Setup and Installation
The Emerson 70 Series thermostat is designed for easy installation, utilizing a standard footprint and being battery-powered. Mounting hardware is included for convenience.
Installation Steps:
- Power Off: Before beginning installation, ensure the power to your heating and cooling system is turned off at the main breaker.
- Remove Old Thermostat: Carefully remove your old thermostat from the wall. Take a picture of the existing wiring connections for reference.
- Mounting: Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the new thermostat's backplate to the wall. Ensure it is level using the integrated bubble level.
- Wiring: Connect the system wires to the appropriate terminals on the new thermostat's backplate. Refer to the wiring diagram in the full instruction manual for specific connections. The thermostat supports single-stage heating, cooling, and heat pump systems (without auxiliary heat).

Operating Instructions
This non-programmable thermostat is designed for straightforward manual control of your home's temperature.
Temperature Adjustment:
Use the Up and Down arrow buttons on the right side of the thermostat to set your desired temperature. The display will show both the current room temperature and your set temperature.
Fan Operation:
A switch on the left side of the thermostat controls the fan:
- ON: The fan runs continuously, regardless of whether the heating or cooling system is active.
- AUTO: The fan runs only when the heating or cooling system is actively operating.
System Mode Selection:
Another switch on the left side allows you to select the system mode:
- COOL: Activates the air conditioning system to cool your home to the set temperature.
- OFF: Turns off both heating and cooling systems.
- HEAT: Activates the heating system to warm your home to the set temperature.
Cycle Rate Adjustment (Advanced Setting):
The thermostat's cycle rate determines how frequently the heating or cooling system turns on and off to maintain the set temperature. This setting can typically be adjusted in the installer's menu to 'Slow', 'Fast', or 'Medium'. The default setting for both heating and cooling cycle rates is usually 'Medium'. Adjusting this can affect temperature consistency and system run times. Consult the full manual or a qualified technician for advanced adjustments.
Maintenance
The Emerson 70 Series thermostat requires minimal maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
Battery Replacement:
This thermostat is battery-powered and includes a low battery indicator feature. When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the two AA alkaline batteries promptly to avoid interruption of service. To replace batteries, gently pull the thermostat faceplate off the wall-mounted backplate, remove the old batteries, insert new ones, and reattach the faceplate.
Cleaning:
Clean the thermostat's exterior periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the unit.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Emerson 70 Series thermostat, consider the following common solutions:
- No Display/Blank Screen: Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary. Ensure power to the HVAC system is on.
- System Not Responding (No Heating/Cooling): Verify that the system mode switch (Cool/Off/Heat) is set to the desired mode. Confirm that the set temperature is appropriately above (for heat) or below (for cool) the current room temperature. Check the circuit breaker for your HVAC system.
- Fan Not Running: Ensure the fan switch is set to 'ON' for continuous operation or 'AUTO' if you expect it to run with the system.
- Inaccurate Temperature Reading: Ensure the thermostat is not exposed to direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources that could affect its sensor.
For more complex issues, refer to the complete product manual or contact a qualified HVAC technician.
