HEAT Using the Heat Mode
Normal Heat Mode In normal heat mode, both the heat pump and the backup heat source are used to provide heat. If the thermostat de-
tects that the heat pump is not able to provide enough heat (as may be the case in very cold weather), then the backup heat source is activated.
Emergency Heat Mode In emergency heat mode, only the backup heat source provides heat the heat pump is disabled. The backup heat source is activated only when there is a heat demand.
Enabling Normal Heat Mode
Use the HEAT button to select normal heat mode, emer- gency heat mode, or to disable heat modes as desired. If the thermostat is in OFF or COOL mode, pressing the Heat
button enables Heat mode. This is indicated by HEAT in the SYSTEM box as shown in figure 4.

Heating Demand
The thermostat must be in either normal or emergency heat mode in order to properly control the heating equip- ment. In either heat mode, when the actual temperature is lower than the temperature setpoint (as shown in figure 7), the thermostat detects a heating demand and activates the heating equipment to satisfy the demand. Heating opera- tion is indicated by a flame icon in the SYSTEM box.

Heating Demand
When the actual temperature rises above the temperature setpoint, the flame icon will disappear. This indicates that
the heating demand has been satisfied and that the heat- ing equipment has been turned off.
Heat pump operation is locked out for 5 minutes after a de- mand has been satisfied. If another heat pump demand occurs during this 5minute interval, the flame icon will flash; however, the heat pump will not run until the 5min- ute delay has elapsed.
NOTE The heat pump is activated for at least 4 minutes if
no buttons are pressed during the demand interval. The
backup heat source is activated for at least 3 minutes if no
buttons are pressed during the demand interval.
If your system supports 3stage heating (as does the 51M37 thermostat), you may notice various heating levels being delivered during a demand.
If a small heat pump heating demand is present, "Lo" is dis- played in the SYSTEM box; if a large heat pump heating
demand is present, "Hi" is displayed (see figure 8).

HOLD Using Temperature Hold Modes
When HOLD is displayed at the HOME screen, the ther- mostat is in a temperature hold condition. This means that the temperature program data is ignored and the thermo- stat functions much like a nonprogrammable thermostat.
Adjusting Temperature Setpoint in Hold Mode
The temperature setpoint represents the desired tempera- ture of the space around the thermostat. The default tem- perature setpoint in Hold mode is 70F.
To adjust the setpoint, press the UP or DOWN () arrow
buttons (see figure 12); the existing setpoint is displayed to the right of the actual room temperature. Each button press adjusts the setpoint up or down by 1 degree.

PROG Thermostat Programming
The 51M37 thermostat can be programmed to perform a set of either heating or cooling events (but not a combination of heat and cool) for 5 consecutive days using a set of 4 unique events per day. The remaining 2 days can then be set for a different set of 4 unique events per day.
Both the consecutive days and the events/temperature are set by the homeowner.
To Change Consecutive Days...
To alter the 5 consecutive days, press and hold the PROG button for 5 seconds. The 5 consecutive day period
is then displayed (default is MOnday thru FRiday). To change to a different 5-consecutive days, use the Up/ Down arrow buttons. Any 5 consecutiveday span may be selected, for example, in figure 14, Saturday through Wednesday is defined as the 5day programming (Thurs- day and Friday would constitute the 2day programming). Press the PROG button when finished.

SETTINGS Balance Point
NOTE The balance point is only available with the out-
door sensor.
If the optional outdoor sensor (X2658) is connected to the thermostat, balance point adjustment is available. The bal- ance point feature allows the measured outdoor tempera-
ture to govern operation of the heat pump and backup heat source.
Use the SETTINGS button to access the balance point setting. If the outdoor sensor is attached to the thermostat, press the SETTINGS button three times to access the Bal- ance Point Settings screen (see figure 20).
Figure 20

