CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION
If at any time during testing your system does not operate properly, contact a qualified service person.
Turn on the power to the system.
Heating System

1. Move the SYSTEM switch to the HEAT position. If the auxiliary heating system has a standing pilot, be sure to light it.
2. When the (FA)st heating cycle rate is selected in the configuration menu, (see configuration menu item 2), the thermostat will call for heat at 0.5ºC below the set point, and turn off at the set point. When the (SL)ow heating cycle rate is selected, the thermostat will call for heat at 1.5ºC below the set point, and turn off at set point. When the thermostat calls
   for heat, the display will show Heat On. If the Heat On display is flashing, the compressor lockout feature is operating in the heat pump mode. (Note: See Configuration menu item 8).

Cooling System
CAUTION!: To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the outdoor temperature is below 10ºC, DO NOT operate the cooling system.

1. Move the SYSTEM switch to the COOL position.
2. When the (FA)st cooling cycle rate is selected in the configuration menu, (see configuration menu item 2), the thermostat will call for cooling at 0.5ºC above the set point, and turn off the set point. When the (SL)ow cool cycle rate is selected, the thermostat will call for cooling at 1.5ºC above the set point, and turn off at the set point. When the thermostat
   calls for cooling, the display will show COOL On. If the COOL On display is flashing, the compressor lockout feature is enabled. (Note: See Configuration menu item 8). If all functions operate properly, the thermostat is installed correctly.

FAN OPTION SWITCH
Fan Operation
Move the system switch to the OFF position. If your system does not have a “G” (Fan) terminal connection, skip to the Heating System.

1. Move the fan switch to the ON position. The blower should begin to operate.
2. Move the fan switch to the AUTO position. The blower should stop immediately.

This thermostat is configured from the factory to energize the fan on a call for heat. If your system is an electric heat or heat pump that REQUIRES the thermostat to turn on the fan on a call for heat, place the fan option switch in the ELEC position. If your system does not require the thermostat to energize the fan on a call for heat such as fossil fuel (gas, oil, etc.), forced air system as well as hydraulic heating systems, place the fan option switch in the GAS position.

BATTERY OPERATION
The thermostat will operate from 2 size “AA” alkaline batteries or 24VAC power. When operated from batteries, connection to the “C” (common) or (neutral) terminal is not required.
NOTE: When operated from batteries (No “C” terminal connection), the LCD display backlight options are limited to option 1 (disabled) or option 2 (30-second illumination after each button press).

Replacing Batteries

If your thermostat was pre-installed, the batteries may be in place. If the battery icon on the display is flashing, it indicates that the batteries need to be replaced. When the thermostat is powered only by battery, the battery icon will flash for approximately 2 months before the batteries are expected to expire. Then the thermostat will cut power to the heating/cooling system.
Important: Replace the batteries when the low battery message flashes on the display. This will keep the thermostat operating properly. With two “AA” batteries installed, your thermostat will maintain time and continuously display the temperature during a loss of AC power.

1. Place the COOL/OFF/HEAT switch in the OFF position.
2. Put the FAN AUTO/ON switch in the AUTO position.
3. Gently open the front cover
4. Install two “AA” alkaline batteries in the battery compartment. Be sure to match the positive (+) ends of the batteries with the positive terminals marked in the battery compartment.
