Before you begin programming your thermostat, you should be
familiar with its features and with the display and the location
and operation of the thermostat buttons. Your thermostat consists
of two parts: the thermostat cover and the base. To remove the
cover, pull it straight out from the base. To replace the cover,
line up the cover with the base and press until the cover snaps
onto the base.

1) Select Temporary Hold Time - The thermostat can hold any
temperature you set it to for the amount of time you select on
this option. Your choices are 0:00 to 8:00 hours in 15 minute
increments. 0:00 disables the function
Example:
1. You have selected 3:00 hours for the Temporary Hold
time period.
2. With the thermostat set to Heat or Cool, press HOLD
for approximately fi ve seconds until HOLD time (3:00
indicating 3 hours) appears as a setting reminder.
3. After releasing the button, “HOLD” on the display will
blink.

or to set the temperature to your preference.
The thermostat will maintain this temperature setting
for 3 hours with “HOLD” blinking to remind you it is in
Temporary Hold. After 3 hours the thermostat will go
back to the program temperature and “HOLD” will no
longer blink or display.
2) Select FA or SL (Fast or Slow) Heating Cycle Rate - The
FA setting is frequently used for gas, oil or electric heat. The
SL setting produces a longer heating cycle which is normally
for hot water or steam (hydronic) systems. Both 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 approximately 1.5°F.
3) Select backlit display - The display backlight improves
display contrast in low lighting conditions. Selecting backlight
ON will keep the light on for a short period of time after any
key is pressed. Selecting OFF will keep the light off.
