The thermostat by default will be in Wi-Fi Connection Mode. To confirm that the thermostat is in Wi-Fi Connection Mode, verify that the radio bars on the thermostat are strobing as shown below.
Connect to the thermostat using a computer or mobile device.
On your computer or mobile device, scan for available networks. The thermostat should appear as APRILAIRE8810 followed by a unique identifier, corresponding to the last 6 digits of the MAC address. Connect to the thermostat you want to configure. If you are installing multiple thermostats, you can determine the MAC address of the specific thermostat you are trying to configure by removing the cover on the front of the thermostat to access the MAC address label.
Configure the thermostat to connect to the Wi-Fi network.
Open a web browser on your computer or mobile device. In the browser enter: http://192.168.1.99/index.html In the web browser interface select the network you want to connect the thermostat to, and enter the network’s security credentials.
Verify the thermostat is connected to the Wi-Fi network.
Once all the required information is entered in the web browser interface, the thermostat will connect to the Wi-Fi network you selected. After the thermostat is connected to the Wi-Fi network, the thermostat will display the radio bars based on the Wi-Fi signal strength. If the radio bars are not displaying the signal strength, refer to Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Connection on pages 15-16.
Note: If you are not using the thermostat with a home automation system, but are instead using an Aprilaire account to communicate with the thermostat, refer to Wi-Fi Thermostat App User Guide and then Start Up on my.aprilaire.com for instructions on connecting to Wi-Fi and registering to an Aprilaire account. For additional instructions on using the Aprilaire web and mobile Apps refer to Wi-Fi Thermostat App User Guide on my.aprilaire.com.

CIRC-30/HR: The air cleaner will run a minimum of 30 minutes every hour. The air cleaner will monitor the amount of time your heating and cooling system runs; if 30 minutes is not reached the air cleaner will automatically turn on. This will maximize the amount of air cleaning while minimizing energy consumption.
EVENT-3HR: When selected, the air cleaner will run continuously and then return to the most recent mode of AUTO, CIRC-30/HR, or ON-24/7. Use this option when the air needs cleaning; an example would be while vacuuming.
