ADJUST FAN OPERATION SWITCH, AS  
REQUIRED  
The thermostat fan operation switch, labeled FUEL  
SWITCH (see Fig. 12) is factory-set in the “F” position.  
This is the correct setting for most systems. If this system is  
an electric heat system, set the switch to “E.” The “E”  
setting will allow the fan to turn on immediately with the  
heating or cooling in a system where the “G” terminal is  
connected.

ADJUST SYSTEM ON-LENGTH, AS REQUIRED  
The thermostat on-length is factory-set for a warm air,  
gas or oil heating system. When installing it on another type  
ofsystem, adjusttheon-lengthaccordinglybysettingscrews  
A and B on the back of the thermostat, using the heating  
system table in Fig. 12 as a guide. To minimize room  
temperature swings, optimize the on-length according to  
the type of system. Adjusting the screw “out one turn”  
means turning the screw approximately 360°, or about one  
complete turn.  
Use two AA alkaline batteries; nonalkaline batteries  
will not last as long. We recommend Energizer batteries.  
Make sure the thermostat is set to OFF position.  
Use a coin to remove battery door (see Fig. 13).  
Install the fresh batteries as shown, making sure positive  
and negative terminals are oriented correctly (see Fig. 14).  
Replace battery door.  
T8132 Models  
As the batteries are running low, a “bAt Lo” indicator  
will flash for one to two months before batteries run out  
completely. Replace the batteries as soon as possible after  
the indicator starts flashing. If the batteries are not replaced  
sometime during the flashing “bAt Lo” indicator, the indi-  
cator will eventually stop flashing. When the batteries are  
almost completely dead, “bAt Lo” will stay on without  
flashing to indicate the thermostat and heating/cooling  
system have stopped working.  
NOTE: These thermostats do not have a setting for steam/  
gravity air. Cycles would not be long enough for accu-  
rate temperature control.  
NOTE: For condensing furnaces, follow manufacturer  
instructions.  
If you want a longer on-length, readjust the screws as  
follows (refer to the heating system table in Fig. 12):  
The thermostat will not function after the batteries are  
completely dead, and the “bAt Lo” indicator will disappear,  
leaving a completely blank display.  
Press down on left ends of batteries to remove. If the  
new batteries are inserted within 20-30 seconds of remov-  
ing the old ones, the thermostat will not require reprogram-  
ming. However, if the display is blank, the batteries are  
dead or incorrectly installed and the thermostat requires  
reprogramming. See owner’s manual to reprogram.

INSTALL BATTERIES  
T8131 Models  
When the batteries are running low, the LED will display  
“bAtLo” only when 24 Vac is not present, indicated by an  
unlit LED.  
IMPORTANT: All T8132 models require batteries for  
programming and operation of the thermostat and  
heating/cooling system. Batteries are optional for  
T8131 models, but are recommended to retain pro-  
gram memory if ac power is lost.

indicator, replace the batteries once a year to pre-  
vent the thermostat from losing time and program  
due to lack of battery power.

If display is blank or says “bAt Lo,” install fresh batteries.  
T8131/T8132  
Check that switch on thermostat is set to HEAT.  
Check the system fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset if necessary.  
If temperature setting is higher than current temperature, and SYSTEM  
ON indicator is lit, see furnace manufacturer instructions.  
Cooling will not come on.  
T8131  
Check that green LED is lit.  
T8132  
If display is blank or says “bAt Lo,” install fresh batteries.  
If 2- or 4-wire installation, verify that R-Rc jumper is installed.  
T8131/T8132  
Check that switch on thermostat is set to COOL.  
Check the system fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset if necessary.  
The thermostat has a built-in time delay on cooling. Allow five to ten min-  
utes after changing the setting before the air conditioner starts.  
If temperature setting is lower than current temperature, and SYSTEM ON  
indicator is lit, move system switch from COOL to OFF for ten minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING • CROSS REFERENCE  
Cooling will not come on (Continued).  
After ten minutes, return switch to COOL position. If air conditioner comes  
on, compressor may have reached its high limit temperature protection and  
shut down. If air conditioner does not come on after the ten minutes and the  
SYSTEM ON indicator is lit, see air conditioner manufacturer instructions.  
SYSTEM ON indicator is lit, but  
no heat is coming from the registers.  
 Allow time for the furnace to heat up and the fan to come  
on before checking for heat at the register. Check to make sure system on-  
length is set correctly according to instructions on page 6.  
Furnace or air conditioner cycles  
too frequently.  
 Check system setting on back of thermostat.  
The system on-length  
is too short or too long.  
 Readjust according to instructions on page 6.  
The thermostat current setting does  
not match the display temperature.  
 Check that the wiring hole in the wall behind the wallplate has been plug-  
ged with insulation to prevent drafts that might adversely affect thermostat  
operation.  
Be aware that it is normal for the current setting and display temperature to  
differ occasionally.
