4) Select Compressor Lockout (LOC OFF or ON) - Select-
ing LOC ON will cause the thermostat to wait 5 minutes
before turning on the compressor if the heating and cooling
system loses power. It will also wait 5 minutes minimum
between cooling cycles. This is intended to help protect the
compressor from short cycling. Some newer compressors
already have a time delay built in and do not require this
feature. Your compressor manufacturer can tell you if the
feature is already present in their system. When the
compressor time delay occurs it will flash the (snowflake
icon) for about five minutes then turn on the compressor.
5) Select Temperature Display Adjustment (4 LO to 4 HI) -
Allows you to adjust the room temperature display 4° higher
or lower. Your thermostat was accurately calibrated at the
factory but you have the option to change the display
temperature to match your previous thermostat.
6) Select Temperature DIsplay (
°F or °C) - Changes the
display readout to Centigrade or Fahrenheit as required.

settings produce very accurate temperature control and
can be set to your personal preference. FA cycles the
system just under 1°F and the SL setting cycles at approxi-
mately 1.5°F.
3) Select Display Backlight (d-L OFF or ON) - The display
backlight improves display contrast in low lighting condi-
tions. Selecting backlight ON will keep the light on continu-
ously. Selecting OFF will keep the light off.
