G.M.T. / B.S.T.
While in RUN mode the change from Greenwich Mean Time to British
Summer Time and back is achieved by pressing and holding the
+
button to add one hour in the Spring, or the - button to put the clock
back in the Autumn. After the first time this change has been made this
feature will only allow the clock to be changed in the correct direction.
Take care when making this change for the first time. If it is made in
the wrong direction the unit will have to be reset and any user-
settingsre-entered.
RESET
Should the unit be disconnected from the mains a small battery
symbol will blink on the left hand side of the display. After the second
midnight, i.e. between 24 and 48 hours, the display will go blank and
the unit will lose its settings. When mains power is restored it is
recommended that the unit be reset by lowering the front flap and
using a small non-metallic object, e.g. matchstick, press and release
the recessed reset button (marked R/S). This installs the factory pre-
set programme and sets the time to 12:00pm on Monday (MO). The
outputs will be OFF, (see Fig. 1). Note that the colon between the hours
and minutes is blinking. This means the unit is in RUN mode and will
switch the Central Heating and Hot Water on and off in accordance
with the programme. The colon only blinks in RUN mode.
