O/B Terminal Switch Selection  
REMOVING OLD THERMOSTAT  
3
The O/B switch on this thermostat is factory set to “O” position.  
This will accommodate the majority of heat pump applications,  
which require the changeover relay to be energized in COOL. If  
the thermostat you are replacing or the heat pump being installed  
with this thermostat requires a “B” terminal, to energize the  
changeover relay in HEAT, the O/B switch must be moved to the  
“B” position.  
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE  
ATTENTION! This product does not contain mercury. How-  
ever, this product may replace a unit which contains mercury.  
Do not open mercury cells. If a cell becomes damaged, do not  
touch any spilled mercury. Wearing non-absorbent gloves, take  
up the spilled mercury and place into a container which can be  
sealed. If a cell becomes damaged, the unit should be discarded.  
Mercury must not be discarded in household trash. When the unit  
this product is replacing is to be discarded, place in a suitable  
container and return to White-Rodgers at 2895 Harrison Street,  
Batesville, AR 72501-2117 for proper disposal.  
CAUTION  
Take care when securing and routing wires so they do  
not short to adjacent terminals or rear of thermostat.  
Personal injury and/or property damage may occur.

MOUNTING AND WIRING  
Attach Thermostat Base to Wall  
4
1. Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Gently pull  
the cover straight off the base. Forcing or prying on the  
thermostat will cause damage to the unit.  
WARNING  
!
2. Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using appro-  
priate wiring schematic (see figs. 2 through 4).  
Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage.  
Higher voltage will damage control and could cause  
shock or fire hazard.  
3. Placebaseoverholeinwallandmarkmountingholelocations  
on wall using base as a template.  
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.  
4. Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.  
5. Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 1, using two  
mounting screws. Place a level against bottom of base, adjust  
until level, and then tighten screws. (Leveling is for appear-  
ance only and will not affect thermostat operation.) If you are  
using existing mounting holes, or if holes drilled are too large  
and do not allow you to tighten base snugly, use plastic screw  
anchors to secure subbase.  
Thermostat installation and all components of the sys-  
tem shall conform to Class II circuits per NEC code.  
Electric/Gas Jumper (Fan Option)  
Ifyouremergencyorauxiliarysystemwillenergizetheblower,then  
jumper W906 on the thermostat base must be cut (see fig. 1).  
6. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire-resistant  
material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts from  
affecting thermostat operation.  
If your emergency or auxiliary heat system requires that the  
thermostat energize the fan circuit, do not cut jumper W906.  
Battery Location  
Thisthermostatdoesnotrequirebatteriestooperate.The2AAA”  
alkaline batteries are for the thermostat to remember the pro-  
gramming if AC voltage is lost. If the display shows BATT when  
AC power is not present, the batteries are low and should be  
replaced with fresh “AAA” Energizer® alkaline batteries. To re-  
place the batteries, install the batteries along the top of the base  
(see fig. 1). The batteries must be installed with the positive (+)  
ends to the right.  
If you are unsure of your application, contact a qualified service  
person.  
°F or °C Selection  
The factory default setting for temperature display is Fahrenheit.  
If you want the temperature in Celsius, clip jumper W904.  
Fast or Slow Cycle Selection  
The factory default setting is fast cycle, which cycles 1st stage at  
approximately 1.2°F and 2nd stage 0.75°F. If you prefer slow  
cycle, clip jump W905. The 1st stage and 2nd stage would be  
1.5°F and 1.2°F respectively.  
Energy Management Recovery (EMR)  
This thermostat is set to operate with EMR. This causes the  
thermostat to start the heating or cooling system early to have  
the room temperature reach the program setpoint at the time  
the period is to start.  
To disable EMR, clip jumper W903 (see Fig. 1).

The configuration menu chart summarizes the configuration  
options. An explanation of each option follows.  
Press HOLD to change to the next menu item or press TIME to go  
backwards to the previous item in the menu. To exit the menu and  
return to the program operation, press RUN. If no keys are  
pressed within fifteen minutes, the thermostat will revert to  
normal operation.  
HOLD TEMPERATURE — The thermostat can hold any  
temperature within its range for an indefinite period, without  
reverting to the programmed temperature. Press HOLD  
button. HOLD will be displayed. Then choose the desired  
temperature by pressing  
or  
. The thermostat will  
hold the room temperature at the selected setting until you

