POWER & RESET OPTIONS
The thermostat is dual power. It can either be AC or
battery powered, or both (to provide backup power for
the clock). Batteries are optional if your thermostat was
wired to run on AC power when installed.
For heat pump systems the C terminal must be connected
to the common of the 24VAC transformer in order for the
system fault and emergency heat indicators to operate.
The thermostat has a memory backup that saves the
thermostat settings in case of a power interruption. The
system settings will be retained but the clock will reset
after 90 seconds with no battery or AC power.
The reset button located under the battery cover can
be used to reset the thermostat to factory defaults. The
system settings will also be reset to default.
Note: The reset button is disabled when the thermostat
is removed from the wall for programming.
