Select the fan setting

Press the FAN button to select Auto or On.
In “Auto” mode (the most commonly used setting), the fan runs only when the heat-ing or cooling system is on. If set to “On,” the fan runs continuously.

Select the system setting

Note: The Auto setting may not appear, depending on how your thermostat was installed.
Press the SYSTEM button to select Heat, Cool or Off.

• Heat: Thermostat controls only the heating system.
• Cool: Thermostat controls only the cooling system.
• Off: Heating and cooling systems are off.
• Auto (RTH6450 only): Thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling depending on the indoor temperature.
  CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD. To prevent possible compressor damage, do not operate cooling system when outdoor temperature is below 50 °F (10 °C).

Save money by setting program schedules
It’s easy to program your system for maximum energy savings. You can program four time periods each day, with different settings for weekdays, Saturday and Sunday.

• Set to the time you awaken and the temperature you want during the morning, until you leave for the day.
• Set to the time you leave home and the temperature you want while you are away (usually an energy-saving level).
• Set to the time you return home and the temperature you want during the evening, until bedtime.
• Set to the time you go to bed and the temperature you want overnight (usually an energy-saving level).

Energy-saving settings for maximum cost savings
This thermostat is pre-set with energy-saving program settings. We recommend these settings, since they can reduce your heating/cooling expenses by as much as 33%. (See next page to adjust times and temperatures of each time period.)

To adjust program schedules (RTH6350 only)

1. Press SET CLOCK/DAY/SCHEDULE, then SET SCHEDULE.
2. Press to set your weekday Wake time (Mon–Fri), then press NEXT.
3. Pressto set the temperature for this time period, then press NEXT.
4. Set time and temperature for the next time period (Leave). Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each weekday time period.
5. Press NEXT to set weekend time periods (Sat-Sun), then press DONE to save & exit.

Program Schedule override (temporary)

Press to cancel temporary setting and resume program schedule.
Note: Make sure the thermostat is set to the system you want to control (heat or cool).

• Pressto immediately adjust the temperature. This will temporarily override the temperature setting for the current time period.
• The new temperature will be maintained only until the next programmed time period begins (see page 10). For example, if you want to turn up the heat early in the morning, it will automatically be lowered when you leave for the day.
  To cancel the temporary setting at any time, press RUN SCHEDULE.

Program Schedule override (permanent)

Press to cancel “Hold” setting and resume program schedule.
Note: Make sure the thermostat is set to the system you want to control (heat or cool).

• Press HOLD to permanently adjust the temperature. This will override the temperature settings for all time periods.
• The “Hold” feature turns off the program schedule and allows you to adjust the thermostat manually, as needed.
• Whatever temperature you set will be maintained 24 hours a day until you manually change it, or press RUN SCHEDULE to cancel “Hold” and resume the programmed schedule.

Auto Changeover (RTH6450 Only)

Use this feature in climates where both air conditioning and heating are used on the same day. When the system mode is in Auto, the thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling depending on the indoor temperature.
While in the Auto mode, if a schedule override takes place (temporarily or permanently) the thermostat will automatically adjust the cooling and heating settings to maintain a 3-degree separation between the cool and heat settings.
For example, if the heat temperature is raised to where it gets within 3-dgrees of the cool setting, the display will show an up arrow next to “cool” to show the thermostat is raising the cool setting up to maintain a 3-dgreee separation.
Press the Select Heat/Cool button to select between the heat and cool to view/adjust either mode.
If the cool temperature is lowered to where it gets close to the heat setting, an arrow next to heat will show the thermostat is lowering the heat setting down to maintain a 3-degree separation.

CAUTION: To avoid possible compressor damage, do not use Auto Changeover if the outside temperature drops below 50ºF (10ºC).

Built-in compressor protection

This feature helps prevent damage to the compressor in your air conditioning or heat pump system.
Damage can occur if the compressor is re-started too soon after shutdown. This feature forces the compressor to wait 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.

Smart Response® Technology: This feature allows the thermostat to “learn” how long the furnace and air conditioner take to reach programmed temperature settings, so the temperature is reached at the time you set. 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. The message “In Recovery” is displayed when the system is activated before a scheduled time period.

Battery replacement

Press down and pull to remove.

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.
