Built-in compressor protection
Your thermostat has a feature that helps prevent damage to the
compressor of your air conditioning system. Because damage can
occur if the compressor is restarted too soon after shutdown, this
feature forces the compressor to wait five minutes before restarting.
During the wait time, the message Cool On flashes on the screen.
When the safe wait time has elapsed, the message stops flashing
and the compressor turns on.
Battery replacement
Set the System switch to Off before removing the
batteries. Otherwise, the heating/cooling system could
remain activated even when batteries are removed.
Install two fresh AAA batteries when the low-battery icon flashes on
the screen. The icon appears for 60 days before the batteries are
depleted. Replace batteries once a year, or when you will be away for
more than a month.
The settings are stored in non-volatile (permanent) memory and are
thus saved when the thermostat is without batteries.
In case of difficulty
