- Configure the temperature range and differential settings.
- Set the clock and date, ensuring the schedule aligns with your preferences.
- Test the system by running a heat or cool cycle to ensure proper operation.
- Save all settings to complete the initial setup process.
This step ensures the thermostat is operational and ready for programming. If issues arise, refer to the troubleshooting section or reset the system by removing and reinstalling the batteries.
Programming the Thermostat
Press and hold the Menu button to access the programming menu. Use the navigation buttons to set your preferred temperature points for different times of the day. Select the wake, leave, return, and sleep icons to create a daily schedule.
- Set the wake temperature to your preferred morning setting.
- Adjust the leave temperature to an energy-saving level.
- Set the return temperature to resume comfort before arriving home.
- Program the sleep temperature for overnight energy savings.
- Repeat the process for weekend days if needed.
- Use the override feature to temporarily adjust settings without changing the schedule.
- Save your settings to ensure the schedule runs automatically.
This step ensures your thermostat operates efficiently according to your daily routine. If desired, explore advanced options like temperature range limits and differential settings for further customization.
