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

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
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.

down button located on the right side of the display

Expansion Port - that allows you to use a digital memory _/ _:_.
card to program the thermostat on your computer. _-_._
Remove the dual port digital memory card and insert it in IIJ
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.

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

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 9° to sleep, Use this blank 9rid to
determine those time periods based on your own schedule alon 9 with
how warm or cool you want your home to be at those times,
