To adjust the DAY time period settings follow the same procedure, as you did for 

WAKE time.  EVENING and SLEEP then follow and are adjusted the same way.  
When all four time periods are programmed, you’ll hear, 

“Program Completed”.

  

To change the Saturday and Sunday program settings, press the upper 

WEEKEND

 

button and follow the same procedure as you did for 

WEEKDAY

.    

If during programming set up you want to exit without accepting any changes you 

just made to the settings, just briefly press the 

RESET

 button.  

Now that we’ve gone through everything it’s a great idea to practice using the 

thermostat.  A good place to start is by actually changing the Programmable  

Operation settings to your own time and temperature preferences.  Don’t be afraid to 

make changes.  You can’t break it and any errors can easily be corrected!   

Time Saving Tip: 

 To accept the current time period settings without making 

changes, just press the 

NO

 

button when you hear, “

Press the UP or DOWN key to set 

minutes.  When finished, press RUN”

  

You’ll then advance to the next time period

.  

Pressing 

NO

 allows you to skip through time periods and is especially useful for 

reviewing your current settings or for quickly changing just a few settings.
