  The 24 Volt neutral connection to terminal C on the thermostat is not required if the batteries are replaced once a 

year with fresh “AA” Energizer

®

 alkaline batteries.

Heating System

1.  Move SYSTEM switch to 

HEAT

 position. If the heating system 

has a standing pilot, be sure to light it.

2. Press 

 to adjust thermostat setting above room tempera-

ture. The heating system should begin to operate.

3. Press 

 to adjust thermostat setting below room tempera-

ture. The heating system should stop operating.

To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the 
outdoor temperature is below 50°F, DO NOT operate 
the cooling system.

1.  Move SYSTEM switch to 

COOL

 position.

2. Press 

 to adjust thermostat setting below room tempera-

ture. The blower should come on immediately on high speed, 
followed by cold air circulation

3. Press 

 to adjust thermostat setting above room tempera-

ture. The cooling system should stop operating.
