This thermostat is designed to work on the following systems:
Temperature Range
This thermostat can be programmed between 45°F and 95°F (7°C and 35°C). However, it will display room temperatures from 30°F to 99°F (0°C and 37°C). “HI” will be displayed if the temperature is higher than 99°F (37°C), and “LO” will be displayed if the temperature is lower than 30°F (0°C). This thermostat will automatically cut off in Heat mode if the temperature rises above 95°F (35°C), and automatically cut off in Cool mode if the temperature drops below 45°F (7°C).
Compressor Protection
This thermostat provides a 3.5-minute delay after shutting off the cooling system before it can be restarted. This feature will prevent damage to your compressor caused by rapid cycling. It does not prevent a rapid compressor restart due to short power outages.
Battery Warning
Two fresh AA alkaline batteries should provide well over one year of service. However, when the batteries become drained, the Low Battery Indicator will flash on the display. When this message occurs, install new alkaline batteries. You have approximately 1 minute to change the batteries and keep the thermostat’s clock and program settings. Once the batteries have become too low to ensure proper operation, your system will be turned Off, and the display will be cleared except for flashing Low Battery Indicator on the LCD display
CAUTION: When ONLY the battery icon flashes on the display, the thermostat is shut down, and your system will no longer operate. In this condition, there is no temperature control of your dwelling.
NOTE:
What You Need
This thermostat includes two #8 slotted screws and two wall anchors for mounting. To install your thermostat, you should have the following tools and materials.
Remove Old Thermostat
CAUTION: Do not remove any wiring from the existing thermostat before reading the instructions carefully. Wires must be labeled prior to removal.
IMPORTANT! Turn off the power to the furnace at the main power panel or at the furnace.
Typical Home Thermostats
Wire Labeling
IMPORTANT! BEFORE DISCONNECTING ANY WIRES, APPLY THE SELF-ADHESIVE LABELS PROVIDED TO THE WIRE AS SHOWN IN TABLE A BELOW. (For example, attach the label marked W to the wire that goes to the W or H terminal on your existing thermostat.) IGNORE THE COLOR OF THE WIRES since these do not always comply with the standard.
Mount Wallplate and Thermostat
NOTE: 5-wire Systems
If your thermostat has one wire marked R or RH (2, 3, or 4-wire system), then leave the jumper wire between the RH and RC terminals on the wallplate. Otherwise, if you have separate RH and RC wires (5-wire system), then remove the jumper wire between the RH and RC terminals
Connect Wires and Mount Thermostat to Wallplate
Selector Switches
In order for this thermostat to control your system, the system type must be specified by the selector switches on the printed circuit board inside the thermostat. There is also a selector switch for your choice of Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature display.
Heating System Selector (HG – HE switch)
The factory position for this switch is in the “HG” position. Leave it in this position if you have a gas furnace or an oil burner. If you have an electric furnace, test to see whether the Heat and Fan come on as expected after installation. If the Fan operation is normal, leave it in the “HG” position. If the Fan does not come on within a minute of the thermostat calling for heat, change the switch position to “HE”. The system selector has no effect in the cooling mode.
NOTE: “HG” position is for gas and most other systems. The “HE” position is for certain electric systems having a fan relay.
System Selector (STANDARD – HEAT PUMP switch)
The factory position for this switch is in the STD position. Leave it in this position if you have ANY system that uses gas, oil, electric, or hot water heating. If you have a single-stage Heat Pump (no auxiliary or emergency heat source), then slide the switch to the HP position. Be sure the reversing valve wire is connected to the correct terminal for your heat pump (Y/O) or (W/B).
F° / C° selector (Fahrenheit / Celsius)
Your thermostat is set for F° mode from the factory. In order to change to C° mode, slide the switch to C° and press the reset button on the front of the thermostat with a paper clip.
Setting Day and Time
Example: Set the Thermostat to the current time of 2:16 pm on Saturday. Refer to the Steps below.
2 Hr. / 24 Hr. Time Format
Your thermostat is set from the factory in the normal 12 (AM / PM) time format. To change to 24-hour (military) time, press
PROGRAMMING
The following time and temperature settings are pre-programmed into the thermostat:

System Selector Switch
The System Selector switch on the front of the thermostat determines the operating mode of the thermostat. You may select COOL, OFF, or HEAT.
NOTE: Anytime you install or remove the thermostat from the wallplate, slide the System Selector to the OFF position to prevent the possibility of a rapid system On-Off.
Fan Switch
The Fan switch should normally be located in the AUTO position. The Fan will be turned on along with the normal operation of your system. In a normal gas or oil furnace, the Fan will be turned on by your furnace after its warm-up delay. For electric heat, air conditioning, and heat pump operation, the Fan will turn on with the system. To run the Fan on continuously, slide the Fan switch to the ON position.

SPAN Setting Mode
Your thermostat is set at the factory to cycle at 1°F (0.5°C) above and below the set temperature. (Span = 2) This setting has been designed to provide a comfortable room temperature under most all conditions. However, if you find your system cycling too fast or too slow, then the Span can be adjusted to modify the cycle time.
Backlighting (INDIGLO® Night-Light)
Your thermostat has an electroluminescent lamp that backlights the display for easy viewing in the dark. When any key is pressed or the System Switch is changed, the display is illuminated. The display will remain illuminated for 5 seconds after the last key is pressed. This allows the light to stay on if you need to operate several keys.
Note: If the thermostat is in Low Battery warning condition, the backlight will not operate. Replace with 2 new AA alkaline batteries to restore the Backlight function.
Low Battery Warning
Your thermostat has a two-stage low battery warning system. When the batteries are first detected to be weak, the first stage low battery warning is indicated by the battery symbol flashing on the LCD display. At your earliest convenience, you need to replace the batteries with 2 new
AA alkaline batteries
When the batteries become too weak for normal operation, the thermostat enters the second stage low battery warning which shuts down the thermostat. In this condition, “BATT” flashes alone on the display, and the thermostat will turn your system Off. Your system will remain shut off until the batteries are replaced.
Note: The thermostat will still keep the current time and your programs in memory until new batteries are installed. After confirming that new batteries have been inserted, the thermostat will return to normal operation.
Error Mode
If the thermostat is unable to control your system due to an unexpected battery problem, the thermostat will enter error Mode. In this condition, the thermostat flashes “Err” on the LCD display, and shuts off your system. To correct this problem, replace the batteries with 2 new AA alkaline batteries, even if you have recently replaced them. Next, use a paper clip to press the RESET button next to the keypad. You will need to reprogram your thermostat and confirm normal operation. If Error Mode returns, please call CTC Technical support at 1-800-676-7861 for further information.
Auto Cut Off
Your thermostat will automatically cut off in Heat mode if the room temperature rises above 95°F (35°C). It will cut off in Cool mode if the room temperature drops below 45°F (7°C). Note that if your system has malfunctioned and no longer responds to thermostat controls, the Auto Cut-Off will have no effect. Mechanical Heat Back-up This thermostat includes a bi-metal switch that will automatically turn on the Heat when the temperature reaches about 41° F (5° C).