Balance Point Setting
The balance point can be set at any temperature between 1F and 55F (17C to 13C). A balance point setting of zero disables the balance point function (in this case, the
thermostat behaves as if no outdoor sensor is attached). The default balance point setting is 55F.
To adjust the balance point up or down, press the Up/Down arrow buttons to the right of the display screen. The bal- ance point setting increases by 1F each time the Up but- ton is pressed and decreases by 1F each time the Down button is pressed.
After the desired balance point is reached, the HOME screen will reappear after about 15 seconds.
NOTE The balance point feature allows the outdoor tem-
perature to rise or fall 3F above or below the balance
point. This prevents excessive cycling of the equipment
when the outdoor temperature is near the balance point.
For example, if the balance point is 40F and the actual
outdoor temperature is 35F, the outdoor temperature
must rise to 43F before equipment adjustment occurs.
Conversely, if the balance point is 40F and the actual out-
door temperature is 45F, the outdoor temperature must
drop to 37F before equipment adjustment occurs.
Service Indicator
When abnormal equipment operation is detected, the SERVICE indicator will flash on the screen (see figure 21).
This indicates that the equipment requires service from a qualified service technician.

Thermostat RESET
Under some abnormal conditions, it may be necessary to
reset" the thermostat to its default condition. Such a RE- SET would delete all programming and settings and there- fore should only be used on rare occasions when the the thermostat fails to function as designd and/or as pro- grammed. Such an instance can occur as a result of a pow- er surge or similar electrical disturbance (e.g. after an elec- trical storm or power outage). The RESET button can be
used to recover from this situation.
CAUTION When the RESET button is pressed, ALL settings re- vert back to the defaults, including the default pro- gram (see tables 2 and 3).
The RESET button is an unlabeled, recessed button lo-
cated behind the door, on the righthand side of the ther- mostat, below the SETTINGS button (see figure 3). Use a paper clip or small pencil to press the RESET button; ALL thermostat settings will be reset to the defaults listed in the Default Thermostat Settings section.
Removing/Installing Thermostat
The thermostat hinges on tabs on the top of the subbase; no tool is needed to remove the thermostat from the sub- base. Pivot the bottom of the thermostat outward (releas- ing the snaps), then lift up to remove.
To replace it, first position the top tilted toward the wall bracket and align it until you feel the tabs and slots engage;
then, while the top is in place, pivot the bottom toward the wall until the thermostat snaps into place.

HOLD Using Temperature Hold Modes
When HOLD is displayed at the HOME screen, the ther- mostat is in a temperature hold condition. This means that the temperature program data is ignored and the thermo- stat functions much like a nonprogrammable thermostat.
Adjusting Temperature Setpoint in Hold Mode
The temperature setpoint represents the desired tempera- ture of the space around the thermostat. The default tem-
perature setpoint in Hold mode is 70F.
To adjust the setpoint, press the UP or DOWN () arrow buttons (see figure 9); the existing setpoint is displayed to
the right of the actual room temperature. Each button press adjusts the setpoint up or down by 1 degree.

PROG Thermostat Programming
The 51M35 thermostat can be programmed to perform a set of either heating or cooling events (but not a combination of heat and cool) for 5 consecutive days using a set of 4 unique events per day. The remaining 2 days can then be set for a different set of 4 unique events per day. Both the consecutive days and the events/temperature are set by the homeowner.
To Change Consecutive Days... To alter the 5 consecutive days, press and hold the PROG button for 5 seconds. The existing 5 consecutive day peri- od is then displayed (default is MOnday thru FRiday). To change to a different 5-consecutive days, use the Up/ Down arrow buttons. Any 5 consecutiveday span may be selected, for example, in figure 11, Saturday through Wednesday is defined as the 5day programming (Thurs- day and Friday would constitute the 2day programming). Press the PROG button when finished.

To Set Program Events and Temperatures... Figure 12 gives an example of how the two sets of pro- grams can be set for a normal workweek and weekend.
In the 5day bar graph, note how programs A and C reflect the desired warmth while the home IS occupied (72); B allows less heating while the home is NOT occupied; D re- flects a cool sleeping temperature. The 2day bar graph would support daylong occupancy and, because the first program begins later, a lessdemanding time schedule.

