The subbase fan switch controls fan  
operation as follows:  
Setting Subbase Switches  
(
If Applicable)  
ON—Fan operates continuously.  
AUTO—Fan operates with cooling equip-  
ment as controlled by the thermostat or  
with the heating equipment as controlled  
by the plenium fan switch. In electric  
heat, heat pump, and fan coil systems,  
the fan is 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 in 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. Stop  
switch lever in detent over the desired function  
indicator mark for proper circuit operation.

Inserting Timer Batteries  
Power is supplied to the timer by two AAA  
alkaline batteries (included.) Install batteries in  
thermostat as shown. See Fig. 2. One a year,

new AAA alkaline batteries. We recommend  
Energizer® batteries. The thermostat itself will  
operate without batteries, but will not operate

To insert a pin, push it straight into the  
selected notch on the program dial until it is  
completely seated .  
To remove a pin, press against the program  
dial and pull the pin straight out. Do not  
attempt to change a pin if it is engaged with  
the program index wheel.  
On heating/cooling systems, you must reset  
the pins when the seasons change. You will  
also probably want to change the lever

Temporarily changing the program  
You may temporarily raise or lower the  
temperature if you come home early, stay up  
late, plan to be out for the evening, leave on  
vacation, etc. You can make a temporary  
change one of two ways—moving the program  
index wheel or pushing the setting levers  
together.
