OWNER’S MANUAL

Welcome to the world of energy savings with your new Honeywell thermostat. The Honeywell  
name is your assurance of accurate control and reliable operation for years to come.  
This thermostat meets California Title 24 requirements—mandatory installation of automatic  
setback thermostats in new heating and cooling systems. During heating and cooling, this  
thermostat will automatically lower and raise the temperature in your home one or more times  
every 24 hours. This allows you to significantly lower your fuel costs, while awakening (or  
returning home) to a comfortable temperature.  
Read this manual to learn how to use your new thermostat.  
Recycling Notice  
This control contains mercury in a sealed tube. Do not place control in the trash at the end of  
its useful life.  
If this control is replacing a control that contains mercury in a sealed tube, do not place your  
old control in the trash.  
Contact your local waste management authority for instructions regarding recycling and the  
proper disposal of this control, or an old control containing mercury in a sealed tube.  
If you have questions, call Honeywell Inc. at 1-800-468-1502.

Setting Subbase Switches  
if applicable)  
The subbase fan switch controls fan  
operation as follows:  
(
ON—Fan operates continuously.  
AUTO—Fan operates with cooling equipment  
as contolled by the thermostat or with the  
heating equipment as controlled by the  
thermostat in heating and cooling.  
The subbase system switch controls system  
operation as follows:  
HEAT—Heating system is controlled by the  
thermostat. Cooling system is Off.  
COOL—Cooling system is controlled by the  
thermostat. Heating system is Off.  
OFF— Both the heating and cooling systems  
are Off. If the fan switch is at the AUTO  
position, the fan is also off.  
ON—In a cooling only application, only cooling  
operates. In a heating only application, only  
heating operates.  
To switch positions, use thumb or index  
finger to slide lever to desired position. Switch  
lever must stop in the detent over desired  
function indicator mark for proper circuit  
operation.

power to the timer if power is interrupted due to  
power failure. Install the batteries in the  
thermostat as shown in Fig. 2. Once a year or  
when batteries are dead, replace with two new  
AAA alkaline batteries. We recommend  
Energizer® batteries.

Lift thermostat flip-up cover and you’ll find  
the 24-hour program dial. The slots on the  
program dial (Fig. 4) are for the program pins  
which can be inserted at ten-minute intervals.  
Three red and three blue program pins are  
included with your thermostat. The red pins start  
the high-temperature period; the blue pins start  
the low-temperature period. A heating program  
has been preprogrammed. A red pin is inserted  
at 6:00 a.m. for high temperature (comfort  
period); a blue pin is inserted at 10:00 p.m. for  
low temperature (energy saving period). Two  
additional sets of pins are located in the program