Thermostat RESET
Under some abnormal conditions, it may be necessary to reset" the thermostat to its default condition. Such a RE- SET would delete all programming and settings and there- fore should only be used on rare occasions when the the thermostat fails to function as designd and/or as pro- grammed. Such an instance can occur as a result of a pow- er surge or similar electrical disturbance (e.g. after an elec- trical storm or power outage). The RESET button can be used to recover from this situation.
CAUTION When the RESET button is pressed, ALL settings re- vert back to the defaults, including the default pro- gram (see tables 2 and 3).
The RESET button is an unlabeled, recessed button lo- cated behind the door on the righthand side of the thermo- stat, below the SETTINGS button (see figure 3). Use a pa- per clip or small pencil to press the RESET button; ALL thermostat settings will be reset to the defaults listed in the Default Thermostat Settings section.
Removing and Installing Thermostat
The thermostat hinges on tabs on the top of the subbase;
no tool is needed to remove the thermostat from the sub- base. Pivot the bottom of the thermostat outward (releas- ing the snaps), then lift up to remove.
To install it, first position the top tilted toward the wall brack- et and align it until you feel the tabs and slots engage; then, while the top is in place, pivot the bottom toward the wall
until the thermostat snaps into place.

HOLD Using Temperature Hold Modes
When HOLD is displayed at the HOME screen, the ther- mostat is in a temperature hold condition. This means that the temperature program data is ignored and the thermo- stat functions much like a nonprogrammable thermostat.
Adjusting Temperature Setpoint in Hold Mode
The temperature setpoint represents the desired tempera- ture of the space around the thermostat. The default tem-
perature setpoint in Hold mode is 70F.
To adjust the setpoint, press the UP or DOWN () arrow buttons (see figure 9); the existing setpoint is displayed to
the right of the actual room temperature. Each button press adjusts the setpoint up or down by 1 degree.

PROG Thermostat Programming
The 51M34 thermostat can be programmed to perform a set of either heating or cooling events (but not a combination of heat and cool) for 5 consecutive days using a set of 4 unique events per day. The remaining 2 days can then be set for a different set of 4 unique events per day. Both the consecutive days and the events/temperature are set by the homeowner.
To Change Consecutive Days... To alter the 5 consecutive days, press and hold the PROG button for 5 seconds. The existing 5 consecutive day peri- od is then displayed (default is MOnday thru FRiday). To change to a different 5-consecutive days, use the Up/ Down arrow buttons. Any 5 consecutiveday span may be selected, for example, in figure 11, Saturday through Wednesday is defined as the 5day programming (Thurs- day and Friday would constitute the 2day programming). Press the PROG button when finished.

To Set Program Events and Temperatures... Figure 12 gives an example of how the two sets of pro- grams can be set for a normal workweek and weekend.
In the 5day bar graph, note how programs A and C reflect the desired warmth while the home IS occupied (72); B allows less heating while the home is NOT occupied; D re- flects a cool sleeping temperature. The 2day bar graph would support daylong occupancy and, because the first program begins later, a lessdemanding time schedule.

Thermostat RESET
Under some abnormal conditions, it may be necessary to reset" the thermostat to its default condition. Such a RE- SET would delete all programming and settings and there- fore should only be used on rare occasions when the the thermostat fails to function as designd and/or as pro- grammed. Such an instance can occur as a result of a pow- er surge or similar electrical disturbance (e.g. after an elec- trical storm or power outage). The RESET button can be used to recover from this situation.
CAUTION When the RESET button is pressed, ALL settings re- vert back to the defaults, including the default pro- gram (see tables 2 and 3).
The RESET button is an unlabeled, recessed button lo- cated behind the door on the righthand side of the thermo- stat, below the SETTINGS button (see figure 3). Use a pa- per clip or small pencil to press the RESET button; ALL thermostat settings will be reset to the defaults listed in the Default Thermostat Settings section.
Removing/Installing Thermostat
The thermostat hinges on tabs on the top of the subbase;
no tool is needed to remove the thermostat from the sub- base. Pivot the bottom of the thermostat outward (releas- ing the snaps), then lift up to remove.
To replace it, first position the top tilted toward the wall bracket and align it until you feel the tabs and slots engage; then, while the top is in place, pivot the bottom toward the
wall until the thermostat snaps into place.

