POWER FAILURES
Your thermostat employs the latest developments in
solid state electronic technology.
One of the unique features of your thermostat is that
no battery is required to maintain your selected set-
points in the event of a power loss as the memory is
unaffected by power failures of any duration.
When power is restored, the thermostat will continue
operating as if the power had never been off.
TEMPERATURE ACCURACY
Full temperature accuracy will be realized only after
the thermostat has been installed and powered for at
least one hour.
