WELCOME
This is the Carrier ComfortChoiceRTouch Programmable
Communicating Thermostat (PCT) with ZigBeeRwireless
technology. This unique device’s state-of-the-art technology and
easy to use interface makes it easier than ever for you to keep
your home comfortable while saving energy and money.
Designed to be smart – and smart looking – as any of the other
electronics in your home, the new Touch thermostat offers
programming options to fit your lifestyle – not anybody else’s.
The thermostat can be set for 7-day, 5/2-day, or 1-day
programmable operation. Different heating and cooling set
points and times are programmable for 4 periods per day.

WELCOME
The thermostat also contains an advanced wireless
communication module that helps you save energy by
automatically responding to signals from your energy provider.
In the event your energy provider sends a signal to your
thermostat, there may be adjustments made to your settings that
will help you save energy. When signals are sent to your
thermostat that could result in adjustments to your settings, the
display will inform you of the changes. Your energy provider
can also send messages to the thermostat, which will also show
on your display.
By offering four daily temperature set points that allow you to
set temperatures according to the occupancy and activities in the
home, programmable thermostats can save energy and money
without sacrificing comfort. When the home is unoccupied or
people are sleeping, temperatures can be set lower for heating or
higher for cooling.

THE TOUCH SCREEN
Home -- Inactive
The screen provides a clean uncluttered look when not in use, showing the
time/date, room temperature, outside temp (if an outside sensor is used),
equipment icons and any energy event indicators. See Fig. 1.
The vent openings in the lower left corner of the thermostat contain the room
temperature sensor. IMPORTANT: To ensure correct temperature readings, do
not block the vent openings.
NOTE: If configured for a screen saver and a screen saver has been loaded, it
will be displayed after idle for 25 seconds.

time and date can be set manually.

BASIC THERMOSTAT OPERATION
Hold Until
The user has selected to follow the program schedule but changes the setpoint
temporarily. In addition to the setpoint change, there is a “hold until” time
indicating how long this temporary setpoint shall remain active. At the user
specified hold until time, the setpoints shall return to their program schedule
values. When hold until is active, the status box in the upper left hand corner of
the display shall say HOLD UNTIL with the hold until time displayed
underneath the status box.
If you wish to cancel the HOLD UNTIL and resume your programmed schedule,
hit the HOLD button. The HOLD button will then become the RESUME button.
Then, press the RESUME button, and your settings will be adjusted as required
per the programmed schedule.
Hold the Temperature
The thermostat is normally programmed to follow a schedule, but the current
temperature can be held indefinitely by pressing the HOLD button on the Home
Active screen. The word HOLD will appear in the top left corner of the screen.
See Fig. 7.
Resume the schedule by pressing the RESUME button.
