CONGRATULATIONS! Your decision to choose the IontSystem Control puts
you in a select group of homeowners who understand the value of precise comfort
Control and appreciate the simplicity of an easy--to--use, intuitive, Control.
Your new IontSystem Control offers high quality comfort technology. Please take

and schedule that makes sense for your lifestyle; then relax and enjoy the new
comfort of your home!
HOME SCREEN
Information Displayed
NOTE: When you connect your system to the Internet and register on the My
Iont(www.IonComfort.com) website, you can access nearly all of the consumer
features on the My Iontmobile app. See the WIRELESS section for more
information.
The information displayed on the Home Screen will appear when there has been no
interaction with the IontSystem Control for at least two minutes. The basic
information displayed on the Home Screen consists of the current date and time, the
room temperature (zone temperature if applicable), the outdoor temperature (if
available, contact your installing dealer for details), and current weather condition.
Connectivity status to the home Wi--Fi network and the IontServer will also be
displayed on the Home Screen. Note: You must have Wi--Fi enabled for the
indicator to appear.
If you have uploaded a photo to the Control (see Pg. 47), it will be displayed until
you touch the display. You will then be taken to the Home Screen.

Wi--FirConnectivity Status
A13258I
Connectivity status to the home Wi--Fi network and IontServer is displayed in the
top right hand corner of the Home Screen.
When the IontSystem Control is connected to the home Wi--Fi network and the
IontServer, the signal strength bars will be displayed in white as depicted in the
image above. Connection strength to the home Wi--Fi network will be indicated by
the number of solid white bars displayed. A red “X” over the bars indicates no
connection to the home Wi--Fi network.
Strong Connection Limited Connection Poor Connection No Connection

SPressing on the Connectivity Status bars from the Home Screen will
allow you to view the Remote Access Status screen.

A13260I
SNOTE:IftheIontSystem Control is not connected to the home net-
work, a red “X” will appear over the strength bars. If the IontSystem
Control is connected to the home Wi--Fi network but loses connection to
the IontServer, a triangle will appear over the strength bars as depicted
in the image below. Connection strength to the home Wi--Fi network
will continue to be displayed by the number of solid bars. If this prob-
lem persists, please contact 1--877--591--8908 for assistance.

Information Buttons
On the bottom of some screens will be an information icon. By pressing the
information icon, a text box will display to show what interactions are available on
that particular screen. To close the text box, touch the text box.
A14237I

5
MAIN SCREEN
The Main Screen is where most interactions will take place. Touch anywhere on the
Home Screen to arrive at the Main Screen. The most convenient way to interact
with your control is using the My Iontmobile app. See the WIRELESS section
for more details on connecting your product to the Internet.
System Mode
Once in the Main Screen,
STo access your system mode touch the MODE label located in the upper
right of the Control.
SThe drop--down menu will allow you to choose between AUTO, HEAT,
COOL, FAN ONLY and OFF, depending on the equipment installed in
your system.
SIf OFF is selected your system will not Control temperatures, humidity,
or fan.
SIf AUTO is selected, the IontSystem Control automatically switches
between heating and cooling to maintain your comfort during transition-
al seasons.
NOTE: AUTO mode is intended to switch between heating and cooling modes
based on temperature demand. A gradual auto transition is the energy--conscious
default that will satisfy the majority of customers. For IontZoning systems, some
customers might have significant and simultaneous heating and cooling demands in
different zones. To address this need, a special simultaneous heating and cooling
demand auto mode could be enabled by the Installer. When the feature is enabled
and AUTO mode is selected, the simultaneous heating and cooling demand auto
mode will alternate between heating and cooling, depending on demand, every half
hour. This may result in higher energy usage but provide the benefit of greater

6
comfort. Your installing contractor is able to enable this feature, if desired. (This
feature is only available with zoned systems).
SIf HEAT is selected then the IontSystem Control operates only the
heating system.
SIf COOL is selected then the IontSystem Control operates only the
cooling system.
SIf FAN ONLY is selected, then the IontSystem Control operates the
indoor fan but heating, cooling, humidification or dehumidification will
not take place.

ture you wish to change.

changes.
SWhen you have completed all of the settings, touch SAVE.
SIf you make a mistake you may touch CANCEL and begin again.
Adjust Temperature (Temporary Hold)
The IontSystem Control allows you to temporarily override your programmed
schedule by adjusting the indoor temperature at any time to meet your needs.
NOTE:TheIontSystem may seem slow to react to set point, activity and system
mode changes. This is normal, as the system will ramp up capacity and fan speeds
slowly to achieve the proper level of home conditioning, while avoiding wasting
energy, stressing home circuits and dimming lights with a ”hard start.”
