Normally, your thermostat operates as you programmed it. However, during the summer when the system is
in the
cycle mode,
it may not operate as you expect.
Before calling for service, read the following information.
While cycling is occurring, the word
saving
is displayed on the thermostat. When cycling is occurring,
the amount of time your cooling system can operate is controlled by a radio signal from Austin Energy. If
you notice the temperature in your home is higher than the setting you programmed into the thermostat,
check the thermostat display. The thermostat will display the word
saving
to indicate the equipment is being
cycled. You cannot control your cooling equipment when it is being cycled. When cycling stops, your
cooling equipment may not be immediately available. To prevent damage to your cooling equipment and to
allow Austin Energy to bring the equipment back on-line effectively, your thermostat automatically calculates
and initiates a time-delay before the cooling equipment comes on. You cannot override this time delay.
Replacing the thermostat batteries.
Important: Batteries must be sufficiently charged to maintain time and date
in the event of a power outage.
Although the thermostat has a “low battery” indicator, replace batteries every
two years to prevent the thermostat from losing its time/date information in the event of a momentary power
outage. The first set of batteries will be provided when the thermostat is installed. As the batteries run low, the
display shows
batlo
.
This low battery indication flashes for one or two months before the batteries run out
completely. Replace batteries as soon as possible after the indicator starts flashing. You will need two AA
alkaline batteries; non-alkaline batteries will not last, and can leak, causing damage to the thermostat or the
wall surface. The manufacturer and Austin Energy recommend using alkaline batteries.
To replace batteries.
Use a coin to carefully remove the battery door on the front of the unit. Press down on
the left ends of batteries to remove them and discard. Install fresh batteries. Make sure positive and negative
terminals are oriented correctly. Replace the battery door.
