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 bottom 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
box in the lower right corner.

13
QUICK START
4. Press the up or down button, located to the right of the
display, to change the displayed setting. Stop on the
desired setting.
5. When there are arrow indicators next to both the words
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
necessary 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
temperatures. To change the amount of time the
temperature is on hold, press the button under the
hold hours or minutes. Then press the up or down
button on the right. Stop at the desired amount of hold
time.
7. Close the door.

14
QUICK START
Holding the temperature
Here’s how to override your programmed temperature settings and hold the
temperature at a specific setting without the temperature changing during the
next programmed period.
1. Open the door.
2. Press the schedule button at the top. The arrow will
move to the word hold under the button.
3. The screen displays the set temperature in the lower right.
To change that temperature, press the up or down button
on the right. The temperature will stay at the setting you
selected until you release the hold.
4. To change the heating temperature when the cooling
temperature is displayed – and vice versa – press the
mode button at the top of the screen until the arrow
moves to your choice – heat or cool.Then press the up
or down button on the right to reach your desired
temperaturesetting.
5. To return the temperature to the pre−set level for that
time period, press the mode button until the arrow
moves to follow schedule.
6. Close the door.

QUICK START
Using the ExP – Edge Expansion Port – to program the thermostat
Your Edge thermostat has an unique ExP – Edge Expansion
Port – that allows you to use a digital memory card to program
the thermostat on your computer. The ExP is sold separately
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
automaticallytransfer 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 6 AM 68 76
Day 8 AM 60 85
Evening 5 PM 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.
