Step 3: Prepare the Thermostat

Remove the mounting plate from the Amana DS01(x) thermostat. Insert two (2) AA batteries into the thermostat.

Images show an Amana DS01(x) thermostat and its internal circuit board. The circuit board is shown with two Energizer AA batteries installed.

Step 4: Initiate RF Pairing

Step 5: Activate Thermostat Pairing

Press and release the white pairing button located on the back of the DS01(x) thermostat.

Two images show the back of the DS01(x) thermostat's circuit board. The first highlights the "Pairing Button". The second shows a finger pressing this button.

Step 6: Confirm Thermostat Linking

When the DS01(x) thermostat successfully pairs with the Amana PTAC unit, the status on the app's "Binding" page will change from "Binding" to "Linked". The device will then be listed on the Bindings page. The "Tamper" indicator on the thermostat will disappear once it is placed back on its mounting plate.

Two screenshots of the Amana PTAC app's "Bindings" screen. The left shows the status as "Binding" with a countdown timer. The right shows the status as "Linked" with the device listed, indicating a successful connection.

Step 7: Prepare the DigiDoor EMS Device (if applicable)

If you need to pair an Eden EMS DigiDoor device (DD01(x)) to the Amana PTAC unit, proceed with the following steps. Remove the DD01(x) device from its mounting plate.

Step 8: Activate DD01(x) Pairing

Check the status on the app's "Bindings" page.

If the status still says "Status: Binding" and there is time remaining on the countdown timer, simply press and release the white pairing button on the back of the DD01(x) device.
If the status does not say "Binding" (e.g., it's already linked or timed out), click the "Bind" button in the app again, and then press and release the white pairing button on the back of the DD01E device.

Screenshot of the Amana PTAC app's "Bindings" screen, showing "Status: Binding" with a countdown timer. Instructions refer to the DD01(x) device's pairing button.

Step 9: Confirm DD01(x) Linking

When the DD01(x) EMS device successfully pairs to the Amana PTAC unit, the status on the app's "Bindings" page will change to "Linked", and the device will be listed. Similar to the thermostat, the "Tamper" indicator on the DD01E EMS device will disappear once it is placed back on its mounting plate.

Two screenshots of the Amana PTAC app's "Bindings" screen. The left shows "Status: Binding" with a countdown. The right shows "Status: Linked" with the device listed, confirming successful pairing.

Final Steps

Once pairing is confirmed for either the DS01(x) thermostat or the DD01(x) EMS device, place them back onto their respective mounting plate(s). Finally, reinstall the splash pad and replace the Amana PTAC unit's inside front cover.
