PARTS OF THE THERMOSTAT
The Back of the Thermostat Body
Turn the thermostat body over. On the back
are the 9 volt Energizer® alkaline battery and
the option switches.
If the word BAT is flashing in the display
window, the battery is low and should be
replaced with a fresh 9 volt Energizer®
alkaline battery. The battery will provide
power for all functions except the display
lightandaudioprompting, whichworkonly
on 24 VAC power. If the word BAT is
displayed continuously (non-flashing), the
thermostat is not being supplied with
24 VAC power and is being powered by
the battery alone.
1. The 9 volt Energizer® alkaline battery pro-
vides power to the thermostat when the
24 VAC power is interrupted (for example,
when you remove the thermostat from the
wall for programming). A fresh battery will
maintain the stored program for approxi-
mately one week. If power loss is long
enough for the program to be lost, the
thermostat will automatically maintain a

programmed a temperature of 70°F. The
thermostat will automatically activate the
heating system at about 5:00 AM, so that
the programmed 70°F temperature is

OPERATING FEATURES
Now that you are familiar with the thermostat
display and buttons, read the following infor-
mation to learn about the many features of the
thermostat.

switch on the right). If it is ON (up), simply

to move the switch to the ON position (see

thermostat for at least two minutes, to
allow the thermostat to reset itself. DO
NOT MOVE ANY OTHER OPTION
SWITCH, as it may affect thermostat op-
eration. Replace the battery, reprogram
the thermostat if necessary, put the ther-

PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT
Now you are ready to program your thermo-
stat. This section will help you plan and pro-
gram your thermostat to meet your needs.
PLANNING FOR YOUR NEEDS
This thermostat will store separate heating
and cooling programs for five-day (weekday)
and two-day (weekend) operation. Usually,
the five-day program is set to run Monday
throughFriday, andthetwo-dayprogramisset
to run Saturday and Sunday. However, you
may choose any five consecutive days to be
your weekday program days (such as Sunday
through Thursday; in this case, your weekend
program would run on Friday and Saturday).
For maximum comfort and efficiency, keep the
following guidelines in mind when planning
your program.
• When heating (cooling) your building, pro-
gram the temperatures to be cooler
(warmer) when the building is vacant or
during periods of low activity.
• During early morning hours, the need for
cooling is usually minimal.
First, you should answer the following ques-
tions to help you decide what your needs are.
If you are using the thermostat for a commer-
cial application (a store, office building, etc.),
answer questions 1 through 4. If you are using

5. Why can’t I program the thermostat in
the AUTO mode?
4. What happens if the electricity goes off
or is manually shut off?
The thermostat can only be programmed
intheHEATand COOLmodes. SeePRO-
GRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT.
If you have not installed a 9 volt alkaline
battery, the display will go blank and the
program will be lost in approximately one
minute. When electricity is restored, the
thermostat will maintain a heating tem-
perature of 64°F and a cooling tempera-
ture of 82°F until you re-enter your pro-
gram. Setpoint temperature will not be
displayed.
6. What can cause the thermostat display
to freeze or go blank?
A completely blank display may indicate
that power has been lost to the thermostat
and the backup battery is also dead. How-
ever, if there is power to the thermostat
and the display is blank or frozen, static
discharge is probably the cause.
If a fresh 9 volt Energizer® alkaline battery
isinstalled, theprogramwillbemaintained
During periods of low humidity (especially
during cold weather), you may feel or see

a spark discharge when you touch the
thermostat. This may cause the program
to be lost or the thermostat to display
incorrectly. To correct this, remove the
thermostat from the wall and disconnect
the battery. Wait about one minute, then
reconnect the battery. The thermostat will
revert to the factory preset program until
you reprogram the thermostat. If you don’t
