PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DESCRIPTION
Your new White-Rodgers 5-Day/2-Day Digital Multi-stage Ther-
mostat uses the technology of a solid-state microcomputer to
provideprecisetime/temperaturecontrol.Thisthermostatoffers
you the flexibility to design heating and cooling programs that fit
your needs.
• Optional B and O terminals
• Preprogrammed temperature control
• LCD continuously displays set point, and alternately dis-
plays time and room temperature
• Temperature override until next program period
• Manual program override (HOLD temperature)
• °F/°C convertibility
Features:
• Separate 5-day (weekday) and 2-day (weekend) programming
with four separate time/temperature periods per program
• Simultaneous heat and cool program storage
• Optional C terminal (dual power option)
• Temperature range 45° to 90°F
• Two-stage heat/two-stage cool
• Armchair programming capability
• Optional Energy Management Recovery (EMR)
PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
Thisthermostatisintendedforusewitha24-voltsystem;donot
use this thermostat with a millivolt or line voltage system. If in
doubt about whether your wiring is millivolt, line, or low voltage,
have it inspected by a qualified heating and air conditioning
contractor or electrician.
!
To prevent electrical shock and/or equipment damage
disconnect electric power to system at main fuse or
circuit breaker box until installation is complete.
Do not exceed the specification ratings.
WARNING
!
Allwiringmustconformtolocalandnationalelectricalcodesand
ordinances.
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage.
Higher voltage will damage control and could cause
shock or fire hazard.
This control is a precision instrument, and should be handled
carefully. Roughhandlingordistortingcomponentscouldcause
the control to malfunction.
Do not short out terminals on gas valve or primary
control to test. Short or incorrect wiring will damage
thermostat and could cause personal injury and/or
property damage.

OPERATION
Before you begin programming your thermostat, you should be
familiarwithitsfeaturesandwiththedisplayandthelocationand
operation of the thermostat buttons. Your thermostat consists of
two parts: the thermostat cover and the base. To remove the
cover, gently pull it straight out from the base. To replace the
cover, line up the cover with the base and press gently until the
cover snaps onto the base.

If your thermostat’s display is frozen or displaying incorrectly,
CAUTION
the thermostat may have been affected by static discharge or
voltagevariations. Ifthishappens, presstheRESETbutton(see
fig. 2, page 2 for the location of the button). Pressing the RESET
buttonwillclearalluserprogramming. Thethermostatwillrevert
to factory preprogramming. You will need to reset the time and,
if desired, reprogram the thermostat to your selected program.
If pressing the RESET button does not correct the problem,
contact a qualified service technician.
!
If the outside temperature is below 50°F, disconnect
power to the cooling system before programming.
Energizing the air conditioner compressor during
cold weather may cause personal injury or property
damage.
1. Press SYSTEM button until COOL is displayed.
2. Follow the procedure for entering your heating program,
using your selected cooling times and temperatures.
For optimum performance, we recommend replacing batteries
once a year with fresh “AA” Energizer® alkaline batteries.
