1)System Configuration - Selects SS (Single Stage) or HP (Heat Pump) operating mode. Default configuration is SS. For Heat Pump operation choose HP.

2)Select CS (Cool Savings™) - With Cool Savings™ enabled, the thermostat will make small adjustments to the Setpoint temperature during periods of high demand to reduce cooling system running time and save energy.

When the cooling system has been running for more than 20 minutes, humidity in the home will be lower and a higher setpoint temperature will feel comfortable. After 20 minutes of run time, the thermostat will start increasing the setpoint temperature in steps of less than one degree as the system continues to run. These adjustments will eventually cause the system to satisfy the thermostat and turn the system off to reduce the energy consumption. When the Cool Savings feature is active and making adjustments, the display will show “Save”. The amount of the adjustments to the setpoint temperature is dependent on the Cool Savings value that is set, 1 being the least adjustment and 6 being the most adjustment. With this feature set to OFF, no change will occur when the cooling system is continuously running during the periods of high demand. Periods of high demand will normally occur during the late afternoon and early evening on the hottest days of the summer.

3)Select Energy Management Recovery - Energy

Management Recovery (E) On enables the thermostat to start heating or cooling early to make the building temperature reach the program setpoint at the time you specify. Heating will start 5 minutes early for every 1° of temperature required to reach setpoint.

4 & 5) Select Cycle Rate Selection - The factory default setting for Single Stage Heat is Medium Cycle (ME). For Single Stage Cool the default setting is fast (FA). To change

cycle rate, press the and buttons.

The cycle rate differentials for different settings are:

6)Select Compressor Lockout CL OFF or ON - Selecting CL On will cause the thermostat to wait 5 minutes between cooling cycles. This is intended to help protect the compressor from short cycling. Some newer compressors already have a time delay built in and do not require this feature. Your compressor manufacturer can tell you if the
