HOLD is displayed when the system is in Hold mode.

FILTER REMINDER

Your thermostat logs the amount of time your heating and cooling system has been running and gives you a reminder when it's time to replace your filter.

"F I L t " will be displayed every four seconds in the place of the time display when it is time to change you filter. To clear the reminder, press the Prog key. The display will return to normal in 10 seconds. Don't forget to change your filter!

ANTICIPATION

Your thermostat has a sophisticated control system designed to keep you comfortable while saving energy. Part of the control system is a feature called "anticipation", which anticipates the need to turn the system on or off before the temperature is actually at the setting.

As humans, we perceive temperature as a combination of heat in the air and heat radiated from the walls and surroundings. The thermostat also measures a combination of air and wall temperature. When heating, the air temperature rises faster than the wall temperature. The thermostat will turn the heat off briefly to prevent overheating the air while the wall temperature catches up. Your comfort is assured without overshooting the heat setting, which wastes energy.

In summer, the thermostat will periodically run the cooling system to circulate the air and remove humidity when the temperature is close, but not above the cool setting. You will be more comfortable at a higher cool setting, which saves energy.

Remember to allow some time for the thermostat to adapt to a new setting.
