pins on the lower section of the thermostat back
with the matching connector on the subbase.
Insert these, then gently pivot the thermostat
body up to connect the six pin connectors on the
upper portion of the thermostat back. Gently
push until the snap connectors engage. DO
NOT FORCE OR PRY THE THERMOSTAT, as
this may damage the unit.
Your thermostat consists of two parts: the ther-
mostat body and the subbase.
CAUTION
!
Remove power from the system at the
circuit breaker/fuse box before remov-
ing or attaching the thermostat body.
Equipment damage and/or personal in-
jury could occur.

If the word BATTERY is flashing in the display
window, the batteries are low and should be
replaced with fresh “AA” Energizer® alkaline
batteries.
PARTS OF THE THERMOSTAT
The Back of The Thermostat Body
Turn the thermostat body over. On the back are
the 3 “AA” Energizer® alkaline batteries.
CAUTION
!
The “AA” Energizer® alkaline batteries provide
powertothethermostatwhenthe24 VACpower
is interrupted (for example, when you remove
the thermostat from the wall for programming).
Fresh batteries will maintain the stored program
for approximately a year. If power loss is long
enough for the program to be lost, the thermo-
stat will automatically return to the factory pro-
grammed temperatures (64°F heating and 82°F
cooling) when power is restored. You must
reprogram the thermostat if this happens.

you have programmed a temperature of
70°F. The thermostat will automatically ac-
tivate the heating system at about 5:00 AM,
so that the programmed 70°F temperature
is reached by about 6:00 AM.
OPERATING FEATURES
Now that you are familiar with the thermostat
display and buttons, read the following informa-
tion to learn about the many features of the
thermostat.
• COMPUTED ENERGY MANAGEMENT
RECOVERY (EMR) — The thermostat’s
microcomputer can be set to automatically
calculate the time it will take to change the
temperature to the next program setting.
Then the thermostat will activate the heat-
ing or cooling system to change the tem-
perature so that the desired temperature is
reached at the beginning of the next pro-
gram period. As an example of this feature,
assume that you have programmed your
thermostat to provide an overnight heating
temperature of 62°F, and that during the
The thermostat is configured at the factory
so that this feature is disabled. If you wish to
have this feature, refer to the installation
instructions for this thermostat, or contact
your local heating/cooling contractor.

RIDE — Press

is ideal for energy conservation when the
building is unoccupied for an extended pe-
riod of time.
• ADJUSTABLE HEATING AND COOLING

heating/cooling system is turning on and off
too often (short cycles) or not often enough
(long cycles), you may want to adjust the
anticipation setting.

5. What can cause the thermostat display
to freeze or go blank?
4. What happens if the electricity goes off
or is manually shut off?
A completely blank display may indicate
that power has been lost to the thermostat
and the backup battery is also dead. How-
ever, if there is power to the thermostat and
the display is blank or frozen, static dis-
charge is probably the cause.
If you have not installed 3 “AA” alkaline
batteries, the display will go blank and the
program will be lost in approximately one
minute. When electricity is restored, the
clock will reset itself to 12:00 PM (noon) and
the thermostat will maintain a heating tem-
perature of 64°F and a cooling temperature
of 82°F until you reenter your program.
Setpoint temperature will not be displayed.
During periods of low humidity (especially
during cold weather), you may feel or see a
spark discharge when you touch the ther-
mostat. This may cause the program to be
lost or the thermostat to display incorrectly.
To correct this, remove the thermostat from
the wall and disconnect the battery. Wait
about one minute, then reconnect the bat-
