The Progressive Recovery feature allows the thermostat to activate the heating and cooling equipment PRIOR to a scheduled event in order to reach the desired temperature at the start of that scheduled event..

Example: If the WAKE time is 6 am, and the temperature is 70°, the heat will come on before 6 am, so the temperature is 70° by the time you wake at 6 am.
