OPERATION

Before you begin using your thermostat, you should be familiar with its features and with the display and the location and operation of the thermostat buttons. Your thermostat consists of two parts: the thermostat cover and the base. To remove the

cover, gently pull it straight out from the base. To replace the 1 cover, line up the cover with the base and press gently until the cover snaps onto the base.

OPERATING FEATURES

Now that you are familiar with the thermostat buttons and display, read the following information to learn about the fea- tures of the thermostat.

SIMULTANEOUS HEATING/COOLING STORAGE — You can enter both your heating and cooling setpoints at the same time. There is no need to reset the thermostat at the beginning of each season.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR — If the 3 “AA” alkaline batteries are low and should be replaced, the display will be blank except for the word BATTERY. When the batteries are low, pressing any button will cause the display to operate for ten seconds. After ten seconds, the display will be blank except for the word BATTERY. When the duration of a low battery condition exceeds four weeks, the setpoint is altered by 10 degrees to signal that the batteries must be replaced.
