pins on the lower section of the thermostat back
with the matching connector on the subbase.
Insert these, then gently pivot the thermostat
body up to connect the six pin connectors on the
upper portion of the thermostat back. Gently
push until the snap connectors engage. DO
NOT FORCE OR PRY THE THERMOSTAT, as
this may damage the unit.
Your thermostat consists of two parts: the
thermostat body and the subbase.
CAUTION
!
Remove power from the system at the
circuit breaker/fuse box before remov-
ing or attaching the thermostat body.
Equipment damage and/or personal in-
jury could occur.

If the word BATTERY is flashing in the
display window, the batteries are low and
should be replaced with fresh “AA” Ener-
gizer® alkaline batteries.
PARTS OF THE THERMOSTAT
The Back of The Thermostat Body
Turn the thermostat body over. On the back are
the 3 “AA” Energizer® alkaline batteries and the
two option switch groups (A and B).
CAUTION
!
1. The “AA” Energizer® alkaline batteries pro-
vide power to the thermostat when the
24 VAC power is interrupted (for example,
when you remove the thermostat from the
wall for programming). Fresh batteries
will maintain the stored program for ap-
proximately a year. If power loss is long
enough for the program to be lost, the
thermostat will automatically return to the
factory programmed temperatures (64°F
heating and 82°F cooling) when power is
restored. You must reprogram the thermo-
stat if this happens.

next program period, beginning at 6:00 AM,
you have programmed a temperature of
70°F. The thermostat will automatically ac-
tivate the heating system at about 5:00 AM,
so that the programmed 70°F temperature
is reached by about 6:00 AM.
OPERATING FEATURES
Now that you are familiar with the thermostat
display and buttons, read the following informa-
tion to learn about the many features of the
thermostat.
• COMPUTED ENERGY MANAGEMENT
RECOVERY (EMR) — The thermostat’s
microcomputer can be set to automatically
calculate the time it will take to change the
temperature to the next program setting.
Then the thermostat will activate the heat-
ing or cooling system to change the tem-
perature so that the desired temperature is
reached at the beginning of the next pro-
gram period. As an example of this feature,
assume that you have programmed your
thermostat to provide an overnight heating
temperature of 62°F, and that during the
This feature is controlled by Group B option
switch #3. To enable the EMR function, first
you must move option switch #3 (located on
the back of the thermostat body) to the OFF
position, if it has not already been done. To
dothis, turnoff24VACpowertothethermo-
stat. Thenremovethethermostatbodyfrom
thewall.Checkthepositionofswitch#3(the
last switch on the right). If it is OFF (down),
simply put the thermostat back on the wall
and restore 24 VAC power. If the switch is
ON (up), remove the battery, then use a

switch to the OFF position (see figure be-
low). Leavethebatteryoutofthethermostat

option switch #1 should be OFF and option
switch #2 should be ON.) To enable auto-
matic changeover, you must move Group B
option switch #1 to the ON position and
switch #2 to the OFF position. Turn off 24
VAC power to the thermostat. Then remove
the thermostat body from the wall. Check
the position of Group B option switches #1
and #2 (the first two switches on the left). If
they are in the correct positions, simply put
the thermostat back on the wall and restore
24 VAC power. If the switches are not cor-
rectly positioned, remove the battery, then
use a pencil or small screwdriver to move
the switches to the correct positions (see
figure on next page). Leave the battery out
of the thermostat for at least two minutes,
to allow the thermostat to reset itself. Re-

to freeze or go blank?
A completely blank display may indicate
that power has been lost to the thermostat
and the backup battery is also dead. How-
ever, if there is power to the thermostat and
the display is blank or frozen, static dis-
charge is probably the cause.
If fresh “AA” Energizer® alkaline batteries
are installed, the program will be main-
tained for about one year with no 24 VAC
power present to the thermostat. See OP-
ERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT.
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.

In the AUTO mode, the highest heating
setpoint temperature you select must be at
least 1°F lower than the lowest cooling
setpoint temperature you select (for ex-
ample, if 70°F is your lowest selected cool-
ing temperature, you cannot select a heat-
ing temperature any higher than 68°F). If
such a conflict exists, you must set the
lowest cooling temperature higher in order
to set the heating temperature higher. To
set a lower cooling temperature, you must
select a lower heating temperature. See