Heating operation is indicated by a flame icon in the lower
right corner. When the actual temperature rises above the
temperature setpoint, the flame icon will disappear. This
indicates that the heating demand has been satisfied and
that the heating equipment has been turned off.
If your system supports 2stage heating (as does the
51M39 thermostat), you may notice various heating levels
being delivered during a demand.
NOTE Heating equipment is activated for at least 3 min- utes if no buttons are pressed during the demand interval.
COOL Using the Cool Mode
Enabling and Disabling Cool Mode
Use the COOL button to enable or disable cool mode as

Cooling Demand
Set the thermostat to cool mode to control the cooling
equipment. Then, if the room temperature is higher than
the temperature setpoint, as shown in figure 7, the thermo-
stat detects a cooling demand and will activate the cooling
equipment to satisfy the demand.
Cooling operation is indicated by flashing snowflake"
icons on the right side of the display. When the actual tem-
perature drops below the temperature setpoint, the snow-
flake icons will disappear. This indicates that the cooling
demand has been satisfied and that the cooling equipment
has been turned off.
If your system supports 2stage cooling (as does the
51M39 thermostat), you may notice various cooling levels
being delivered during a demand. Also, if a small cooling
demand is present, "Lo" will be displayed in the SYSTEM
box. However, if a large cooling demand is present, "Hi" will
be displayed in the lower right corner (shown in figure 8).

NOTE If no buttons are pressed during a demand for
cooling, the equipment must operate for at least 4 minutes.
After a demand has been satisfied, cooling equipment op-
eration is locked out for 5 minutes. If another cooling de-
mand occurs during this 5minute interval, COOL" and the
snowflakes will flash; however, the cooling equipment will
not operate until the 5minute delay has elapsed.
AUTO Using the Autochangeover Mode
When in either heat mode or cool mode, autochangeover can be enabled or disabled by pressing the AUTO button. If enabled, AUTO appears at the lower right corner of the dis- play. The thermostat will then automatically change over from heating to cooling and vice versa, to keep the room
temperature in between the heating and cooling setpoints. Autochangeover can be used in either of the thermostat hold modes, or when the thermostat program is running. These modes are described later.
HOLD Using Temperature Hold Modes
When HOLD is displayed at the HOME screen, the ther-
mostat is in a temperature hold condition. This means that
the temperature program data is ignored and the thermo-
stat functions much like a nonprogrammable thermostat.
Adjusting Temperature Setpoint in Hold Mode
The temperature setpoint represents the desired tempera- ture of the space around the thermostat. The default heat setpoint in hold mode is 70F; the default cool setpoint in hold mode is 78F.

After the desired setpoint is reached, the HOME screen
will reappear after about 15 seconds.
Permanent Hold Mode At any time the program is running, from the HOME
screen, set a permanent hold (program override) by press-
ing the HOLD button (see figure 9). The thermostat now
functions much like a nonprogrammable thermostat. Use
the Up/Down arrow buttons to adjust the hold setpoint. To
return to the program, press the HOLD button again.
Temporary (2-Hour) Hold At any time the program is running, from the HOME
screen, set a temporary 2-hour hold by pressing the Up/
Down arrow buttons until the desired setpoint is displayed;
HOLD" flashes (see figure 10). This overrides the pro-
gram for 2 hours from the last button press, then returns to
the program.
While in Temporary Hold, press the HOLD button once to
switch to Permanent Hold (HOLD displays solid; PROG
not displayed); press the HOLD button again to return to

PROG Thermostat Programming
The 51M39 thermostat can be programmed to perform a set of both heating and cooling events for each day of the week. Each day can be programmed for 4 unique events per day, and each day can be different from any other day.
To Set Program Events and Temperatures Figure 11 gives an example of how up to 7 different pro- grams can be set. Programs A and C reflect the desired warmth while the home IS occupied (72); B allows less heating while the home is NOT occupied; D reflects a cool sleeping temperature.
NOTE This example shows heat setpoints; a similar pro-
gram may be set for cool setpoints.

This indicates that the equipment requires service from a
qualified service technician.
Thermostat RESET
Under some abnormal conditions, it may be necessary to
reset" the thermostat to its default condition. Such a RE-
SET would delete all programming and settings and there-
fore should only be used on rare occasions when the the
thermostat fails to function as designed and/or as pro-
grammed. Such an instance can occur as a result of a pow-
er surge or similar electrical disturbance (e.g. after an elec-
trical storm or power outage). The RESET button can be
used to recover from this situation.
CAUTION When the RESET button is pressed, ALL settings re- vert back to the defaults, including the default pro- gram (see tables 2 and 3).
The RESET button is an unlabeled, recessed button lo-
cated behind the door on the righthand side of the thermo-
stat, below the SETTINGS button (see figure 3). Use a pa-
per clip or small pencil to press the RESET button; ALL
thermostat settings will be reset to the defaults listed in the
Default Thermostat Settings section.

