8. The thermostat beeps every few min-
utes. What does this mean?
The thermostat will beep every five minutes
when the batteries are low and need replac-
ing. To override the beeping, press any
button on the keypad. The beeping will stop
for 15 hours, then start again. You may
again stop the beeping by pressing any
button on the keypad. After turning the beep
off three times, the thermostat will quit beep-
ing. However, you risk losing your thermo-
stat programming if you continue to turn off
the beep and do not change the batteries.
See OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT.
9. The display shows a continuous (non-
flashing) BATTERY. What does this
mean?
The thermostat is not being supplied with 24
VAC power. The thermostat is operating on
battery power alone. See OPERATING
YOUR THERMOSTAT.
10. Why won’t the compressor turn on, even
though the thermostat display is func-
tioning normally?
Either the compressor lockout feature is in
operation or the thermostat is not currently
calling for cool. Wait about 5 minutes for the
compressor lockout to expire. If the system
is still not running, read the cautionary state-
ment below. Then, if conditions permit,
use the button to move the tempera-
ture below the setpoint temperature. See
OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT.