or cooling early to make the building temperature reach the  
program setpoint at the time you specify. Heating will start 5  
minutes early for every 1° of temperature required to reach  
setpoint.  
2. Select Compressor Lockout CL OFF or ON – Selecting CL  
ON will cause the thermostat to wait 5 minutes before turning  
on the compressor if the heating and cooling system loses  
power. It will also wait 5 minutes minimum between cooling  
and heating cycles. This is intended to help protect the  
compressor from short cycling. Some newer compressors  
already have a time delay built in and do not require this  
feature. Your compressor manufacturer can tell you if the  
lockout feature is already present in their system. When the  
thermostat compressor time delay occurs it will flash the  
Snowflake and Flame icons for about five minutes.  
Example: You select EMR and have your heating pro-  
grammed to 65° at night and 70° at 7 AM. If the building  
temperature is 65° the difference between 65° and 70° is 5°.  
Allowing 5 minutes per degree the thermostat setpoint will  
change to 70° at 6:35 AM. Cooling allows more time per  
degree because it takes longer to reach temperature.  
°F/°C CONVERTIBILITY — The factory default setting is  
Fahrenheit. Clipping W904 jumper on the circuit board (see

This section will help you plan your thermostat’s program to meet  
your needs. For maximum comfort and efficiency, keep the  
following guidelines in mind when planning your program.  
• When heating (cooling) your building, program the tempera-  
tures to be cooler (warmer) when the building is vacant or  
during periods of low activity.

Determine the time periods and temperatures for your weekday  
and weekend programs. You must program four periods for both  
the weekday and weekend program. However, you may use the  
same heating and cooling temperatures for consecutive time  
periods. You can choose start times, heating temperatures, and  
cooling temperatures independently for both weekday and week-  
end programs (for example, you may select 5:00 AM and 70° as  
the weekday 1st period heating start time and temperature, and  
also choose 7:00 AM and 76° as the weekday1st period cooling  
start time and temperature). Use the table at the bottom of the

be intermittent.  
Many furnaces have safety devices that shut  
down when a lock-out condition occurs. If the  
heat works intermittently contact the furnace  
manufacturer or local service person for  
assistance.

Symptom  
Possible Cause  
Corrective Action  
No Heat (continued)  
5. Heating system requires service or  
thermostat requires replacement.  
Diagnostic: Set System Switch to HEAT and raise  
the setpoint above room temperature. Within a few  
seconds the thermostat should make a soft click  
sound. This sound usually indicates the thermo-  
stat is operating properly. If the thermostat does  
not click, try the reset operation listed above. If the  
thermostat does not click after being reset contact  
your heating and cooling service person or place  
of purchase for a replacement. If the thermostat  
clicks, contact the furnace manufacturer or a  
service person to verify the heating is operating  
correctly.  
No Cool  
1. System Switch not set to COOL.  
Set System Switch to COOL and lower setpoint  
below room temperature.  
2. Loose connection to thermostat or system.  
Verify thermostat and system wires are securely  
attached.  
3. Cooling system requires service or  
thermostat requires replacement.  
Same procedure as diagnostic for No Heat  
condition except set the thermostat to COOL and  
lower the setpoint below the room temperature.  
There may be up to a five minute delay before the  
thermostat clicks in Cooling.  
Heat, Cool or Fan Runs Constantly.  
1. Possible short in wiring.  
Check each wire connection to verify they are not  
shorted or touching together. No bare wire should  
stick out from under terminal screws. Try resetting  
the thermostat as described above. If the condition  
persists the manufacturer of your system or  
2. Possible short in thermostat.  
3. Possible short in heat/cool/fan system.  
4. Fan Switch set to Fan On.  
service person can instruct you on how to test the  
Heat/Cool system for correct operation. If the  
system operates correctly, replace the thermostat.  
Furnace (Air Conditioning) Cycles Too Fast  
or Too Slow (narrow or wide temperature  
swing)  
1. The location of the thermostat and/or the  
size of the Heating (Cooling) System may  
be influencing the cycle rate.  
Digital thermostats normally provide precise  
temperature control and may cycle faster than  
some older mechanical models. A faster cycle  
rate means the unit turns on and off more  
frequently but runs for a shorter time so there is  
no increase in energy use. If you would like to  
increase the cycle time, clip Jumper W-905 as  
mentioned in the instructions for Hydronic Heating  
Systems. It is not possible to shorten the cycle  
time. If an acceptable cycle rate is not achieved as  
received or by clipping W-905 contact a local  
service person for additional suggestions.  
Thermostat Setting and Thermostat  
Thermometer Disagree  
1. Thermostat thermometer setting requires  
adjustment.  
The thermometer can be adjusted +/- 3 degrees.  
See Temperature Display Adjustment in the  
Operation section.  
Thermostat Does Not Follow Program  
1. AM or PM set incorrectly in program.  
2. AM or PM set incorrectly on the clock.  
3. Voltage spike or static discharge.  
Check current clock and program settings  
including the AM or PM designations for each  
time period. If a voltage spike or a static discharge  
occurs use the Reset Operation listed above.
