Cooling Operation
Cooling is available when the Mode is set to Cool. The thermostat must be configured 
for heat/cool/fan operation in order for the cooling operation to available.
To change the cool temperature setting, push the
or
button to select a preferred
temperature setting for the current schedule time period. The Cool On symbol is shown 
on the display when the thermostat is cooling.
To change the temperatures for the other time periods, enter the Set Temp menu by 
pressing both the 
and
buttons together, press Menu to locate the Set Temp menu,
and press PRGM to enter the menu.
When operating a forced air cooling system, the thermostat uses a differential of +/- 
0.7°F (0.4°C).
This operation is also recommended for rooms with hardwood floors. Setting floor 
minimum and maximum temperatures is a way of enhancing the comfort of the living 
space while protecting floor coverings.
The thermostat supports two-stage 
heating. The second stage heat turns 
on when the air temperature falls 
below the Set Heat minus the W2 
Differential setting and the W2 Delay 
time expires. The second stage heat 
turns off when the room temperature 
reaches the Set Heat setting.
