About Your New Thermostat . . .
Please read this manual thoroughly before operating or programming your thermostat. If you
have questions, contact us at the address shown on the back cover of this manual.
Your new White-Rodgers Digital Multi-stage/Heat Pump Thermostat uses the technology of a
solid-state microcomputer to provide precise time/temperature control. This thermostat offers
you the flexibility to design heating and cooling programs that fit your needs.

OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT
Beforeyoubeginprogrammingyournewther-
mostat,youshouldbefamiliarwithitsfeatures
and with the display and the location and
operationofthethermostat buttons.Theinfor-
mation in this section will help you become
familiar with your thermostat so that you can
easily program it.
Your thermostat consists of two parts: the
thermostat body and the subbase.
Press
SYSTEM
HEAT-OFF-COOL-AUTO
to turn thermostat OFF
before removing or attaching the ther-
mostat body. Equipment damage and/
or personal injury could occur.
CAUTION
!
The subbase is attached to the wall, but you
can remove the thermostat body for easy pro-
gramming. To remove the thermostat body
from the subbase, grasp the thermostat body
and gently pull it out from the bottom of the
subbase, then pivot up. To attach the thermo-
stat body, line up the four terminal pins on the
upper section of the thermostat back with the
matching connector on the subbase. Insert
these, then gently pivot the thermostat body
downtoconnecttheninepinconnectorsonthe
lower portion of the thermostat back. Gently
push until the snap connectors engage. DO
NOT FORCE OR PRY THE THERMOSTAT,
as this may damage the unit.

6
PARTS OF THE THERMOSTAT
The Back of the Thermostat Body
Turn the thermostat body over. On the back
are the 9 volt Energizer®alkaline battery and
the option switches.
1. The 9 volt Energizer®alkaline battery pro-
vides power to the thermostat when the
24 VACpowerisinterrupted(forexample,
whenyou remove the thermostat from the
wall for programming). A fresh battery will
maintain the stored program for approxi-
mately one week. If power loss is long
enough for the program to be lost, the
thermostat will automatically maintain a
factory preprogrammed heating tempera-
ture of 64°F and a cooling temperature of
82°F after power is restored. You must
reprogram the thermostat if this happens.
If the word BAT is flashing in the display
window, the battery is low and should be
replaced with a fresh 9 volt Energizer®
alkaline battery. The battery will provide
power for all functions except the display
lightandaudioprompting,whichworkonly
on 24 VAC power. If the word BAT is
displayedcontinuously(non-flashing),the
thermostat is not being supplied with
24 VAC power and is being powered by
the battery alone.

OPERATING FEATURES
Now that you are familiar with the thermostat
display and buttons, read the following infor-
mationto learn about the manyfeatures of the
thermostat.
•COMPUTED ENERGY MANAGEMENT
RECOVERY (EMR) - The thermostat's
microcomputer automatically calculates
thetimeitwilltaketochangethetempera-
ture to the next program setting. Then the
thermostatwillactivatetheheatingorcool-
ing system to change the temperature so
thatthedesiredtemperature isreachedat
the beginning of the next program period.
Asanexampleofthisfeature,assumethat
you have programmed your thermostat to
provide an overnight heating temperature
of 62°F, and that during the next program
period, beginning at 6:00 AM, you have
programmed a temperature of 70°F. The
thermostat will automatically activate the
heating system at about 5:00 AM, so that
the programmed 70°F temperature is
reached by about 6:00 AM.
•AUTOMATICCHANGEOVER—Youcan
set the thermostat to automatically switch
the system from heating to cooling as
needed.First,youmustmoveoptionswitch
#4 (located on the back of the thermostat
body) to the ON position, if it has not
already been done. To do this, turn off
24 VAC power to the thermostat. Then,
removethethermostatbodyfromthewall.
Check the position of switch #4 (the last
switch on the right). If it is ON (up), simply
put the thermostat back on the wall and
restore24VACpower.IftheswitchisOFF

Automatic Changeover (ON)
Switch #1 set at installation (DO NOT CHANGE)
Switch #2 set at installation (DO NOT CHANGE)
Switch #3 set at installation (DO NOT CHANGE)
Switch #4 ON
In the AUTO mode, the thermostat will not
allowthetemperatureseparationbetweenthe
highestheatsettingandthelowestcoolsetting
to be less that 1°F. For example, if the highest
heat setting is 76°F, the lowest cool setting
cannot be below 77°F (see diagram below).
(down), use a pencil or small screwdriver
tomovetheswitchtotheONposition(see
figureatright).Leavethebatteryoutofthe
thermostat for at least two minutes, to
allow the thermostat to reset itself. DO
NOT MOVE ANY OTHER OPTION
SWITCH, as it may affect thermostat op-
eration. Replace the battery, reprogram
the thermostat if necessary, put the ther-
mostat back on the wall, and restore
24 VAC power. To set the thermostat for
automaticchangeoverafterprogramming,
press
SYSTEM
HEAT-OFF-COOL-AUTO
to set the thermostat to
AUTO (the setpoint display is blank in the
AUTO mode). The system will now auto-
maticallyswitchbetweenheatingandcool-

PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT
PROGRAMMING
Now you are ready to program your thermo-
stat. This section will help you plan and pro-
gram your thermostat to meet your needs.
Formaximumcomfortandefficiency,keepthe
following guidelines in mind when planning
your program.
• Whenheating(cooling)yourbuilding,pro-
gram the temperatures to be cooler
(warmer) when the building is vacant or
during periods of low activity.
• During early morning hours, the need for
cooling is usually minimal.
PLANNING FOR YOUR NEEDS
This thermostat will store separate heating
and cooling programs for five-day (weekday)
and two-day (weekend) operation. Usually,
the five-day program is set to run Monday
throughFriday,andthetwo-dayprogramisset
to run Saturday and Sunday. However, you
may choose any five consecutive days to be
your weekday program days (such as Sunday
through Thursday; in this case, your weekend
program would run on Friday and Saturday).
First, you should answer the following ques-
tions to help you decide what your needs are.
If you are using the thermostat for a commer-
cial application (a store, office building, etc.),
answerquestions1 through4.If youareusing
