and the display is blank or frozen, static discharge is probably the cause.

During periods of low humidity (especially during cold weather), you may feel or see a spark discharge when you touch the ther- mostat. This may cause the program to be lost or the thermostat to display incorrectly. To correct this, remove the thermostat from the wall and disconnect the batteries. Wait about two minutes, then reconnect the bat- teries. The thermostat will revert to the fac- tory preset program until you reprogram the thermostat. If you don’t want to reprogram

the thermostat immediately, press SYSTEM

HEAT - OFF - COOL

until OFF is displayed and replace the ther-

mostat on the wall. Press

SYSTEM

until HEAT

HEAT - OFF - COOL

or COOL is displayed, then press RUN to

PRGM

begin the factory preset program. Or you may reprogram the thermostat, then re- place it on the wall.

To prevent further static discharge prob- lems, touch another object to release static build-up before touching the thermostat. See OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT.

7.The display is flashing BATTERY. What does this mean?