Removing and Installing Thermostat
The thermostat hinges on tabs on the top of the subbase;
no tool is needed to remove the thermostat from the sub-
base. Pivot the bottom of the thermostat outward (releas-
ing the snaps), then lift up to remove.
To install it, first position the top tilted toward the wall brack-
et and align it until you feel the tabs and slots engage; then,
while the top is in place, pivot the bottom toward the wall
until the thermostat snaps into place.

Smart Setback Recovery (via DIP switch #6) Smart Setback Recovery (SSR) affects the way the ther-
mostat responds to program events. If SSR is disabled, the
thermostat will react to a program event at the time the
event occurs. However, if SSR is enabled, the thermostat
will react to a program event before the event occurs such
that the desired temperature is reached at the time of the
event, not after.
Autochangeover Deadband Selection (via DIP switch #7) Autochangeover deadband can be set to 4 or 6 degrees.
When autochangeover is enabled (via the AUTO button),
the thermostat will automatically change over from heating
to cooling and vice versa, to keep the room temperature in
between the heating and cooling setpoints. The deadband
is the minimum difference between the heating and cooling
setpoints.

Heating Demand
The thermostat must be in either normal or emergency heat mode in order to properly control the heating equip- ment. In either heat mode, when the actual temperature is
lower than the temperature setpoint (as shown in figure 7), the thermostat detects a heating demand and activates the heating equipment to satisfy the demand. Heating opera- tion is indicated by a flame icon in bottom righthand corner of the display.

When the actual temperature rises above the temperature setpoint, the flame icon will disappear. This indicates that the heating demand has been satisfied and that the heat- ing equipment has been turned off.
Heat pump operation is locked out for 5 minutes after a de- mand has been satisfied. If another heat pump demand occurs during this 5minute interval, the flame icon will flash; however, the heat pump will not run until the 5min- ute delay has elapsed.
NOTE The heat pump is activated for at least 4 minutes if
no buttons are pressed during the demand interval. The
backup heat source is activated for at least 3 minutes if no
buttons are pressed during the demand interval.
If your system supports 3stage heating (as does the 51M42 thermostat), you may notice various heating levels being delivered during a demand.
If a small heat pump heating demand is present, "Lo" is dis- played in the SYSTEM box; if a large heat pump heating demand is present, "Hi" is displayed (see figure 8).

Cooling operation is indicated by flashing snowflake" icons. When the actual temperature drops below the tem- perature setpoint, the snowflake icons will disappear. This indicates that the cooling demand has been satisfied and that the cooling equipment has been turned off.
If your system supports 2stage cooling (as does the
51M42 thermostat), you may notice various cooling levels being delivered during a demand. Also, if a small cooling demand is present, "Lo" will be displayed in the SYSTEM box. However, if a large cooling demand is present, "Hi" will be displayed in the lower right side of the display (shown in figure 10).
NOTE If no buttons are pressed during a demand for
cooling, the equipment must operate for at least 4 minutes.
After a demand has been satisfied, cooling equipment op-
eration is locked out for 5 minutes. If another cooling de-
mand occurs during this 5minute interval, COOL" and the
snowflakes will flash; however, the cooling equipment will
not operate until the 5minute delay has elapsed.
AUTO Using the Autochangeover Mode
When in either heat mode or cool mode, autochangeover can be enabled or disabled by pressing the AUTO button. If enabled, AUTO appears at the lower right corner of the dis- play. The thermostat will then automatically change over from heating to cooling and vice versa, to keep the room temperature in between the heating and cooling setpoints.
Autochangeover can be used in either of the thermostat hold modes, or when the thermostat program is running. These modes are described later.
HOLD Using Temperature Hold Modes
When the HOLD button is displayed at the HOME screen, the thermostat is in a temperature hold condition. This
means that the temperature program data is ignored and the thermostat functions much like a nonprogrammable thermostat.
Adjusting Temperature Setpoint in Hold Mode The temperature setpoint represents the desired tempera- ture of the space around the thermostat. The default heat setpoint in hold mode is 70F; the default cool setpoint in hold mode is 78F.
To adjust the setpoint, press the UP or DOWN () arrow buttons (see figure 11); the existing setpoint is displayed to the right of the actual room temperature. Each button press adjusts the setpoint up or down by 1 degree.

