  • Page 17: Operating your thermostat includes setting the system control mode. The system control has five modes of operation: OFF, HEAT, EMR HEAT, AUTO, and COOL. The mode can be selected by pressing the SYSTEM button to scroll through the different system modes. Depending on how your thermostat was configured, some system modes may not be available. OFF means heating and cooling systems are off. HEAT means only your heating system will operate. EMERGENCY operates a backup heat source. HEAT (EMR HEAT) is for heat pump systems only. AUTO allows the system to cycle between heating and cooling automatically based on your temperature set points. COOL means only your cooling system will operate.
  • Page 18: Setting the fan control mode has three modes of operation: AUTO, ON, and CIRC. The mode can be selected by pressing the FAN button to scroll through the different fan modes. Depending on how your thermostat was configured, some fan modes may not be available. In AUTO mode, the system fan will run only when your heating or cooling system is running. In ON mode, the system fan stays on continuously. In CIRC mode, the system fan will run periodically to help circulate air and provide more even temperature when the heating or cooling system is not active.
  • Page 19: Temperature adjustment options include temporary adjustment (override) and extended adjustment (hold). Temporary adjustment allows you to change the current set temperature, which will revert to the programmed temperature later. The override feature will display OVERRIDE during the adjustment period. Extended adjustment lets you override all programming by pressing the hold button. You can continue to adjust the temperature while in hold mode. Pressing the hold button again will resume the program schedule. Hold time can be limited to 24 hours by adjusting User Setting 6. If the thermostat is non-programmable, hold and override features are not available. Program event indicators show which part of the current program is active. In non-programmable or hold mode, program event and override indicators will not be displayed.
  • Page 20: System status and maintenance indicators provide messages or symbols in the display to inform you of the system's current function. The heating system is running. The cooling system is running. The auxiliary stage of heating is running (multistage systems only). The emergency heating system is running (heat pump systems only). Indicates that the system fan is running.
  • Page 21: System status and maintenance indicators provide important information about the device's performance. High limit indicates that the setpoint temperature has reached its upper limit maximum. Low limit indicates that the setpoint temperature has reached its lower limit maximum. Hi temp shows that the room temperature has risen above the display range, but cooling will still operate. Lo temp indicates that the room temperature has fallen below the display range, but heating will still operate. The battery symbol appears when batteries are installed and become low. When batteries are critically low, the battery symbol will flash, and a change/battery message will alternate in the display. Refer to section 6 for instructions on changing the batteries.
  • Page 22: System status and maintenance indicators provide important information about the thermostat's operation. The thermostat can be fully or partially locked. Refer to the section on locking and unlocking the thermostat for more details. A user-selectable service reminder for changing the filter has been triggered. Instructions for setting or resetting these reminders can be found in the user options section. Loss of AC power to the thermostat indicates a power issue. This status is only available if the thermostat is hardwired and configured for power monitoring. A flashing Wi-Fi icon signifies an interrupted Wi-Fi network connection. Typically, the connection will re-establish when the network is available. For persistent issues, consult the Wi-Fi setup guide for further instructions.
  • Page 23: Auto changeover mode allows the system to switch between heating and cooling based on room temperature. The thermostat maintains a forced separation between heating and cooling setpoints to prevent conflicting operations. If a setting violates the forced separation, the opposite mode adjusts accordingly. Select auto changeover mode by pressing the SYSTEM button until AUTO HEAT or AUTO COOL appears. Adaptive recovery mode attempts to reach the desired temperature at the scheduled time after a setback period. For example, if the heat is set to 62° at night and 70° is scheduled for 7:00 AM, the heating system may turn on early. This feature does not operate in HOLD mode or when the program is overridden. Emergency heat selection on a multistage heat pump system disables this feature.
  • Page 24: Circulating Fan Mode is selected by touching the FAN button until CIRC appears in the display. When in CIRC mode, the fan operates as required by the heating and cooling system. When heating or cooling is not active, the fan will run as needed to ensure a 35% minimum run time. This thermostat includes an automatic compressor protection delay to avoid potential damage to your system from short cycling. This feature activates a short delay after turning off the system compressor. For multistage heat pump systems, this thermostat provides cold weather compressor protection by locking out the compressor stage(s) of heating after a power outage greater than 60 minutes. During this lockout period, the thermostat will operate the auxiliary stage of heating.
  • Page 25: Locking and unlocking the thermostat. Your 3-digit lock code is set in the User Settings portion of this manual. To lock or unlock the thermostat, press and hold the PROG and HOLD buttons together for 5 seconds. LOCK will flash in the display. The screen will change displaying LOCK CODE 000. Press or to enter the first digit of your lock code and then press the NEXT button to advance to the next digit. After entering the third digit, press NEXT to advance to the next User Setting or RETURN to exit. If you entered a valid code, the thermostat will be locked or unlocked. When locked, the word LOCKED appears in the display. If an invalid code is entered, WRONG CODE will briefly appear in the display.

  • Page 27: Thermostat maintenance includes changing the batteries and cleaning the device. The thermostat may require two AA type alkaline batteries. A low battery symbol will appear when the batteries are low. When batteries are critically low, the battery symbol will flash, and a change/battery message will alternate in the display. To change the batteries, remove the thermostat body, replace old batteries, and ensure correct positioning of the (+) and (-) symbols. It is recommended to replace the thermostat batteries annually or if the thermostat will be unattended for an extended period. For cleaning, never spray liquid directly on the thermostat. Use a soft cloth with cleaning liquid to clean the screen. Only water or household glass cleaner should be used, avoiding abrasive cleansers.
