Adjust the Temperature - Temporary Hold
Temporary hold allows a user to change the temperature for a period of time and then 
automatically return to the permanent temperature setting. This is especially useful 
in commercial buildings that are in use for short amounts of time. When selected, 
touching the up or down arrows changes the temperature for either 3, 6, 9 or 12 
hours. If the thermostat is using a schedule, ‘Schd’ provides a temporary hold until 
the next schedule event time. After the temporary hold time expires, the thermostat 
returns to normal operation. By default, the temporary hold feature is off.
Adjust the Temperature
To change the heating or cooling set temperature, touch the or arrows to 
select a preferred temperature setting. Press the home button to accept the setting 
or leave the screen untouched for several seconds. To toggle between changing 
the heating or cooling setting, press the H <> C key. This thermostat is capable of 
controlling the floor or air temperature.
Note: The temperature is not adjustable if the thermostat is in the Away scene, the 
Off mode or has been set to the “Secure” access level by the installer.
