Volume Control
To adjust audio volume, first remove the front plate as described
in t
he previous, “Low Batteries” section. In the upper left corner of
the front plate’s circuit board, you'll find a quarter of an inch
square plastic cube with a small Phillips head screw in the middle
of it. To increase volume, turn the screw clockwise with a small
Phillips head screwdriver. To decrease volume, turn
counterclockwise.
The Three Alerts: Check Filter, Call For Service and UV Light
After the programmed period of time has elapsed, the
REPORT
button will remind
you when to clean or replace your air filter, when to call your service company for
routine maintenance, and, if you have a UV Light for indoor air quality, when it’s time
to replace the UV light bulb.
(Sighted users see “PRESS REPORT BUTTON” and
the specific alert co
ndition on the screen; and the case’s red alert light will flash).
The default settings are: for the “Check Filter” alert, 1 month; for the “Call for Service”
alert, 6 months; and for the “UV Light” alert, zero months, which means its non-active
and won
’t appear. If you wish to change these settings, refer to “FP”, “SP” or “UV” in
the table on page 15 of the
“VT3000 User’s Guide”,
or contact your service company
The Check Filter alert is removed once the
REPORT
button is pressed. After your
system has been serviced, the Call For Service alert is removed by holding down the
NO
button for 6 seconds. After the UV light bulb has been replaced, the UV Light
alert is removed by holding down the
YES
button for 20 seconds.
SECTION 6: MULTI- STAGE SYSTEMS
If your system has two or more stages of cooling or heating, the VIP3000 is default
set to wait eight minutes before bringing on the second stage of cooling or heating.
This delay is to allow sufficient time for the more energy efficient first stage to cool or
heat your home. If, after eight minutes, the thermostat senses additional cooling or
heating is required, the second stage will be activated.
(When second stage is
running, sighted users see “COOL HI” or “HEAT HI” appear on the display screen).
If you have a heat pump system with a two speed compressor, its third stage is your
Gas or Electric furnace. This third stage will also be delayed eight minutes after your
heat pump’s second stage cycles on. (
When third stage is running,
s
ighted users
will see “HEAT AUX” appear on the display screen).
