This thermostat will NOT control single-stage or multi-stage heat pumps or 110/220 V baseboard electric heating systems. - Temperature Range
This thermostat can be programmed between 45°F and 95°F (7°C.and 35°C).
However, it will display room temperatures from 30°F io 99°F (O°C and 37°C). “HI? will be displayed if the temperature is higher than 99°F (87°C), and “LO* will be displayed if the temperature is lower than 30°F (0°C).
This thermostat will automatically cut-off in Heat made if the temperature rises above 95°F (35°C), and automatically cut-off in Coal made if the temperature drapes below 45°F (7°C). - Compressor Protection
This thermostat provides a 3.5 minute delay after shutting off the coaling-system before it can be restarted. This feature will prevent damage ta your compressor caused by rapid cycling. It does not prevent a rapid compressor restart due to short power outages. - Battery Warning
Two fresh AA alkaline batteries should provide well aver one year of service.
However, when the batteries become drained, the Law Battery indicator will flash on the display. When this message accurse, install new alkaline batteries. You have approximately 1 minute ta change the batteries and keep thermostat’s clock and program settings. Once the batteries have become too low to ensure proper operation, your system will be turned Off, and the display will be cleared except for flashing Lew Battery Indicator on the LCD display.
CAUTION: When ONLY the battery icon flashes on the display, the A thermostat is shut down, and your system will no longer operate. in this condition, there is no temperature control of your dwelling.

FEATURES
INSTALLATION
What You Need
This thermostat includes two #8 slatted screws and two wall anchors far mounting.
To install your thermostat, you should have the Tall awing tools and materials.
- Slotted Screwdriver(s)
- Small Philips screwdriver
- Hammer
- Electric drill and 3/16″ bit
- Two 1.5 V (AA) size alkaline batteries
Remove Old Thermostat:
CAUTION: Do not remove any wiring from existing thermostat before reading the instructions carefully. Wires must be labeled prior to removal.
- IMPORTANT! Turn off the pawer to the furnace at the main pawer panel or at the furnace,
- Remove existing thermostat caver and thermostat. See Figure 1. Some thermostats will have screws or other locking devices that must first be removed. Once the wall mounting plate is expaned, look for wires.
If wires are not visible, they may be connected to the back of the wall plate. Again, look for screws, tabs, etc. Some models have doors that open ta expose wires and’ mounting screws. See Figure 1.
Typical Home Thermostats
Wire Labeling
- Each wire coming from the wall to the existing thermostat is connected to a terminal point on that thermostat. Each of these terminal points is usually marked with a cade letter as shown in Table A below.
- The number of wires in your system can be as few as two (for heat only systems), as many as eight, or any number in between. If you follow the labeling procedures correctly, you do-not have to be concerned-about how many wires there are.
- There is often no terminal marking on the existing thermostat of two wire, heat only systems. Just connect either of the wires to the RH terminal, then connect the other wire to the RH terminal to complete the circuit.
- IMPORTANT! BEFORE DISCONNECTING ANY WIRES, APPLY THE SELF-ADHESIVE LABELS PROVIDED TO THE WIRE AS SHOWN IN TABLE A BELOW. (For example, attach the label marked W to the wire that goes to the W or H terminal on your existing thermostat.
IGNORE THE COLOR OF THE WIRES since these do not always comply with the standard. - After labeling wires, disconnect them from the existing thermostat terminals.
- Remove existing wall plate. To make sure wires do not fall back into wall opening, you may want to tape them to the wall.
- If-hole in wall is larger than necessary for wires, seal this hole with insulating material so that no hot or cold air can enter the back of the thermostat from the wall. This air could cause-a false thermostat reading.
