About your new thermostat
Use this feature in climates where both air conditioning and heating are used on the
same day. When the system mode is in Auto, the thermostat automatically selects heating
or cooling depending on the indoor temperature.
While in the Auto mode, if a schedule override takes place (temporarily or permanently)
the thermostat will automatically adjust the cooling and heating settings to maintain a
3-degree separation between the cool and heat settings.
For example, if the heat temperature is raised to where it gets within 3-dgrees of the cool
setting, the display will show an up arrow next to “cool” to show the thermostat is raising
the cool setting up to maintain a 3-dgreee separation.
The display will also show both “Auto” and either “Heat” or “Cool” for which temperature
setting you are currently adjusting. Press the system button to select between the heat
and cool to view/adjust either mode.

About your new thermostatAuto Changeover
If the cool temperature is lowered to where it gets close to the heat setting, an arrow next
to heat will show the thermostat is lowering the heat setting down to maintain a 3-degree
separation.
CAUTION: To avoid possible compressor damage, do not use Auto Changeover if the
outside temperature drops below 50°F (10°C).

Special features
Smart Response®Technology: This feature allows the thermostat to “learn” how long the furnace
and air conditioner take to reach programmed temperature settings, 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 message “Recovery”
is displayed when the system is activated before a scheduled time period.
Compressor Protection: This feature forces the compressor to wait a few minutes before restarting,
to prevent equipment damage. During the wait time, the message “Wait” is displayed on screen.
Auto Changeover: This feature is used in climates where both air conditioning and heating are
used on the same day. When the system is set to Auto, the thermostat automatically selects heating
or cooling depending on the indoor temperature. Heat and cool settings must be at least 3 degrees
apart. The thermostat will automatically adjust settings to maintain this 3-degree separation.
CAUTION: To avoid possible compressor damage, do not use Auto Changeover if the
outside temperature drops below 50°F (10°C).
