2.4 Setting J2 Jumper
The jumper defines the fan operation when the fan is placed in auto-
matic mode.
2.5 Installing the Batteries
Pull out the battery cover.
Install the batteries as shown. Observe the polarity.
Reinstall the battery cover. You will hear a clicking sound.
After the batteries are installed, the thermostat performs a series of
tests for approximately 5 seconds.
Afterwards, the screen displays the actual
temperature. It is normal that the displayed
temperature be higher than the ambient
temperature if you are holding the thermo-
stat. The thermostat will display the ambient temperature once it is
installed on the wall. By default, the setpoint is 70°F (21°C).
2.6 Completing the Installation
Once the baseplate and the batteries are installed, mount the
thermostat on the baseplate.
Secure the thermostat using the locking screw and install the
faceplate.
Apply power back to the system.
3.1 System Operating Mode
Use the selector switch to place the system in Heating
mode (HEAT) or Cooling mode (COOL), or to set the
system off.
Note
: When you place the thermostat in Cooling mode, you might need to
wait up to five minutes before cooling can start. This is a safety feature for
the compressor.
will flash on the screen until cooling can start again.
