2. SETTING TEMPERATURES
Press the Up or Down adjust button. The setting to be changed will begin to flash. Press and
hold the button to change the setting.
If operating in the HEAT mode, the only temperature set point available to change is the Heat
setting. When the room temperature drops below this setting the heat will come on (call for
heating) to raise the temperature. EM. HEAT mode uses the HEAT setting.
If operating in the COOL mode, the only temperature set point available to change is the
COOL setting. When the room temperature rises above this setting the Cooling will come on
(call for cooling) to lower the temperature.
If operating in the HEAT or COOL mode the first press of the Up or Down adjust button will
indicate which of the two temperature settings will be adjusted it will be the one flashing.
If this is not the desired temperature to adjust, press the Mode button to access the other
temperature setting.
3. FAN OPERATION
The thermostat can operate the fan either continually (FAN ON), or only during Heating and
Cooling calls. Press the Fan button to toggle between these two options. FAN ON is
recommended for media/electronic air cleaners, ventilating equipment, and to allow for
humidification in mild climates.
4. BACKLIGHT OPERATION
Operation of the backlight is configured in the Thermostat Set-Up. Depending on the set-up,
the backlight will light at the press of any button, or it can be disabled (refer to page 11).
The backlight will stay on for 10 seconds after the last press of a button.
