Programming Your Thermostat
When batteries are installed, your thermostat
can be programmed in your hand before it is
installed or after it is mounted on the wall. For
instructions on installing or replacing the
batteries, refer to the MaintainingYour Thermo-
stat section.
Refer to the personal Program Schedule on
page 3 to program your time and temperature
settings for various times of the day.
Four time periods are available during
weekdays — WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN, and
SLEEP. During weekends, only the WAKE and
SLEEP time periods are available. View these
periods individually on the display when you
press the Set Schedule key.
WAKE is the time the thermostat turns on
the heating/cooling equipment after an
energy saving period. When deciding
what time to set for your WAKE period,
include extra lead time, depending on
the outside temperature and your
furnace response time, to give the
furnace a head start to heat the house
before you get up. (This will be a higher
temperature during heating season, and
a lower temperature during cooling
season.)
LEAVE is the time period you can set for
an energy-saving temperature while you
are away at work or school. (This will be
a lower temperature during heating
season, and a higher temperature
during cooling season.)

69-0862—24
RETURN is the time the thermostat turns
on the heating/cooling equipment after
an energy saving period. When deciding
what time to set for your RETURN
period, include extra lead time, depend-
ing on the outside temperature and your
furnace response time, to give the
furnace a head start to heat the house
before you arrive home.
SLEEP is the time period you can set for
an energy-saving temperature while you
are sleeping. (For more comfortable
sleeping, some people choose not to
raise the cool temperature during the
night.)
You will set one schedule for weekdays and
another for weekends because your require-
ments will probably be different for each.
Fill in the times and temperatures you desire
for weekdays and weekends. If you decide not
to program the thermostat, it automatically
controls heating at 68°F (20°C), and cooling at
78°F (26°C), 24 hours a day. Also, you do not
need to enter a time and temperature program
for all periods if your schedule does not require
it. For example, a house that is occupied during
weekdays would only require programs for
WAKE and SLEEP.
When pressing the keys, use the ball of your
finger or a soft pencil eraser.
NOTE: Use of sharp fingernails or pencil
points can damage the keypad.
If you make an error at any time during
programming, just press the Run Program key,
and continue again at the last step.

WAKE and RETURN start times should include extra lead time, based on outside temperature
and furnace response time, to give your furnace a head start to heat the house.
The temperatures cannot be set higher than 88°F (31°C) or lower than 45°F (7°C).
NOTE: If you decide not to program the thermostat, it will automatically control heating at 68°F
(20°C), and cooling at 78°F (26°C), 24 hours a day.This guide can be used for program-
ming your new thermostat.

side) using a coin at the bottom. See
Maintaining Your Thermostat section.
SET CURRENT TIME/DAY
To set the time, press and release the Set
Clock/Day key once. Press the Time keys until
the current time shows.
To set the day, press and release the Set
Clock/Day key again. Press the Time keys until
the current day shows. Press the Run Program
key.
HEATING PROGRAM
With the system switch at HEAT, press and
release the Set Schedule key once.WAKE,
Mon-Fri, and SET appear on the display.

USING PROGRAMMING FEATURES
Temporarily Change temperature for
current period only—
Press Temp keys to set desired temperature.
The change cancels itself at the next scheduled
program change; to cancel sooner, press the
Run Program key.
Hold a temperature indefinitely—
Press HoldTemp key once.Press Temp
keys until display shows desired temperature.
Press Run Program key once to return to the
program.

Check CurrentTemperature Setting—Press
Run Program key once. If using TEMPORARY
CHANGE or HOLD features, pressing this key
cancels your change.
Check Programs—Press Set Schedule key
repeatedly to see each time and temperature.
Press Run Program key once to return to the
program.
Cancel a program—Press Set Schedule
key until the program to cancel shows. Pressing
the two Time keys together cancels the
program.
Permanently Change a program—Repeat
the steps in the Heating Program or Cooling
Program sections, as applicable.
Return to the normal program or the starting
program—Press Run Program key once.

SETTING FAN SWITCH
Fan switching positions are:
FAN AUTO: Normal setting for most
homes. A single-speed fan turns on
automatically with the air conditioner or
furnace. A two-speed fan usually runs
on high with the air conditioner and runs
on low with the furnace.
FAN ON: The fan runs continuously. Use
for improved air circulation during
special occasions or for more efficient
electronic air cleaning.
SETTING SYSTEM SWITCH
System switching positions control thermo-
stat operation as follows:
COOL: The thermostat controls the air
conditioning system.
OFF: Both the heating and air conditioning
systems are off.
HEAT: The thermostat controls the heating
system.

INSTALLING BATTERIES
IMPORTANT
Batteriesmustbeinstalledforprogramming
and operation of the thermostat and heat-
ing/cooling system.
1. Purchase two AA alkaline batteries;
nonalkaline batteries do not last as long, and
can leak, causing damage to the thermostat or
wall surface. We recommend Energizer®
batteries.
2 Make sure the thermostat is set in the
OFF position.
3. Use a coin to remove the battery door.
4. Install the fresh batteries, making sure the
positive and negative terminals are oriented
correctly.
5. Replace the battery door.
As the batteries are running low, the
bAt Lo
indicator flashes for one to two months before
the batteries run out completely.Replace the
batteries as soon as possible after the indicator
starts flashing.
M5781

69-0862—211
If the batteries are not replaced sometime
during the flashing
bAt Lo, the indicator
eventually stops flashing.
bAt Lo stays on
without flashing, indicating the thermostat and
heating/cooling system stopped working and
the batteries are almost completely dead.
After the batteries are completely dead, the
bAt Lo indicator disappears, leaving a com-
pletely blank display.
To remove, press down on left ends of
batteries. If the new batteries are installed
within 20 to 30 seconds of removing the old
ones, the thermostat does not have to be
reprogrammed. If the display is blank, the
batteries are dead or incorrectly installed, the
thermostat has to be reprogrammed. See
Programming Your Thermostat section for
instructions.