After the filter has been changed or maintenance per- formed, reset the reminder by pressing the SETTINGS button for 4 seconds at the corresponding reminder set- tings screen. The screen will blink for a few moments to in- dicate that the timer has been reset.
SETTINGS Balance Point
NOTE The balance point is only available with the out-
door sensor.
When the outdoor sensor (X2658) is connected to the 51M42 thermostat, balance point adjustment is available. The balance point feature allows the measured outdoor temperature to govern operation of the heat pump and
backup heat source.
Press the SETTINGS button three times to access the Bal-
ance Point Settings screen (see figure 20).
Figure 20
Balance Point Setting
556p SETPOINT
The balance point can be set at any temperature between 1F and 55F (17C to 13C). A balance point setting of zero disables the balance point function (in this case, the thermostat behaves as if no outdoor sensor is attached). The default balance point setting is 55F.
To adjust the balance point up or down, press the Up/Down arrow buttons to the right of the display screen. The bal- ance point setting increases by 1F each time the Up but- ton is pressed and decreases by 1F each time the Down button is pressed. After the desired balance point setting is reached, the HOME screen will reappear after about 15
seconds.
NOTE The balance point feature allows the outdoor tem-
perature to rise or fall 3F above or below the balance
point. This prevents excessive cycling of the equipment
when the outdoor temperature is near the balance point.
For example, if the balance point is 40F and the actual
outdoor temperature is 35F, the outdoor temperature
must rise to 43F before equipment adjustment occurs.
Conversely, if the balance point is 40F and the actual out-
door temperature is 45F, the outdoor temperature must
drop to 37F before equipment adjustment occurs.
Service Indicator
When abnormal equipment operation is detected, the SERVICE indicator will flash on the screen (see figure 19 on page 7). This indicates that the equipment requires
service from a qualified service technician.
Thermostat RESET
Under some abnormal conditions, it may be necessary to reset" the thermostat to its default condition. Such a RE- SET would delete all programming and settings and there-
fore should only be used on rare occasions when the the thermostat fails to function as designed and/or as pro- grammed. Such an instance can occur as a result of a pow- er surge or similar electrical disturbance (e.g. after an elec- trical storm or power outage). The RESET button can be used to recover from this situation.
CAUTION When the RESET button is pressed, ALL settings re- vert back to the defaults, including the default pro- gram (see tables 2 and 3).
The RESET button is an unlabeled, recessed button lo- cated behind the door, on the righthand side of the ther- mostat, below the SETTINGS button (see figure 3). Use a
paper clip or small pencil to press the RESET button; ALL thermostat settings will be reset to the defaults listed in the Default Thermostat Settings section.
Removing/Installing Thermostat
The thermostat hinges on tabs on the top of the subbase;
no tool is needed to remove the thermostat from the sub- base. Pivot the bottom of the thermostat outward (releas- ing the snaps), then lift up to remove.
To replace it, first position the top tilted toward the wall bracket and align it until you feel the tabs and slots engage; then, while the top is in place, pivot the bottom toward the wall until the thermostat snaps into place.

Smart Setback Recovery (via DIP switch #6)
Smart Setback Recovery (SSR) affects the way the ther-
mostat responds to program events. If SSR is disabled, the
thermostat will react to a program event at the time the
event occurs. However, if SSR is enabled, the thermostat
will react to a program event before the event occurs such
that the desired temperature is reached at the time of the
event, not after.
Autochangeover Deadband Selection (via DIP switch #7)
Autochangeover deadband can be set to 4 or 6 degrees.
When autochangeover is enabled (via the AUTO button),
the thermostat will automatically change over from heating
to cooling and vice versa, to keep the room temperature in
between the heating and cooling setpoints. The deadband
is the minimum difference between the heating and cooling
setpoints.

