Reset Operation
If a voltage spike or static discharge blanks out the display or causes erratic thermostat operation, you can reset the thermo-
stat by removing the wires from terminals R and C and removing batteries for 2 minutes. After resetting the thermostat,
replace the wires and batteries. If the thermostat has been reset and still does not function correctly contact your heating/
cooling service person or place of purchase.
Pressing
and and the SYSTEM keys at the same time will reset the thermostat to its factory default setting. This will
also clear any limited temperature ranges or keypad lockout settings. Note default system configuration is multistage system
operation.
