temperature setpoint.
2. Press either the or button
to adjust the temperature setting
either up or down.
The display will return to the room temperature display five seconds after
the last input and the new setpoint will be saved.
Changing Temperature Differential
IMPORTANT: The temperature differential is factory set at 1 (.5°). This
means that whenever the room temperature changes by one half of a
degree from the temperature setting, the system will turn on. If the
system turns on too often, increase the temperature differential.
1. Press both and buttons
at the same time and hold for one
second.
2. Press either the or button

Refer to your systems installation manual for wiring information.
Thermostat does not turn
on system
Check Wiring
(see INSTALLATION).
Check fuse. Replace with 2 amp
fuse if fuse has opened.
Thermostat turns on and
off too frequently.
Increase Temperature Differential
(see DIFFERENTIAL).
Display is blank, flashing
or constant “LO BAT”.
Replace batteries.
System fan does not
operate properly.
Move fan option switch to either
gas or electric, to match system
(see INSTALLATION).
Thermostat does not display
proper room temperature.
Check “F” Fahrenheit/”C” Celsius
switch located at top center of
circuit board for proper position.
If a new selection is made, press
“RESET” button located directly
below LCD display.

located at the top center of the circuit board to the desired setting.
2. Press RESET button located lust below the LCD display to register
the change.

To Test Thermostat
WARNING: DO NOT SHORT (JUMPER) ACROSS TERMINALS OF GAS
VALVE OR SYSTEM CONTROL TO TEST OPERATION. THIS WILL DAMAGE
THE THERMOSTAT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
CAUTION: Do not switch system to cool if the temperature is below
50°F (10°C). This can damage the air conditioning system and cause
personal injury.
1. Place the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch
into the COOL position
2. Press the button until the
temperature setting is at least
3 degrees below the room temperature.
The air conditioning system should
turn on within a few seconds.
NOTE: When in the COOL mode (or HEAT and COOL for single stage
heat pumps), once the thermostat turns off, a built in 5-minute delay
prevents the system from turning on again. This protects the compressor.
No additional time delay relay is required.
3. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch
into the OFF position. The air
conditioning system should turn off.
4. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch
into the HEAT position.
5. Press the button until the
temperature setting is at least
3 degrees above room temperature.
The heating system should turn on.
The fan may not turn on immediately,
depending upon the fan delay built
into the furnace.
6. Put the COOL-OFF-HEAT switch
into the OFF position. The heating
system should turn off. The fan may
continue to run for a short period
of time.
7. Put the FAN: AUTO-ON switch to
the ON position. The blower fan
should turn on.
8. Put the FAN: AUTO-ON switch to
the AUTO position. The blower fan
should turn off.
