Press the PROG button until "MON-FRI" appears and the time for the first period (Morning) flashes.
2. Use the UP or DOWN arrows to set the desired time for the Morning period.
3. Press PROG. The temperature for the Morning period will flash.
4. Use the UP or DOWN arrows to set the desired temperature.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for the Day, Evening, and Night periods for "MON-FRI".

7. Press RETURN or wait 15 seconds to exit programming mode.

Temporary Program Override

To temporarily change the temperature without affecting the program, simply use the UP or DOWN arrows. The thermostat will hold this temperature until the next program period begins.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the 2 AA alkaline batteries immediately to ensure proper operation and prevent loss of settings. The thermostat has permanent memory, so settings will be retained during battery replacement.

2. Remove the old batteries.
3. Insert new AA alkaline batteries, observing polarity (+/-).
4. Snap the thermostat body back onto the wall plate.