If the thermostat is in cool mode, pressing the COOL but- ton disables cool mode (indicated by OFF, similar to figure 5).
Cooling Demand Set the thermostat to cool mode to control the cooling equipment. Then, if the room temperature is higher than
the temperature setpoint, as shown in figure 7, the thermo- stat detects a cooling demand and will activate the cooling equipment to satisfy the demand.
Cooling operation is indicated by flashing snowflake" icons in the display. When the actual temperature drops below the temperature setpoint, the snowflake icons will disappear. This indicates that the cooling demand has been satisfied and that the cooling equipment has been turned off.
NOTE If no buttons are pressed during a demand for cooling, the equipment must operate for at least 4 minutes. After a demand has been satisfied, cooling equipment op- eration is locked out for 5 minutes. If another cooling de- mand occurs during this 5minute interval, COOL" and the snowflakes will flash; however, the cooling equipment will not operate until the 5minute delay has elapsed.
NOTE The cooling setpoint cannot be lower than the heating setpoint. Also, the difference between the cooling and heating setpoint must be at least 4 degrees.
AUTO Using the Autochangeover Mode
When in either heat mode or cool mode, autochangeover can be enabled or disabled by pressing the AUTO button. If
enabled, AUTO appears at the lower right corner of the dis- play. The thermostat will then automatically change over from heating to cooling and vice versa, to keep the room temperature in between the heating and cooling setpoints. Autochangeover can be used in either of the thermostat hold modes, or when the thermostat program is running.
These modes are described later.

HOLD Using Temperature Hold Modes
When HOLD is displayed at the HOME screen, the ther- mostat is in a temperature hold condition. This means that the temperature program data is ignored and the thermo- stat functions much like a nonprogrammable thermostat.
Adjusting Temperature Setpoint in Hold Mode
The temperature setpoint represents the desired tempera- ture of the space around the thermostat. The default heat setpoint in hold mode is 70F; the default cool setpoint in hold mode is 78F.
To adjust the setpoint, press the UP or DOWN () arrow buttons (see figure 8); the existing setpoint is displayed to
the right of the actual room temperature. Each button press adjusts the setpoint up or down by 1 degree.

Indicators
After the filter has been changed or maintenance per- formed, reset the reminder by pressing the SETTINGS button for 4 seconds at the corresponding reminder set- tings screen. The screen will blink for a few moments to in- dicate that the timer has been reset.
Service Indicator
When abnormal equipment operation is detected, the SERVICE indicator will flash on the screen (see figure 16). This indicates that the equipment requires service from a qualified service technician.
Thermostat RESET
Under some abnormal conditions, it may be necessary to reset" the thermostat to its default condition. Such a RE- SET would delete all programming and settings and there- fore should only be used on rare occasions when the the thermostat fails to function as designed and/or as pro- grammed. Such an instance can occur as a result of a pow- er surge or similar electrical disturbance (e.g. after an elec- trical storm or power outage). The RESET button can be used to recover from this situation.
CAUTION When the RESET button is pressed, ALL settings re- vert back to the defaults, including the default pro- gram (see tables 2 and 3).
The RESET button is an unlabeled, recessed button lo- cated behind the door on the righthand side of the thermo- stat, below the SETTINGS button (see figure 3). Use a pa- per clip or small pencil to press the RESET button; ALL thermostat settings will be reset to the defaults listed in the Default Thermostat Settings section.
Removing/Installing Thermostat
The thermostat hinges on tabs on the top of the subbase; no tool is needed to remove the thermostat from the sub- base. Pivot the bottom of the thermostat outward (releas- ing the snaps), then lift up to remove.
To replace it, first position the top tilted toward the wall bracket and align it until you feel the tabs and slots engage;
then, while the top is in place, pivot the bottom toward the wall until the thermostat snaps into place.

Smart Setback Recovery (via DIP switch #6)
Smart Setback Recovery (SSR) affects the way the ther- mostat responds to program events. If SSR is disabled, the thermostat will react to a program event at the time the event occurs. However, if SSR is enabled, the thermostat will react to a program event before the event occurs such that the desired temperature is reached at the time of the event, not after.
Autochangeover Deadband Selection (via DIP switch #7)
Autochangeover deadband can be set to 4 or 6 degrees. When autochangeover is enabled (via the AUTO button), the thermostat will automatically change over from heating to cooling and vice versa, to keep the room temperature in between the heating and cooling setpoints. The deadband
is the minimum difference between the heating and cooling setpoints.
Fan Control
AUTO or ON modes, gas or electric heat compatible via DIP switches (also see Thermostat Output section).
