difference between the setpoint and the room temperature. The
net effect of the staging program is that when the first stage is
capable of making temperature the second stage will delay
longer. When the thermostat calculates that first stage cannot
make temperature in a reasonable time, the second stage will
come on sooner. This built in function automatically optimizes
the use of additional stages of heat or cool.
To operate properly in the AUTO mode, the heat setpoint
temperature cannot be the same as or higher than the cool
setpoint temperature. The heat setpoint must be at least 1°
lower than the cool setpoint.
Automatic System Changeover
When the thermostat is in the AUTO mode, both theFlame and
Snowflake icons are displayed. The thermostat will call for heat
or cool depending on the room temperature. The setpoint
temperature displayed will be that of the last mode called. If the

Second Stage Time Delay
Your thermostat is designed to determine the optimum time to
activate the second stage. Simply raising the temperature in
heating or lowering it in cooling will not always force the
thermostat to bring the second stage on quickly. There is a time
delay from 0-30 minutes depending on the performance of the
first stage of the system.

LO BATT” has been displayed for 4 weeks, the thermostat
will raise the temperature 10 degrees above your setpoint in
COOL mode and will drop the temperature 10 degrees below
your setpoint in HEAT mode. If the “LO BATT” condition
continues, and when it reaches certain value, the thermostat
will turn off all the loads and “LO BATT” will flash.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Reset Operation
If a voltage spike or static discharge blanks out the display or causes erratic thermostat operation, you can reset the thermo-
stat by removing the wires from terminals R and C and removing batteries for 2 minutes. After resetting the thermostat,
replace the wires and batteries. If the thermostat has been reset and still does not function correctly, contact your heating/
cooling service person or place of purchase.
