2.1 Display Overview
The large, high-contrast display shows the current room temperature and the set target temperature. Indicators for ECO mode and battery status may also be present.

Figure 4: Key features and benefits of the DT2R Thermostat, including ECO Mode and Installer Mode.
2.2 Setting the Temperature
Use the Up (▲) and Down (▼) arrow buttons located on the right side of the thermostat to adjust your desired target temperature. The display will show the new setpoint briefly before returning to the current room temperature.
2.3 ECO Button Functionality
The ECO button (green leaf icon) allows you to temporarily switch to an energy-saving target temperature. This is useful when the house is empty or during periods when a lower temperature is acceptable.
- Press the ECO button once. The display will show the ECO temperature.
- You can adjust the duration of the ECO mode from 1 hour to 24 hours in 1-hour increments using the Up/Down buttons.
- The thermostat will revert to the normal set temperature after the set ECO duration expires.
2.4 Heating or Cooling Control
The thermostat provides control for both heating and cooling systems. The intelligent self-learning function (TPI) helps maintain precise temperature control within the target range of 5°C to 35°C.
2.5 Installer Mode
An Installer Mode is available for advanced configuration and adaptation of the thermostat to specific system requirements. Accessing and adjusting settings in Installer Mode should only be done by qualified personnel.
3. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your thermostat.
3.1 Battery Replacement
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries promptly to avoid interruption of service. Follow the steps outlined in Section 1.4 for battery installation.
3.2 Cleaning
To clean the thermostat, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the unit.
4. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your thermostat, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
- No Display / Unit Not Responding:
Check the batteries. Replace them if they are low or depleted. Ensure they are inserted with correct polarity. - Incorrect Temperature Reading:
Ensure the thermostat is not exposed to direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources (e.g., lamps, appliances) that could interfere with its temperature sensor. - Heating/Cooling System Not Activating:
Verify that the target temperature is set correctly (above current for heating, below for cooling). Check the wiring connections (refer to Section 1.3). If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician or HVAC technician. - ECO Mode Not Functioning:
Ensure the ECO mode duration is set correctly. If the issue persists, try resetting the thermostat (refer to the quick start guide for reset procedures).
For persistent problems or issues not covered here, it is recommended to contact a qualified technician or Honeywell Home customer support.
