To enter programming mode, press the 'M' button until the automatic mode icon (house with clock) appears. Use the up/down arrows and 'M' button to navigate and set your desired schedule. An example schedule might be:

• Weekdays: 7:00 AM (20°C), 8:30 AM (4°C), 11:30 AM (20°C), 12:40 PM (4°C), 6:30 PM (22°C), 10:30 PM (17°C)
• Weekends: 8:30 AM (24°C), 11:00 PM (17°C)

5.3. Advanced Functions

The thermostat includes several advanced features for enhanced control and safety:

• Parental Control (Child Lock): Prevents unauthorized changes to settings.
• Power-off Memory: Retains settings even after a power outage.
• Anti-freeze Protection: Automatically activates heating if the temperature drops below a set minimum to prevent pipes from freezing.
• Temperature Compensation: Allows for calibration of the displayed temperature to match an external reference.
• Hysteresis: Defines the temperature differential before the heating system switches on or off, preventing rapid cycling.
• Factory Reset: Resets all settings to their default values.

5.4. Maintaining Constant Room Temperature

The thermostat works to maintain your set temperature by cycling the boiler on and off. For example, if the set temperature is 24°C, the heating might turn on at 23.5°C and turn off at 24.5°C, ensuring a stable and comfortable environment.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and accurate operation of your Beok BOT-R6X thermostat, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the thermostat's display and casing with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: If using battery power, replace the three AA batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.
• Environmental Conditions: Keep the thermostat away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources that could affect its temperature readings.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your thermostat, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Thermostat Not Responding: Check the power supply. If battery-powered, replace the batteries. If USB-powered, ensure the cable is securely connected and the power adapter is functioning.
• Heating Not Activating: Verify that the receiver is properly connected to the gas boiler and that the boiler's power supply is on. Ensure the thermostat is within the 30-meter wireless range of the receiver. Check the set temperature; it must be higher than the current room temperature for heating to activate.
• Inaccurate Temperature Reading: Ensure the thermostat is not placed near heat sources, direct sunlight, or drafts. If calibration is needed, use the temperature compensation feature in advanced settings.
• Settings Lost: If settings are not retained after a power cycle, ensure the power-off memory function is enabled (if applicable) or consider performing a factory reset and reconfiguring.
• Wireless Connection Issues: If the thermostat and receiver lose connection, try moving the thermostat closer to the receiver. Obstacles like thick walls or metal objects can interfere with the RF signal.

If problems persist after attempting these steps, please contact customer support.
