minutes the thermostat should make a soft click 

sound and “Heat On” should appear on display. 

This sound indicates the thermostat is operating 

properly. If the thermostat does not click, try the 

reset operation listed below. If the thermostat does 

not click after being reset, contact your heating and 

cooling service person or place of purchase for a 

replacement. If the thermostat clicks, contact the 

furnace manufacturer or a service person to verify 

the heating system is operating correctly.

 TROUBLESHOOTING

(Troubleshooting continued on next page)

Resetting the Thermostat or Thermostat Settings

If the thermostat has good batteries, but has a blank display or does not respond to key 

presses, the thermostat should be reset by removing the batteries for

 2 

minutes. This reset 

will not change the menu settings or program. If the condition persists after reinstalling the 

batteries, replace the thermostat. 
To conveniently reset only the schedule and user settings back to factory defaults, press Menu 

and Backlight buttons at the same time and hold until the display goes blank and resets. 

Symptom 

Possible Cause

Corrective Action 

No Cool 

1.)

 System Switch not set to 

Cool

2.) 

Loose connection to 

thermostat or system

3.)

 Cooling System requires 

service or thermostat

Verify thermostat and system wires are securely 

attached.

Diagnostic: Set System Switch to Cool and lower 

setpoint below room temperature. Same procedures 

as diagnostic for “No Heat” condition except set the 

thermostat to Cool and lower the setpoint below the 

room temperature. There may be up to a five minute

Furnace (Air 

Conditioner) 

Cycles Too Fast or 

Slow (narrow or 

wide temperature 

swing) 

The location of the thermostat 

and/or the size of the Heating 

System may be influencing the 

cycle rate

Digital thermostats provide precise control and cycle 

faster than older mechanical models. The system 

turns on and off more frequently but runs for a shorter 

time. If you would like to increase cycle time, choose 

SLO for slow cycle in the Installer menu. (Reference 

menu items 

30 & 35

) If an acceptable cycle rate is not 

achieved, contact your HVAC service person.
