• Manual program override (HOLD temperature)  
• User may select either 12- or 24-hour clock display  
°F/°C convertibility  
Features:  
• Battery powered (3 “AA” Energizer® alkaline batteries  
included).  
• Temperature range 45° to 90°F  
• Separate 5-day (weekday) and 2-day (weekend) programming  
• Simultaneous heat and cool program storage  
• Preprogrammed temperature control  
• Standard five terminals for single or two-transformer sys-  
tems  
• B and O terminals for single stage heat pumps or damper  
operation  
• Four separate time/temperature settings per 24-hour pe-  
riod  
PRECAUTIONS  
Thisthermostatisintendedforusewithalowvoltagesystem;do  
not use this thermostat with a line voltage system. If in doubt  
about whether your wiring is millivolt, line, or low voltage, have  
itinspectedbyaqualifiedheatingandairconditioningcontractor  
or electrician.  
CAUTION  
!
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment dam-  
age, disconnect electric power to system at main fuse  
or circuit breaker box until installation is complete.  
Do not exceed the specification ratings.  
WARNING  
!
Allwiringmustconformtolocalandnationalelectricalcodesand  
ordinances.  
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage.  
Higher voltage will damage control and could cause  
shock or fire hazard.  
This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled  
carefully. Roughhandlingordistortingcomponentscouldcause  
the control to malfunction.  
Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary  
control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will damage  
thermostat and could cause personal injury and/or  
property damage.

Cooling System  
CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION  
If at any time during testing your system does not operate  
properly, contact a qualified serviceperson.  
CAUTION  
!
This thermostat has a built-in short term (5-minute)  
time delay. This feature is activated after the compres-  
sor shuts down and the operator changes the setpoint  
within the 5-minute time period. During this 5-minute  
period, the word COOL will flash, indicating that the  
thermostat has locked out the compressor to allow  
head pressure to stabilize. This thermostat does not  
sense AC power loss, and therefore does not activate  
the short term compressor protection feature when  
power is restored.  
Fan Operation  
If your system does not have a G terminal connection, skip to  
Heating System.  
1. Turn on power to the system.  
2. Move fan switch to ON position. The blower should begin to  
operate.  
3. Move fan switch to AUTO position. The blower should stop  
immediately.

OPERATION  
Before you begin programming your thermostat, you should be  
familiarwithitsfeaturesandwiththedisplayandthelocationand  
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  
cover, line up the cover with the base and press gently until the  
cover snaps onto the base.

Now you are ready to program your thermostat. This section will  
help you plan your thermostat’s program to meet your needs.  
For maximum comfort and efficiency, keep the following guide-

Look at the factory preprogrammed times and temperatures  
shown below. If this program will suit your needs, simply press the  
RUN PRGM button to begin running the factory preset program.  
°F/°C CONVERTIBILITY — Press and hold SET TIME and

to display 12-hour time, which means that the clock will  
display AM and PM time (12:00 AM is midnight; 12:00 PM is  
noon). However, you may want to display a 24-hour clock  
(military-style time). The 24-hour clock display will show 1:00  
PM as 13:00, 2:00 PM as 14:00, and so on. To change to the  
24-hour clock display, press and hold SET TIME and RUN
