About your new thermostat
Early Start: This feature allows the heating or
cooling to turn on before the program start
time, so the temperature is reached at the time
you set. For example: Set the Wake time to 6
am, and the temperature to 70°. The heat will
come on before 6 am, so the temperature is
70° by the time you wake at 6. The next time
period is displayed when the system is acti-
vated before a scheduled time period.
