NOTE: When the number of Holiday Override days expires, the screen shows "Following Schedule" to indicate that the Holiday Override has ended.
Fan Schedule
Press FAN while in the SCHEDULE screen to program the system fan. Choices available from the SCHEDULE screen:
- AUTO (default position): Fan runs with equipment. Programmable for all SCHEDULE periods (OCC 1, UNOCC1, OCC 2, and UNOCC2).
- ON: Fan runs continuously (programmable for all SCHEDULE periods).
Fan Status Displayed on Main Screen
If the fan program is scheduled, the scheduled mode (AUTO or ON) appears. When the thermostat is running the fan, a fan blade symbol [fan symbol] appears next to FAN to indicate the thermostat has the fan on.
NOTE: If the thermostat is not controlling the fan—typical for many gas, forced-air heating systems—the fan blade symbol [fan symbol] will not appear even though the fan may be running.
Manual Override of Fan Schedule
- AUTO: Fan is automatically following the FAN schedule (choices are AUTO and ON).
- ON: Overrides FAN schedule. The fan is continuously on.
Replacing Batteries
Not all thermostat models require batteries. If the thermostat has batteries, a low battery warning flashes on the main screen for approximately 30 days.
NOTES:
- If batteries are not replaced when the "Low Battery" warning is flashing, the "LO BATT" screen displays continuously, and the thermostat stops operating until batteries are replaced.
- The thermostat has a low battery indicator. However, it is recommended that you replace the batteries once each year. Do this to prevent leakage and prevent the thermostat and HVAC system from shutting down due to lack of thermostat battery power.
Replace the batteries as follows:
- Remove the thermostat from the base by pulling it straight out.
- Install three new AAA alkaline batteries with proper polarization.
NOTES:
- Always use AAA alkaline batteries.
- All programming (Schedule, Date, and Time) information is retained during battery replacement.
- Place the thermostat back on its base by aligning the terminal screw blocks with the pins on the back of the thermostat.
- Push the thermostat straight onto the base.
Cleaning Thermostat Screen
The thermostat has a touch screen interface. Follow these steps to clean the screen without making thermostat changes:
- Press SCREEN. The thermostat locks out the keypad for 30 seconds to allow for cleaning.
IMPORTANT: Do not spray any liquid directly on the screen. If using household glass cleaner, spray cleaner onto a cloth. Then use the cloth to wipe the screen clean.
- Use a damp cloth slightly moistened with water or household glass cleaner to clean the screen.
- Repeat above steps, as necessary.
- Press DONE to return to the main screen and normal operation.
NOTE: If no button is pressed for two minutes, the device automatically returns to the main screen.
Reading Remote Indoor Temperature
If connected to an installed remote indoor temperature sensor, the thermostat displays the indoor temperature from the remote sensor(s).
NOTE: When connected to an installed remote indoor temperature sensor, the thermostat's internal sensor is not used.
ONE REMOTE INDOOR SENSOR INSTALLED
If one remote indoor temperature sensor is used, the screen showing the "Inside" temperature reading displays the temperature at the indoor remote sensor location.
MULTIPLE REMOTE INDOOR SENSORS INSTALLED
If more than one remote indoor sensor is used, the screen showing the "Inside" temperature reading displays the average of all the remote indoor sensors.
Reading Outdoor Temperature
If connected to an outdoor sensor, the thermostat displays the Outside temperature.
VIEW OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE
The Outside temperature is located in the lower right corner of the main screen. If it is not on the main screen, view the outdoor temperature by pressing MORE until the outside temperature shows.
Screen Locked
Portions of the touch screen interface can be fully or partially locked. See the Advanced Settings section for information on using these features. When the thermostat displays "SCREEN LOCKED", the touch screen interface is either fully or partially locked.
Fully Locked Screen
In this mode, the entire interface is locked and not functional. To unlock the screen, see the Advanced Settings section. The screen continuously displays "SCREEN LOCKED".
Partially Locked Screen
When partially locked:
- Pressing a locked key prompts the screen to indicate "SCREEN LOCKED" for five to seven seconds.
- Pressing an unlocked key with "SCREEN LOCKED" active removes "SCREEN LOCKED" from the display.
Partial Lockout Modes

- Pressing OVERRIDE sets the temperature to the Occupied setting for the selected period of time. The next Unoccupied period switches back to the program settings.
- To cancel the temperature override and follow the programmed schedule, press CANCEL.
- To unlock the screen, see the Advanced Settings section.
Temperature Recovery
The thermostat is equipped with a feature to eliminate guesswork when setting a schedule. The user does not need to know the amount of time required for the HVAC system to bring the space to the desired temperature (without overshoot) prior to the scheduled time; the thermostat manages this automatically.
Simply set the program schedule to the desired time to have the space at the comfort temperature. Additionally, program the temperature to this comfort temperature. The thermostat activates the heating or cooling at the proper time to reach the scheduled temperature at the scheduled time.
NOTE: The setpoint changes gradually to use economical stages and avoid overshoot.
For example, if the space will be occupied at 8:00 AM and the desired temperature is 70°F, set the OCC 1 period for 8:00 AM and 70°F. The thermostat will turn on the heat prior to 8:00 AM to raise the temperature to 70°F by 8:00 AM.
The thermostat provides an alert that the heating or cooling system is coming on before a scheduled time by displaying "Recovery" on the screen.
Setting Calendar
This thermostat is designed to, under normal use, automatically keep current time and day in memory for up to ten years once the calendar is set. There are two ways to set the calendar for this thermostat:
SETTING CALENDAR AFTER THERMOSTAT IS ALREADY FUNCTIONING
See steps 1 through 4 in the Advanced Settings section to set the year, month, and day.
SETTING CALENDAR WHEN THERMOSTAT IS FIRST POWERED
When first powered, the thermostat proceeds through a sequence of screens to set the calendar.
Advanced Settings
The thermostat has many advanced settings to match the HVAC system. These settings can be adjusted to match specific needs:
- From the main screen, press SYSTEM. Five blank touch keys appear on the bottom of the screen between DONE and CANCEL.
