Setting The Temperature
For Heating:
Set the left lever (blue mark) to the energy
savings temperature you want when you are
sleeping or your home is unoccupied.
Set the right lever (red mark) to the tempera-
ture you want for normal comfort periods.
NOTE: You may override the time program by
setting both the red and blue levers to the
same temperature setpoint.
For Cooling (not applicable on
heating-only model):
Set the left lever (blue mark) to the tempera-
ture you want for normal comfort periods.
Set the right lever (red mark) to the energy
savings temperature you want when you are
sleeping or your home is unoccupied. See Fig. 1.

Setting Subbase Switches
(if applicable)
The subbase system switch controls
system operation as follows:
HEAT: Heating system is controlled by the
thermostat. Cooling system is off.
COOL: Cooling system is controlled by the
thermostat. Heating system is off.
OFF: Both the heating and cooling systems
are off. If the fan switch is at the AUTO
position, the fan is also off.
AUTO: In a cooling only application, only
cooling operates. In a heating only
application, only heating operates.
The subbase fan switch controls fan
operation as follows:
ON: Fan operates continuously.
AUTO: Fan operates with cooling equipment
as controlled by the thermostat or with the
heating equipment as controlled by the
plenum fan switch. In electric heat, heat
pump, and fan coil systems, the fan is
controlled by the thermostat in heating and
cooling.
To switch positions, use thumb or index
finger to slide lever to desired position. Switch
lever must stop in detent over desired function
indicator mark for proper circuit operation.

Inserting Clock Batteries
Power is supplied to the clock by two AAA
alkaline batteries (included). Install batteries in
thermostat as shown in Fig. 2. Once a year, or
when batteries are dead, replace with two new
AAA alkaline batteries. We recommend
Energizer®batteries. The thermostat itself will
operate without batteries, but will not operate
as a fuel saver.

Setting The Clock
Lift thermostat flip-up cover and you’ll find
the 24-hour program dial, slotted in 10-minute
increments. Adjust the clock to the current time
by moving the minute hand carefully in the
clockwise direction. Do not reverse the
minute hand.
When time is correctly set, the Time
Indicator Arrow (see Fig. 3) will point to the
correct time and corresponding daytime (light)
or nighttime (dark) band of the program dial.
EXAMPLE: For 11 PM, the time indicator arrow
will point directly to the dark band. For 11 AM,
the arrow will point to the light band on the
dial
Daylight Saving Time
When daylight saving time starts, move the
minute hand carefully in a clockwise
direction one hour. When daylight saving
time ends, move the minute hand carefully in
a clockwise direction 23 hours. Do not
reverse the minute hand, or damage to the
clock mechanism may occur.

Programming
You can program your thermostat to
automatically lower and raise the temperature
one or more times every 24 hours.
Refer to the energy savings chart on the
back cover for typical heating and cooling
savings with your new thermostat.
Before setting your program:
Lift thermostat flip-up cover and you’ll find
the 24-hour program dial. The slots on the
program dial (Fig. 4) are for the program pins,
which can be inserted at 10-minutes intervals.
Three red and three blue program pins are
included with your thermostat. The red pins start
the high-temperature period; the blue pins start
the low-temperature period. A heating program is
preprogrammed. A red pin is inserted at 6:00 AM
Fig. 4—Program components.
for high temperature (comfort period); a blue pin
is inserted at 10:00 PM for low temperature
(energy saving period).

Two additional sets of pins are located in
the program pin storage area. You can set up
to six temperature changes with the pins
supplied. We recommend at least five hours for
each energy saving period.
To change the pins or add a new energy
savings period—
•To insert a pin, push it straight into the
selected notch on the program dial until it
is completely seated.
•To remove a pin, press against program
dial and pull the pin straight out. Do
not
attempt to change a pin if it is engaged
with the program index wheel.
•On heating/cooling systems, you must
reset the pins when the seasons change.
You will also probably want to change the
lever positions.
Setting the heating program:
Decide when you want the temperature to
reach the comfort level. Find the notch on the
dial that is one-half hour before this time and
insert a red pin. The half-hour head start gives
the furnace time to heat the house before you
wake up or arrive home.

Setting the cooling program (not
applicable on heating-only model):
Decide when you want the temperature to
reach the comfort level. Find the notch on the
dial that is one-half hour before this time and
insert a
blue pin. The half-hour head start gives
the air conditioner time to cool the house
before you wake up or arrive home.
Decide when you want the energy savings
period to start and insert a red pin at the notch
that corresponds to this time. After the red pin
engages, the air conditioner will be off until
room temperature rises to the energy savings
setpoint.
Decide when you want the energy savings
period to start and insert a blue pin at the
notch that corresponds to this time. After the
blue pin engages, the furnace will be off until
room temperature drops to the energy savings
setpoint.
You can set both a day and a night pro-
gram. See Fig. 5 for program examples.

16 69-0395—2
Temporarily changing the program
You may temporarily raise or lower the
temperature if you come home early, stay up
late, plan to be out for the evening, leave on
vacation, etc. You can make a temporary
change one of two ways—move the program
index wheel or push the setting levers together.
A move of the program index wheel will
change the program just until the next regularly
scheduled change is due.
•Lift the thermostat cover.
•Move the program index wheel counter-
clockwise so the time indicator arrow
points to the desired color on the dial.
EXAMPLE: If you are currently at the high
temperature period and want to switch to
the low temperature period, move the wheel
from red to blue. If you are currently at the
low temperature period and want to switch
to the high temperature period, move the
wheel from blue to red. The change will be
in effect until the next regularly scheduled
change.

Pushing the setting levers together will hold
a particular temperature until you change the
levers back. This method is recommended for a
long-term absence.
•Simply push both levers to the tempera-
ture you wish for system control. This
temperature will stay in effect until you
change the levers back.
