*Notice for battery installations:
Batteries should be replaced at least once per year, but
depending on your settings may need to be replaced sooner.
Battery failure could leave property without controlled
heating or cooling. Reliance on battery power is not
recommended with prolonged absence from property.
After installation you can choose to set the
“energy profile” for your GEO
®
This energy profile will
determine the delay in GEO
®
responding to changes from
the App.
GEO
®
should only be used with lithium batteries.

Note if you wired per section 4.1 you
have a furnace. If you wired per section
4.2 you have a heat pump.
If furnace fan is not operating properly after
installation, change from furnace:gas to
furnace:electric in the settings menu.
3. The number of stages for heat/cool you have.
Most common is 1 heat/1 cool. Not sure? refer
to our online glossary to learn more.

Step 9: Custom settings & Radius
TM
set-up
Radius
TM
is a geofence that allows you to set a geographic “fenced” zone via your mobile device. Using
GPS, Radius
TM
(geofencing software) will recognize your approach into or out of the “fenced” area and
trigger your thermostat to adjust to either your “at home” comfort settings or “Away” settings which
provide more ecient energy use. With Radius
TM
, geofencing can be set on multiple devices/users and
to your custom needs and can work with or without a thermostat schedule to still save energy when
away from home.
Please note and be assured that your GPS location is NEVER reported or known by LUX Products.
TIP: IF YOU SET YOUR FENCE FURTHER FROM YOUR HOME THEN YOUR SYSTEM WILL HAVE MORE TIME TO MAKE YOUR HOME
COMFORTABLE BEFORE YOU GET HOME. IF YOU SET THE FENCE CLOSER TO HOME THEN YOU WILL SAVE MORE ENERGY BUT
SOMETIMES YOUR SYSTEM WILL NOT HAVE TIME TO RECOVER BEFORE YOU GET HOME.
IF YOU ARE USING BATTERY POWER, WE RECOMMEND SETTING A LARGER DISTANCE.
