Set the right lever (red mark) to the tem-
perature you want for normal comfort periods.
NOTE: You may override the time program by
setting both the red and blue levers to the
same temperature set point.
For Cooling:
Set the left lever (blue mark) to the tempera-
ture you want for normal comfort periods.

Inserting Clock Batteries
Power is supplied to the clock by the 24 Vac
transformer, by two AAA alkaline batteries
(included), or by the heating or cooling control
circuit. Backup batteries may be installed to
supply power to the clock if power is inter-
rupted when using 24 Vac powering method.
Install batteries in thermostat as shown in
Fig. 2. Once a year or when batteries are dead,
replace with two new AAA alkaline batteries.
We recommend Energizer® batteries.

Setting The Clock
Lift thermostat flip-up cover and you’ll find
the 24-hour program dial, slotted in 10-minute
increments. Adjust the clock to the current time
by moving the minute hand carefully in clock-
wise direction. DO NOT reverse the
minute hand.
When time is correctly set, the Time
Indicator Arrow (see Fig. 3) will point to the
correct time and corresponding daytime (light)
or nighttime (dark) band of the program dial.
EXAMPLE: For 11 PM, the time indicator arrow
will point directly to dark band. For 11 AM,
the arrow will point to light band on dial.
Daylight Savings Time

the minute hand carefully in a clockwise
direction one hour. When Daylight Savings
Time ends, move the minute hand carefully in
a clockwise direction 23 hours. Do NOT
reverse the minute hand, or damage to timer
mechanism may occur.

Programming
You can program your thermostat to
automatically lower and raise the temperature
one or more times every 24 hours.
Before setting your program:
Lift thermostat flip-up cover and you'll find
the 24-hour program dial. The slots on the
program dial (Fig. 4) are for the program pins
that can be inserted at ten-minute intervals.
Three red and three blue program pins are
included with your thermostat. The red pins
start the high-temperature period; the blue pins
start the low-temperature period. A heating
program has been preprogrammed. A red pin
is inserted at 6:00 AM for high temperature
(comfort period); a blue pin is inserted at
10:00 PM for low temperature (energy saving
period). Two additional sets of pins are located
in the program pin storage area. You can set
up to six temperature changes with the pins
supplied. We recommend at least five hours
for each energy saving period.
