• Auto Recovery can be disabled by sliding the Recovery

switch on the circuit board to disable.

• Auto Recovery will not operate if Permanent Hold or

Temporary Hold is in operation.

• Auto Recovery can be canceled manually if HOLD is

pressed during the recovery process. If a recovery
process is canceled manually then the recovery process
will not start again until the next program period starts 
(an exception is that if time or program is changed then
the thermostat will check Auto Recovery conditions
immediately).

• Auto Recovery will be canceled and change to next 

period.

• Auto Recovery will be canceled and change to Home

Today mode if HOME TODAY is pressed during the 
recovery process.

Keyboard lock

The keyboard can be locked to prevent 
unauthorized changes to the thermostat.

To lock or unlock the keyboard, press and hold
hold/run key for 3 seconds. The keyboard is locked 
when LOCK appears on the display.

• When all keys are locked, LOCK will appear on the 

display for 1 second any time a key is pressed.

Backlighting

Your thermostat has an electroluminescent lamp that 
backlights the display for easy viewing in the dark. When
any key is pressed the display is illuminated.

The display will remain illuminated for 8 seconds after the
last key is pressed. This allows the light to stay on if you
need to operate several keys.

NOTE:

If the thermostat is in Low Battery warning 

condition, the backlight will not operate. Replace with 2
new AA alkaline batteries to restore the Backlight function.

Low Battery Warning

Your thermostat has a two-stage lower battery
warning system. When the batteries are first
detected to be weak, the first stage low battery
warning is indicated by BATT flashing on the
LCD display. Replace the batteries with 2 new
AA alkaline batteries.

When the batteries become too weak for normal operation,
the thermostat enters the second stage low battery warning
which shuts down the thermostat. In this condition, BATT
flashes alone on the display, and the thermostat will turn
your system off. Your system will remain off until the 
batteries are replaced.

NOTE:

The thermostat will still keep the current Set

Temperature and Filter run time in memory until new 
batteries are installed. After confirming that new batteries
have been inserted, the thermostat will return to normal
operation.

Error Mode

If the thermostat is unable to control your 
system due to an unexpected battery problem,
the thermostat will enter Error Mode. In this
condition, the thermostat flashes E1, E2, E3 
or E4 on the LCD display, and shuts off your
system. To correct this problem, replace the
batteries with 2 new AA alkaline batteries, even 
if you have recently replaced them. Press the reset 
button once with a small pin and hold for two seconds 
then reprogram.

If Error Mode returns, please contact us for further 
information.

Warning Mode

If the Malfunction Input (L) from the heat pump
is active, the thermostat flashes E5on the LCD
display.

Auto Cut Off

Your thermostat will automatically shut down in Heat mode
if the room temperature rises above 95ºF (35ºC). It will shut
down in Cool mode if the room temperature drops below
40ºF (4ºC).

Note that if your system has malfunctioned and no longer
responds to thermostat controls, the Auto Cut-Off will have
no effect.
