AC Power
The thermostat can be powered by 24
VAC power, or by batteries.
To wire the thermostat for AC power,
connect the common side of the
transformer to the “C” terminal as
shown at left.
Connect common
side of transformer
to “C” terminal
Install batteries in back of thermostat
(optional if AC powered).
Battery Power
The thermostat can be powered by
batteries alone or, if used with AC
power, can provide backup power.
During power interruptions the
batteries will save time/day settings
and power the display.
To Mount Thermostat
Align the 4 tabs on the wallplate with
corresponding slots on the back of the
thermostat, then push gently until the
thermostat snaps in place.

Built-in compressor protection (Setup Function 15)
This feature helps prevent damage to the
compressor.
Damage can occur if the compressor is re-
started too soon after shutdown.This feature
forces the compressor to wait for a few min-
utes before restarting.
During the wait time, the message Cool On
or Heat On will flash on the display.When
the safe wait time has elapsed, the message
stops flashing and the compressor turns on.

Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™(Setup Function 13)
Adaptive Intelligent Recovery eliminates guesswork when setting your schedule. It
allows the thermostat to “learn” how long your furnace and air conditioner take to
reach the temperature you want.
Just set your program schedule to the time you want the house to reach your
desired temperature.The thermostat then turns on the heating or cooling at just the
right time to reach your scheduled temperature at your scheduled time.
For example: Set the Wake time to 6 am, and the temperature to 70°.The heat will
come on before6 am, so the temperature is 70° by the time you wake at 6.

In case of difficulty
If you have difficulty with your thermostat, please try the suggestions below. Most
problems can be corrected quickly and easily.
Display is blank • Check circuit breaker and reset if necessary.
• Make sure heating & cooling power switches are on.
• Make sure equipment door is securely closed.
• If battery powered, make sure fresh AA alkaline batteries are installed.
Temperature
settings do not
change
Make sure heating and cooling temperatures are set to acceptable ranges:
• Heat: 40° to 90°F (4.5° to 32°C).
• Cool: 50° to 99°F (10° to 37°C).
Heating system
does not respond
(“Heat On”
appears on
screen)
• Check for 24 Vac at the equipment on the secondary side of the trans-
former between power and common. If voltage is not present, check the
heating equipment to find the cause of the problem.
• Check for 24 Vac between the heat terminal (Y) and the transformer
common. If 24 Vac is present, the thermostat is functional. Check the
heating equipment to find the cause of the problem.
• Check for loose or broken wires between the thermostat and the heating
equipment.
