Auto Changeover is a feature used in cli-
mates where both air conditioning and heat-
ing are used on the same day. When the
system is set to Auto, the Comfort Control
automatically selects heating or cooling
depending on the indoor temperature.
Heat and cool settings must be at least 3
degrees apart. The Comfort Control will auto-
matically adjust settings to maintain this
3-degree separation (called “deadband”).
The 3-degree separation between heating
and cooling set temperatures is fixed, and
cannot be changed.
Press until screen
displays “Auto”
Note: The Auto system setting
may not appear, depending on
how your thermostat was installed.

This feature helps prevent damage to the
compressor in your air conditioning or heat
pump system.
Damage can occur if the compressor is
restarted too soon after shutdown. This fea-
ture forces the compressor to wait for a few
minutes before restarting.
During the wait time, the display will flash
the message Cool On (or Heat On if you have
a heat pump). When the safe wait time has
elapsed, the message stops flashing and the
compressor turns on.
Message flashes until safe restart
time has elapsed

Note: When Adaptive Intelligent Recovery is in effect, the thermostat will display “In
Recovery”.
Adaptive Intelligent Recovery eliminates guesswork when setting your schedule.
It allows the Comfort Control to “learn” how long your furnace and air conditioner
take to reach the temperature you want.
Just set your program schedule to the time you want the house to reach your desired
temperature. The Comfort Control then turns on the heating or cooling at just the right
time to reach your scheduled temperature at your scheduled time.
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.

Batteries are optional (to provide backup
power) if your Comfort Control was wired to
run on AC power when installed.
Install fresh batteries immediately when the
REPLACE BATTERY warning begins flashing. The
warning flashes about two months before the
batteries are depleted.
Even if the warning does not appear, you
should replace batteries once a year, or
before leaving home for more than a month.
If batteries are inserted within two minutes,
the time and day will not have to be reset.
All other settings are permanently stored in
memory, and do not require battery power.
