ongratulations on acquiring the VIP3000 “Talking Thermostat™” specifically

SECTION 1: GETTING TO KNOW THE VIP3000
The best way to get familiar with your new VIP3000 thermostat is to pick it up and
examine it! Knowing where everything is located will help you to easily follow its
voice instructions.
To get your bearings, hold the VIP3000 thermostat in both
hands. The thermostat’s
dimensions are approximately 7 inches across, 4 inches high and 1 inch deep. Feel
for the side with some rubber buttons, a display screen and a swing down panel
door. That’s the front side. Have that side face towards you. Feel along the
backside of the thermostat until you touch a flexible plastic ribbon. This ribbon
prevents the batteries from discharging during shipping. Remove this ribbon by
gently pulling until it is separate from the thermostat. The thermostat should now
have power from the batteries.
Return your hands to their original positions. Move your left thumb up along the left
side until it meets the top curved edge. Now move your thumb down about a half an
inch until you feel a small round button. This is the
HELP
button. Press it and you’ll
hear useful service information. If you don’t hear anything, check that the batteries
are properly installed and are not discharged. To replace batteries please refer to
“Low Battery Alert and Replacing Batteries” section, located on page 12 of this
instruction pamphlet.
