Ritetemp 6080 Programable thermostat 

Using a TOUCH SCREEN

Please take a moment to try out your touch screen itself.
To test a simple function on the touch screen, place your finger on the time display and give a short firm push. Try a “tap” of the finger or stylus. Your input must last long enough for the system to determine it is not an accidental ‘bump’.
Using the stylus is more comfortable for some users. Again allow the system enough time to recognize your inputs.
When you are comfortable with touch inputs, proceed.
Statement of use: The 6080 can be used with millivolt, 24VAC, single and 2 stage conventional systems, gas/oil/electric heat, 1 stage heat pumps, 2 stage heat pumps, zoned hot water (2 or 3 wire), zoned forced air, single and 2 stage cooling and hybrid systems.

Auto switching is normally limited in two ways. The COOL target cannot be any closer than 2F or 3F above the heat target, and the COOL programmed times must be the same as the HEAT programmed times. Unlike all other manufactures, the 6080 TRUE AUTO has no such temperature or time limitations (Patent pending).

REMOTE CONTROL

Note: The remote control cannot work unless the C wire is connected from your HVAC (see installation guide)
The 6080 comes with a 3 channel remote control with a range of as much as 50 feet (walls may reduce this range).
