About Your New Thermostat . . .  
Your new White-Rodgers Digital Thermostat uses the technology of a solid-state microcomputer  
to provide precise time/temperature control. This thermostat offers you the flexibility to design  
heating and cooling programs that fit your needs.  
Please read this manual thoroughly before operating or programming your thermostat. If you have  
questions, write to us at the address shown on the back cover of this manual.

pins on the lower section of the thermostat back  
with the matching connector on the subbase.  
Insert these, then gently pivot the thermostat  
body up to connect the six pin connectors on the  
upper portion of the thermostat back. Gently  
push until the snap connectors engage. DO  
NOT FORCE OR PRY THE THERMOSTAT, as  
this may damage the unit.  
Your thermostat consists of two parts: the ther-  
mostat body and the subbase.  
CAUTION  
!
Remove power from the system at the  
circuit breaker/fuse box before remov-  
ing or attaching the thermostat body.  
Equipment damage and/or personal in-  
jury could occur.

PARTS OF THE THERMOSTAT  
The Back of The Thermostat Body  
Turn the thermostat body over. On the back are  
the 3 “AA” Energizer® alkaline batteries.  
CAUTION  
!
The “AA” Energizer® alkaline batteries provide  
powertothethermostatwhenthe24 VACpower  
is interrupted (for example, when you remove  
the thermostat from the wall for programming).  
Fresh batteries will maintain the stored program  
for approximately a year. If power loss is long  
enough for the program to be lost, the thermo-  
stat will automatically return to the factory pro-  
grammed temperatures (64°F heating and 82°F  
cooling) when power is restored. You must  
reprogram the thermostat if this happens.

so that the programmed 70°F temperature

OPERATING FEATURES  
Now that you are familiar with the thermostat  
display and buttons, read the following informa-  
tion to learn about the many features of the  
thermostat.  
COMPUTED ENERGY MANAGEMENT  
RECOVERY (EMR) — The thermostat’s  
microcomputer can be set to automatically  
calculate the time it will take to change the  
temperature to the next program setting.  
Then the thermostat will activate the heat-  
ing or cooling system to change the tem-  
perature so that the desired temperature is  
reached at the beginning of the next pro-  
gram period. As an example of this feature,  
assume that you have programmed your  
thermostat to provide an overnight heating  
temperature of 62°F, and that during the  
The thermostat is configured at the factory  
so that this feature is disabled. If you wish to  
have this feature, refer to the installation  
instructions for this thermostat, or contact  
your local heating/cooling contractor.  
TWO HOUR TEMPERATURE OVER-  
RIDE — Press  
or  
until the dis-  
play shows the temperature you want. The  
thermostat will override current program-  
ming and keep the room temperature at the  
selected temperature for two hours. After  
two hours, the thermostat will automatically  
revert to the program.

Now you are ready to program your thermostat.  
This section will help you plan your thermostat’s  
program to meet your needs.

GRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT.  
5. What can cause the thermostat display  
to freeze or go blank?  
4. What happens if the electricity goes off  
or is manually shut off?  
A completely blank display may indicate  
that power has been lost to the thermostat  
and the backup battery is also dead. How-  
ever, if there is power to the thermostat and  
the display is blank or frozen, static dis-  
charge is probably the cause.  
If you have not installed 3 “AA” alkaline  
batteries, the display will go blank and the  
program will be lost in approximately one  
minute. When electricity is restored, the  
clock will reset itself to 12:00 PM (noon) and  
the thermostat will maintain a heating tem-  
perature of 64°F and a cooling temperature  
of 82°F until you reenter your program.  
Setpoint temperature will not be displayed.  
During periods of low humidity (especially  
during cold weather), you may feel or see a  
spark discharge when you touch the ther-  
mostat. This may cause the program to be  
lost or the thermostat to display incorrectly.  
To correct this, remove the thermostat from  
the wall and disconnect the battery. Wait  
about one minute, then reconnect the bat-
