Programming The User Settings

Temperature Differential is factory set at .5 F (0.25 C) for both heating and cooling cycles.  The room tempera-
ture must change .5 F (0.25 C) from the set point temperature before the thermostat will initiate a call for heat or
A/C.  This should be appropriate for most applications.  However, if the system is cycling on and off too frequent-
ly, the setting can be adjusted as follows.
