Reset Operation
Note: When thermostat is reset, installer configuration menu settings and programming will reset to factory settings.
If a voltage spike or static discharge blanks out the display or causes erratic thermostat operation, you can reset the thermostat by removing the wires from terminals R and C (do not short them together) and removing batteries for 2 minutes. After resetting the thermostat, replace the wires and batteries. If the thermostat has been reset and still does not
function correctly contact your heating/cooling service person or place of purchase.
Note: Be sure to review the installer configuration menu settings.
To reset the programming, clock and configuration settings,
press ![]()
and
and the FAN button simultaneously. The thermostat should go blank and then all segments will be displayed momentarily.
