Settings screen, the filter change reminder icon displays alerting you to change
the filter.

activation from the NI Master.
Current Weather Page Enables you to turn off the current weather screen on the thermostat. If you are
not using the i!-Weather application to report the weather forecast to the

appear when you navigate through the thermostat’s screens. If you disable the
forecast screens, only the indoor temperature displays on the Main screen.

not using the i!-Weather application to report the weather forecast to the

appear when you navigate through the thermostat’s screens. If you disable the
forecast screens, only the indoor temperature displays on the Main screen.

activates after 30 seconds without any user input, and displays the current
room temperature moving around the screen on a black background.
