QUICK START
Setting or changing the temperatures for heating and cooling
Your thermostat is installed with pre--set heating and cooling temperature settings.
You can use these or change them so your home is as warm or as cool as you would
like it to be. You can also temporarily change the temperature after you’ve
programmed your thermostat according to your specific schedule needs.
These steps will temporarily hold the temperature where you set it for two hours
until the next programmed cycle begins.
1. Open the door. You will see an arrow next to the word heat or cool in the
upper right corner on the screen, depending on the mode your system is in.
(If it’s the first time you’ve used the thermostat, it will say heat.) The pre--
programmed heating or cooling temperature is displayed in a box at the bot-
tom of the screen.
2. To change the displayed temperature, press the up or
down button located on the right side of the display until
you reach the desired setting.
3. To change the other temperature, press the mode button
above the screen. The arrow will move to the word cool
or heat and the screen will show that temperature in a
boxinthelowerrightcorner.

heat and cool at the top right of the screen, the heating
and cooling temperatures are also displayed at the bottom
of the screen. You can change either one by pressing the
button underneath the temperature you want to
change, then pressing the up or down button on the
right. Repeat the process for the other temperature if nec-
essary and press the done button when you are finished.
6. The thermostat will hold these changes for two hours or
until the next programmed cycle begins, as indicated by
the words temporary hold for 2:00 next to the set tem-
peratures. To change the amount of time the temperature
is on hold, press the button under the hold hours or

ting you selected until you release the hold.

perature is displayed – and vice versa – press the mode

ting.

QUICK START
Using the ExP – Expansion Port – to program the thermostat
Your Preferredtthermostat has an unique ExP –
Expansion Port – that allows you to use a digital
memory card to program the thermostat on your
computer. The ExP is sold as an accessory.
Remove the dual port digital memory card and insert it in your computer’s digital or
USB memory card reader. Follow the onscreen instructions to program
temperatures, the corresponding time, and the day of the week. You can even
schedule your thermostat to remind you to change your furnace filter, the UV light
or humidifier pad. When you’ve completed the process on your computer, simply
reinsert the card back into the ExP port on the thermostat. It will automatically
transfer the settings on the card to the thermostat.

PROGRAMMING THE THERMOSTAT
Determining your programming schedule
Unlike many thermostats, this one gives you the option of programming every day
of the week differently. It is pre--programmed at the factory with the same settings
for all seven days:
Monday
through
Sunday
Time Heat Cool
Wake 6AM 68 76
Day 8AM 60 85
Evening 5PM 68 76
Sleep 10 PM 60 82

17
PROGRAMMING THE THERMOSTAT
You can change those settings easily. Each day in your schedule must have four
time periods. The thermostat thinks of these time blocks in terms of when people
wake up, when they leave for the day, when they return home, and when they go to
sleep. Use this blank grid to determine those time periods based on your own
schedule along with how warm or cool you want your home to be at those times.
