Early Start allows the thermostat to “learn” how long your furnace or air conditioner takes to reach the set
temperature. Simply program the desired times and desired temperatures into the schedule. The thermostat
will determine when to activate heating or cooling so that the desired temperature is attained at the desired
time.
Example: If you set the Wake time to 6 a.m. and the temperature to 70 °F (21 °C), the heat will come on
before the set time, so the temperature is 70 °F (21 °C) by the time you wake at 6 a.m.
Your thermostat has a feature that helps prevent damage to the compressor of your air conditioning. Because
damage can occur if the compressor is restarted too soon after shutdown, this feature forces the compressor
to wait 5 minutes before restarting. During the wait time, flashes on the screen. When the safe wait time
has elapsed, the icon stops flashing and the compressor turns on.
