Battery Tips
1. Replace the batteries as soon as LO Batt flashes in the display. The LO Battery indicator
flashes in the display one month before the batteries run down completely.
2. Always use fresh AAA alkaline batteries. Non-alkaline batteries do not last as long and can
leak, causing comfort control damage.
Battery Power (Optional)

The comfort control is designed to be programmed while relaxing in your favorite chair. Install the
three AAA batteries on the back of the control and you are ready to go. When you have completed
programming the control, remove the batteries or simply leave them in place.

Dehumidification Control (Select Models)
If your comfort control has dehumidification control and you set a dehumidification setpoint, the
comfort control attempts to control to this dehumidification setpoint by turning on the air conditioner.
In extremely high humidity conditions, comfort control keeps the air conditioner running for up to 3°F
below your temperature setpoint. It does this when trying to achieve your desired humidity setpoint
and balance that with your temperature setpoint.
Temperature Recovery
Your comfort control comes with a feature called Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™, which eliminates
all guesswork when setting your schedule. How long does it take the furnace to warm your house in
the morning before you get out of bed or how long does it take the air conditioner to cool your house
in the afternoon before you return from work? No problem.The comfort control determines that for
you.
Simply set your program schedule to the time you want the house to be at your comfort temperature.
The comfort control then turns on the heating or cooling at just the right time to have your home
reach your scheduled temperature at your scheduled time.
For example—you get out of bed at 6:00 AM and want the temperature to be 70°F. Set the Wake
period for 6:00 AM and 70°F. The comfort control then turns on the heat before 6:00 AM to raise the
temperature to 70°F by 6:00 AM.
The comfort control alerts you that the heating or cooling system is coming on before a scheduled
time by showing “Recovery” on the screen.

IMPORTANT
It takes about a week for the comfort control to adjust to local weather, your schedule, the
construction of your home and your heating and/or cooling system. Your comfort control
learns from experience. Each day it checks how closely it reached the recovery time and
adjusts the next day’s recovery start time accordingly.
22-5207-04

Advanced Heat Pump Features (Select Models)
If you have a heat pump heating system, your comfort control can use some special features when
used with an Outdoor Temperature Sensor, such as compressor and/or backup heat lockout based
on outside temperature. For example, if your backup heat does not turn on above a designated
outside temperature, your system uses an advanced heat pump feature.
Setting the Calendar

This comfort control is designed to automatically keep current time and day in memory for up to ten
years, under normal use, once the calendar is set. There are two ways to set the calendar for this
comfort control:
SETTING CALENDAR AFTER COMFORT CONTROL IS ALREADY FUNCTIONING

See steps 1 through 4, in the Advanced Settings section, to set year, month and day.

LIMITED WARRANTY LOW VOLTAGE ROOM COMFORT
CONTROLS (PARTS ONLY)
This limited warranty is extended by the manufacturer to the original purchaser and to any succeeding owner of
the real property to which the low voltage room comfort control is originally affixed and applies to products
purchased and retained for use within the U.S.A. and Canada.
The limited warranty period begins when the low voltage room comfort control installation is complete, verified by
installer's invoice or similar document. If installation completion and start-up date cannot be verified by installer's
invoice or similar document, limited warranty coverage begins six (6) months after the date of manufacture based
on the low voltage room comfort control serial number.
If any part of your low voltage room comfort control fails because of a manufacturing defect within five (5) years
from the date the limited warranty period begins, Warrantor will furnish without charge a new low voltage room
comfort control. Any local transportation, related service labor, and diagnosis calls, are not included.
This limited warranty does not apply if the low voltage room comfort control was purchased direct (i.e. from
internet websites or auctions) on an uninstalled basis. Additionally, this limited warranty will not apply unless the
low voltage room comfort control is: (1) installed by a licensed or qualified HVAC technician, (2) applied and
installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations in its Installer's Guide, and (3) in compliance
with all industry standards, national, state, and local codes.
This limited warranty does not cover your low voltage room comfort control if it is damaged while in your
possession; including, but not limited to (1) damage caused by unreasonable use of the low voltage room
comfort control, (2) damage from failure to properly maintain the low voltage room comfort control as set forth in
the Use and Care manual, (3) damage that is not considered a manufacturing defect, such as acts of God,

malfunctions or failures resulting from fire, water, storms, lightning, earthquake, theft, riot, misuse, abuse,
increased utility usage costs, or (4) performance problems due to improper selection / equipment match-up,
installation, or application.
THE LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES AND LIABILITIES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN NEGLEGENCE, EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED, IN LAW OF IN FACT, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
FOR PARTICULAR USE, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL WARRANTOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied limited warranty lasts or do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This
limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
Parts will be provided by our factory organization through an authorized service organization in your area listed in
the yellow pages. If you wish further help or information concerning this limited warranty, contact:
