2 “AA” alkaline batteries are included
in the thermostat to keep time during a
power outage. They are also required for
armchair programming (see below).
If “LOW BATTERY” is displayed in the
scrolling message area, the batteries
are low and should be replaced with
fresh batteries. For best results use
premium brand alkaline batteries, such
as Duracell
® or Energizer ® .
To replace batteries, set thermostat
SYSTEM touch key to Off, remove
thermostat from wall by grasping the
top and bottom of the thermostat and
pulling it straight away from the wall. The
base will remain on the wall. Install the
batteries in the rear along the top of the
thermostat. Reposition the thermostat
over the base plate and gently snap into
place.
Armchair Programming
The thermostat uses 24 Volt AC power
supplied by the system for normal op-
eration. However, with “AA” batteries
installed, the thermostat can be removed
from the wall for convenient program-
ming. Set thermostat
SYSTEM touch key
to Off before removing it from the wall.
System Power Loss
When thermostat loses 24 Volt AC power
supplied by your heating or cooling
system, the scrolling message area will
display “Power Fail”.
