Fan operation switch
Read the following information before setting the fan option switch
(See figure 3). If you are unsure of your application, contact a qualified
service person.
This thermostat is configured from the factory to energize the fan on a
call for heat. If your system is an electric heat or heat pump that
REQUIRES the thermostat to turn on the fan on a call for heat, place
the fan option switch in the ELEC position. If your system does not
require the thermostat to energize the fan on a call for heat such as
fossil fuel (gas, oil, etc.), forced air system as well as hydraulic heating
systems, place the fan option switch in the GAS position.

12
BATTERY OPERATION
The thermostat will operate from 2 size “AA” alkaline batteries or
24VAC power. When operated from batteries, connection to the “C”
(common) or (neutral) terminal is not required.
NOTE: When operated from batteries only, the LCD display
backlight will be lighted less than 5 seconds after each button
pressed ,when backlight option are set to 2) or 3).
If the battery icon on the display is flashing, it indicates that the
batteries need to be replaced. When the thermostat is powered only by
battery, the battery icon will flash for approximately 2 months before
the batteries are expected to expire.
