Buttons and Navigation

Pressing a button will display additional information or

a new menu screen.

EXAMPLE: You may access the Menu screen by

pressing the “Menu” button on the home screen.

You may access the Settings Menu by pressing the

“Settings” button from the Menu screen.

EXAMPLE: In the following sections, button sequenc-

es will be shown with icons. For example, the se-

1) System Mode

To the right of the Menu button are 3

Mode buttons:

The “Auto” System Mode will

2) The second controls Fan Mode.

3) The third controls Air Cleaner Mode.

modes. For example, you

may wish to set your sys-

tem to “Heating” in winter

months so your cooling unit

does not run. Likewise, you may wish to set your system to “Cooling” in sum-

mer months so that your furnace does not run.

Each button has mode options to choose

from. The chosen mode is conveniently

displayed on its home screen button so

you can see the functions your system is

performing.

To completely turn off your system, select “Off”.

2) Fan Mode

In “Auto” Fan Mode the sys-

tem’s fan will run only when

the system runs.

The fan will run continuously

when the Fan Mode is set to

“On”.

The “Circulate” Fan Mode

will run the fan at least 10-

55 minutes out of every hour, decreasing hot/cool spots throughout your house.

Mode Selection

3) Air Cleaner Mode

Automatic means the air cleaner will run when the fan runs.

Quick Clean is a full power air cleaning cycle that increases the system fan speed setting (when not

actively heating or cooling) to 100% for three hours to achieve maximum clean air delivery rate.

Allergy Clean is a full power air cleaning cycle that increases the system fan speed setting (when not

actively heating or cooling) to 100% for 24 hours to achieve maximum clean air delivery rate.

7.6 Host Settings

This screen is used to control how the thermostat obtains network addresses and is needed when DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol) has

been turned off or is not available on the router. Otherwise, you may use DHCP to automatically obtain this information. This manual conﬁguration is

required if a static IP address is desired.

NOTE: No additional conﬁguration may be required in a non-broadcast network where IP addresses are assigned by DHCP. You may Connect to the

network without modifying the Host Settings.

1) Select the “Host Settings” button to access

the second screen of settings in this Ad-

vanced Network Settings menu.

Once a network has been joined, the thermostat will reconnect to it after signal

or power interruptions. When connected, a green dot will be shown.

To disconnect from this network, enter the “Connect to a Network” menu and

select “Disconnect”.

NOTE: When joining a different network, the current router must be discon-

nected in this menu before a new one may be selected. In addition if settings

are changed on the owner’s router, the network may need to be disconnected

and reconnected in this menu.

Repeat previous steps to connect to a different network.

7.9 Multi-System Environments

1) In a multi-system environment each thermostat can see and control the

others.

NOTE: The thermostats must have wireless enabled and be connected to

the same personal wireless network.

2) Each thermostat belongs to an Access Control Group—set to “Group A” by

default. Therefore, if two thermostats are connected to the same wireless

network and have matching Group IDs (shown as Group A to the right),

they will be able to communicate with each other.

Set the thermostats to the desired Group.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for

a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These

limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful in-

terference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used

in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to

radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference

will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged

to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

(1) Reorient or relocate the transceiver antenna. (2) Increase the separa-

tion between the equipment and transceiver. (3) Connect the equipment

into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the transceiver is

connected. (4) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-

cian for help.

This limited warranty is extended by the manufacturer to the original purchaser and to any suc-

ceeding owner of the real property to which the low voltage room comfort control is originally

afﬁxed and applies to products purchased and retained for use within the U.S.A. and Canada. The

limited warranty period begins when the low voltage room comfort control installation is com-

plete, veriﬁed by installer’s in voice or similar document. If installation completion and start-up

date cannot be veriﬁed by installer’s invoice or similar document, limited warranty coverage be-

gins six (6) months after the date of manufacture based on the low voltage room comfort control

serial number. If any part of your low voltage room comfort control fails because of a manufac-

turing defect within ﬁve (5) years from the date the limited warranty period begins, Warrantor

will furnish without charge a new low voltage room comfort control. Any local transportation,

related service labor, and diagnosis calls, are not included. This limited warranty does not apply

if the low voltage room comfort control was purchased direct (i.e. from internet websites or auc-

tions) on an uninstalled basis. Additionally, this limited warranty will not apply unless the low

voltage room comfort control is: (1) installed by a licensed or qualiﬁed HVAC technician, (2)

applied and installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations in its Installer’s

Guide, and (3) in compliance with all industry standards, national, state, and local codes.

This limited warranty does not cover your low voltage room comfort control if it is damaged

while in your possession; including, but not limited to (1) damage caused by unreasonable use

of the low voltage room comfort control, (2) damage from failure to properly maintain the low

voltage room comfort control as set forth in the Use and Care manual, (3) damage that is not con-

sidered a manufacturing defect, such as acts of God, malfunctions or failures resulting from ﬁre,

water, storms, lightning, earth quake, theft, riot, misuse, abuse, increased utility usage costs, (4)

performance problems due to improper selection/equipment match-up, installation, or applica-

tion, or (5) failures, defects, or damages (including, but not limited to, any failure or loss of data)

caused by any third party product, service, or system connected or used in

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry
