Frequently asked questions (cont.).
"ljust installed the thermostat and the antenna sgm6ol goes on and off. What should I do?"
Aweak RFsignal between the thermostat and one or more receivers isthe cause.The further
away the thermostat and receiverare from each other, the weaker the signal. Distanceand/or
something shielding or blocking the RFsignal isthe likely cause.Distance is typically not a
problem. The most common cause for this is an object acting as a shield,such assheet metal.
Changing the positionof the receiver or thermostat or both maNbe required.In rare cases
where the receivercannot be repositioned or where it is completely enclosed ina sheet metal
control box, asmall section of sheet metal maNneed to be removed and,if necessary,replaced
with plasticor other nonmetallic material.
NOTE:Always seek out competent professional electrical and HVACcontractors when working
with your heating and cooling system and the electrical wiring in your home or commercial
property. Always consult with an HVACcontractor and/or original equipment manufacturer
before modifying any equipment.
"The display an the thermostat is blank. What happened?"
Ablank display indicates that your batteries are depleted. When the "Low BatterU"icon
comes on, there isonly 1or 2 weeks of battery life remaining.(Seethe "BATTERIES-
Installing/Changing" section of this manual for information on how to change the batteries.)
We recommend that when you change batteries, always usebatteries that you know are
fresh. Usefour (4)new high-quality AAbatteries. If you are using the wireless thermostat to
control a heating system, we recommend as a general practice putting fresh batteries in
at the start of the heating season.
"lf l am awag for an extended time such as a vacation, how do I set the thermostat somg
system does not run excessivelg?"
Youhave a couple choices.Thefirst isto pressthe HEAT/COOLbutton on the thermostat until
the display reads "OFF."(Particularly during the heating season,we do not recommend going
to the "OFF"mode.)Thesecond option isto put your thermostat in manual mode by pressing
the RUNbutton. You know that you are in the manual mode because none of the period icons,
Morning, Day,Eveningor Night will be displayed. The "Hold" icon located above the Set Point
temperature will bedisplayed. Next, adjust the set point temperature to minimize system
operation. Forexample, you could adjust to a Set Pointof 85° in cooling or 65° in heating,
keeping in mind what your temperature selection could affect, such as plants and animals that
stay inyour home while you are away. During the cooling season,consider humidity, aswell
asindoor temperature. When your air conditioner runs,it not only cools the air,it also removes
moisture, lowering humidity. Highhumidity can encourage mold growth.
