4. Press Cancel key to return to Home Screen without saving any changes.  
Dehumidification Control  
If the dehumidification control has been enabled, the communicating Comfort Control attempts to  
control to this dehumidification setpoint by turning on the air conditioner. In extremely high humidity  
conditions, Comfort Control keeps the air conditioner running for up to 3°F below your temperature  
setpoint. It does this when trying to achieve your desired humidity setpoint and balance that with  
your temperature setpoint.  
NOTE: If auto changeover is selected, the deadband can be no closer than 5 degrees with  
dehumidification enabled.  
Trane Proprietary Humidity Control  
When enabled, this feature will disable any blower off delays and disable continuous fan mode when  
the indoor humidity is above the dehumidification setpoint. This will help prevent coil condensation  
from being evaporated back into the air stream.

Frost Control  
TM  
If your ComfortLink II communicating system is equipped with an outdoor temperature sensor and  
a humidifier, you can use the frost control feature to control window condensation during the heating  
season. Frost control works by reducing humidification when conditions indicate that condensation  
or frost can occur.  
The degree of frost control is determined by the setting you choose between 0 and 10. Press More  
key until you come to the frost setting screen. The display shows FROST and a number from 0 to 10.  
When the factory setting (5) results in too much condensation or frost on the windows, lower the  
setting. When the air seems too dry, raise the setting.

Temperature Recovery  
Your Comfort Control comes with a feature called Adaptive Intelligent Recovery (AIR), which  
eliminates all guesswork when setting your schedule. How long does it take the furnace to warm  
your house in the morning before you get out of bed or how long does it take the air conditioner to  
cool your house in the afternoon before you return from work? No problem. The Comfort Control  
determines that for you.  
Simply set your program schedule to the time you want the house to be at your comfort temperature.  
The Comfort Control then turns on the heating or cooling at just the right time to have your home  
reach your scheduled temperature at your scheduled time.  
For example: you get out of bed at 6:00 AM and want the temperature to be 70°F (21.1°C). Set the  
0
Wake period for 6:00 AM and 70 F (21.1°C). The Comfort Control then turns on the heat before  
0
6:00 AM to raise the temperature to 70 F (21.1°C) by 6:00 AM.  
The Comfort Control alerts you that the heating or cooling system is coming on before a scheduled

It takes about a week for the Comfort Control to adjust to local weather, your schedule, the  
construction of your home and your heating and/or cooling system. Your Comfort Control  
learns from experience. Each day it checks how closely it reached the recovery time and  
adjusts the next day’s recovery start time accordingly.
