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.

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.  
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.  
COMPUTED ENERGY MANAGEMENT  
RECOVERY (EMR) — At installation, the  
thermostat can be set to automatically cal-  
culate the time it will take to change the  
temperature to the next program setting.  
Then the thermostat will activate the heat-

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

PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT  
Now you are ready to program your thermostat.  
This section will help you plan your thermostat's  
program to meet your needs.  
PLANNING FOR YOUR NEEDS  
First, answer the following questionsto help you  
decide what your needs are. If you are using the  
thermostatforacommercialapplication(astore,

4. If you are using the thermostat in your home,  
answer questions 5 through 8.  
For maximum comfort and efficiency, keep the  
following guidelines in mind when planning your  
program.

to freeze or go blank?  
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.  
4. What happens if the electricity goes off  
or is manually shut off?  
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.

are installed, the program will be main-  
tained for about one year with no 24vAC  
power present to the thermostat. See OP-  
ERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT.  
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-  
tery. Thethermostatwillreverttothefactory
