Changing 2nd Stage Differential
See page 14 VT2007 “Setting 2nd Stage Differential” and the “2nd
Stage Differential Table” on page 15.
NOT for Heat Pumps
Note: The VT2207 is NOT designed to operate 2 Stage Heat Pump
Systems

Note! Unlike other programmable thermostats most Talking
Thermostat problems can be corrected over the phone.
Calibration
• Never calibrate thermostat until system has run through one
complete cycle. If calibration is required see page 2.
• HEAT Mode Complaints Calibration Solution
“Gets too hot” Raise the Indoor Temp 1 or 2 degrees
“Too cold when shuts off” Lower Indoor Temp 1 or 2 degrees
• COOL Mode Complaints Calibration Solution
“Gets too cold” Raise Indoor Temp 1 or 2 degrees.
“Too warm when shuts off” Lower Indoor Temp 1 or 2 degrees.
Improper or Erratic Operation
(no heat or cool, incorrect display screen characters, indoor temp
stuck, wrong indoor temp reading, etc.):
• Check for low battery voltage. Make sure at least 3.00 Volts per pair
• If a model VT1007 make sure jumper between RH & RC.
• Check that wiring is connected to the correct terminals per wiring
diagram.
• Processor possibly spiked by a static discharge. Do an FFr Reset.
Heat/Off/Cool Switch or Fan Switch stuck or hard to move
99% of time common from transformer has been applied to circuit
board. Most switch damage can be repaired. Call for a Warranty
Return Authorization Form.
Time Saving Tips
• All time delays can be by-passed for 10 minutes by pressing both the
NO and Light Keys for 10 seconds.
• VT2007 and VT2207 Only: To reduce the 8 min delay between 1st
and 2nd Stage, move the HEAT/COOL switch to OFF and then press
and hold YES & RUN together for 10 seconds. Note: To reset the
1-minute delay back to 8 minutes, do an FFr.
• To review time and temperature program settings or make just one
or two changes, press the NO key when “minutes” are flashing.
Program will advance to next time period (WAKE, DAY, EVE or
SLEEP).
