Programming the Thermostat
When programming the thermostat, you can set the heating, cooling, humidify, and dehumidify setpoints
for various times of the day for each day of the week. There are four periods of the day for which you can
create temperature and humidity setpoints. The four periods are Wake, Leave, Return, and Sleep. You
can change the start time for each period to adjust the settings for your personal schedule. For example,
during warm months, you can set the cool temperature to a higher setting when you are away from home
to save on energy costs. Perform the following steps to program the thermostat:
1. From the Main screen, press Mode/Select to access the Current Weather screen.
2. Press Mode/Select to access the 5-Day Forecast screen.
3. Press Mode/Select to access the Thermostat Mode screen.
4. Use the navigation buttons to select Program, and press Mode/Select to access the Program Mode
Setting screen (see FIG. 21).

settings.

Copying Programmed Settings
To make it easier to program the thermostat, you can create settings for one day and copy the settings to
every following day for the entire week. Perform the following steps to copy programmed settings:
1. Create settings for one or more periods of the day according to the instructions in the Programming
the Thermostat section on page 24.
2. Use the navigation buttons to select Next Day, and press Mode/Select. The settings for the next day
of the week appear.
3. Use the navigation buttons to select Copy Prev, and press Mode/Select. The thermostat copies the
settings from the previous day onto the current day.
