programming features.

play.

QUICK START
Setting 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’d like
it to be. These steps will hold the temperature where you set it. For the temperature
to change automatically according to your lifestyle needs – whether you’re home,
away or asleep – you’ll need to follow the Touch ‘N’ Go instructions on pages 13 –
19.
1. Open the door.
2. Press the up or down button located on the right side of
the display. You will see the preset temperature settings
for heating and cooling. The word heat will flash.
3. Press the up or down button to change the heat setting.
Stop on the correct setting.
4. Press the hold/run button.

10
QUICK START
5. Press the mode button located on the left side of the dis-
play once. You will see the preset temperature setting for
cooling appear on the right side of the display.
6. Press the up or down button. The word cool will flash.
7. Continue pressing the up or down button to change the
cool setting. Stop at the desired cooling setting.
8. Press the hold/run button located on the left side of the
display. This holds the thermostat at that setting.
9. Press the done button.
10. Close the door.

11
QUICK START
Changing the temperature
There are times when you want to change the temperature.
Here’s how.
1. Open the door.
2. Press the up or down buttons on the right side until you
reach the desired temperature setting. This creates a “tem-
porary hold” until the next pre−set time period. You will
see temporary hold on the display. (To switch from the
cooling temperature to the heating temperature – or vice
versa – press the mode button on the left until the word
heat or cool is flashing.)
3. To maintain that temperature setting so it doesn’t change
during the next pre−set time period, press the hold/run
button on the left side. The display will show hold. The
temperature will stay at the setting you selected until you
release the hold.
4. To return the temperature to the pre−set level for that time
period, press hold/run. This releases the hold and the tem-
perature will return to its programmed level.
5. Close the door.

12
QUICK START
Understanding Touch ‘N’ Go feature
The unique Touch ‘N’ Go feature on your thermostat is a revolutionary tool that lets
you use a simpler programming option – literally, touch and go – to help you get
the maximum comfort control from the entire comfort system.
With the touch of one Touch `N' Go button – home, away or sleep – you can
tell your thermostat where you’ll be. To keep the home at that comfort level
indefinitely, you add one more button – hold/run – and you’re set. It’s the ideal
choice for somebody whose schedule varies from day to day or doesn’t fit into the
two or four predictable time periods allowed by the thermostat.
At the same time, these three comfort options – home, away and sleep – are
connected to the thermostat’s full−level programming power so that you get the
home comfort you desire exactly when you want it.
The three Touch `N' Go buttons are preset at the factory for typical heating and
cooling temperature settings and assigned to specific time periods. You can change
these temperature settings and the hours you want to use them easily. Learn how to
do that and discover how useful this device is as you read through this manual.

PROGRAMMING THE THERMOSTAT
Programming the Touch ‘N’ Go feature
The Touch ‘N’ Go feature on your thermostat involves the home, away and sleep
buttons immediately under the display. They are used for two programming
options. One is more sophisticated than the other.
The simpler programming option requires you to either accept the preset
temperature settings for when you are home, away or asleep, or to set your own
Touch ‘N’ Go heating and cooling temperature settings. Either way, your home,
away and sleep settings are automatically linked to one of four time periods that are
also preset (and changeable) on the thermostat.
You can override those preset time periods and their relationship to your home,
away and sleep buttons by pressing one of those three buttons at any time. This
will let you create a “temporary hold” at that comfort level until the next
programming period.
You can also hold the thermostat at your home, away or sleep temperatures by
pressing one of those three buttons and then pressing the hold button.
This approach is popular with people who don’t follow the same routine every day.
And while you need to remember to push one of those three buttons when you
leave, come home, or go to bed, doing that is easier for some than manually
re−setting the temperature several times a day.

14
PROGRAMMING THE THERMOSTAT
The more sophisticated programming option works well with people who tend to
follow a more predictable routine and who also want to get the most from this
thermostat’s potential. For both programming options, you must set−up your Touch
‘N’ Go heating and cooling temperatures in order to use the thermostat’s expanded
programming options.
Here are the temperature settings that are pre−programmed for your home, away
and sleep periods.
Touch `N' Go Option Heat Cool
Home 68 74
Away 60 85
Sleep 66 78
