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 Maintaining Your Thermostat
section.
Refer to the Program Schedule section to
program your time and temperature settings for
various times of the day.
Four time periods are available during
workdays: 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 tem-
perature 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.)
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, depending on the outside temper-

4 69-0862—4
ature 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
requirements 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 (20°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.

IMPORTANT
Batteries are required for operation
and programming. When inserting
batteries, set the System switch to Off.
Remove the battery door (on the
thermostat left side) using a coin at the
bottom. See Maintaining Your Ther-
mostat section.

Repeat the sequence for SLEEP.
Cooling Program
WIth System switch at Cool, follow the same
instructions as for the Heating Program.
After programming, adjust the Fan and System
switches, as desired. Press and release Run
Program key to start the program.

Setting Fan Switch
Fan switching positions are:
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.
On: 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 thermostat
operation:
Cool: Thermostat controls air conditioning
system.
Off: Both heating and air conditioning systems
are off.
Heat: Thermostat controls heating system.
Maintaining Your Thermostat
Installing Batteries
IMPORTANT
Batteries must be installed for pro-
gramming and operation of the ther-
mostat and heating/cooling system.
1. Purchase two AA alkaline batteries; non-
alkaline batteries do not last as long and
can leak, causing damage to the thermo-
stat or wall surface.
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 batteries are running low, bATLo indicator
flashes for one to two months before batteries
run out completely. Replace batteries as soon
as possible after indicator starts flashing.
After batteries are completely dead, bAtLo
indicator disappears, leaving the display
completely blank and the heating and/or cooling
system not operating.
