PROGRAMMING THE THERMOSTAT Determining your programming schedule Unlike many thermostats, this one gives you the option of programming every day of the week differently.
PROGRAMMING THE THERMOSTAT You can change those settings easily. Each day in your schedule must have four time periods. The thermostat thinks of these time blocks in terms of when people wake up, when they leave for the day, when they return home, and when they go to sleep. Use this blank grid to determine those time periods based on your own schedule along with how warm or cool you want your home to be at those times.

OPERATING THE THERMOSTAT Using the thermostat to turn the heating and cooling system off Here’s how to use the thermostat to turn the heating and cooling system off. 1. Open the door. 2. Press the mode button on the top left repeatedly until the display shows off in the upper left. 3. Close the door. Using the fan When the fan is on, it helps distribute air throughout your home for a more even temperature in all spaces.
OPERATING THE THERMOSTAT Changing the humidity level Your thermostat offers three humidity* options: normal, auto and off. It is set at the factory for “normal humidify,” which is a fixed setting based on how much humidity you want in the home. This humidity level remains constant, regardless of the outdoor temperature. You can manually adjust the humidity level according to your own preferences.
OPERATING THE THERMOSTAT 3. Press the up or down button to change the setting. It is factory-- set at 26% for humidify and 60% for dehumidify. It there’s too much condensation on the windows, try a lower number. If the air is too dry, try a higher number. If your home is newer and has quality windows that create a “tight” home, try a higher setting. If your home is older, you might need a lower setting. You can set the humidity between 10% and 46%; the dehumidify range is from 46% to 66%. 4. Close the door.
OPERATING THE THERMOSTAT 3. Press the up or down button to change this auto humidify set at number (1 through 9). If there is too much condensation on the windows, select a number lower than 5. If there seems to be a lot of static electricity, which often means the air is too dry, select a number higher than 5. If your home is newer and has quality windows that create a “tight” home, try a higher setting. If your home is older, you might need a lower setting. 4. Close the door.
OPERATING THE THERMOSTAT Using emergency heat (heat pump systems only) Emergency heat is useful when the automatic auxiliary heat system can’t keep up with demand. (Systems with heat pumps use “auxiliary heat” when it’s too cold outside for the heat pump to heat the house without help. The display indicator for this is auxiliary heat on.) If the heat pump compressor that works with auxiliary heat fails, or if the heat pump isn’t working at all, you can turn on the emergency heat for that extra help.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Advanced programming display codes chart You can customize several features of your thermostat. This chart shows which features you can change and the codes associated with them. The codes will be shown on the display when you follow the instructions.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Clearing the reset reminders The thermostat tells you when it’s time to change the UV light in the evaporator coil box connected to the furnace (if equipped), humidifier pad (if equipped), and furnace filter. (See page 49 for more information.) When the reminder icons are displayed on the screen, pressing and holding the done button for about three seconds clears all reminders on the screen.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS 5. Press the done button. 6. Close the door.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Changing from Fahrenheit to Celsius Your thermostat is preset to display the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. You can change this to Celsius. 1. Open the door. 2.

Press the up arrow button until 01 changes to 02 with F (Fahrenheit) next to it. 4.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Adjusting or turning off the continuous backlighting Your thermostat may feature a low level amount of backlighting until you press any button, which increases the lighting temporarily. You can adjust the intensity of the backlighting or turn if off completely. The range is off (OF) 1 to 5 brightness. Here’s how. 1. Open the door. 2.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS 5. Press the done button. 6. Close the door.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Keypad lockout The keypad lockout feature lets you “lock” the thermostat at one of three levels that increasingly limit anyone’s ability to make changes by pressing buttons. The levels are: 1 – You can change the temperature settings, the time of day, and the day of the week only 2 – You can change the temperature settings only 3 – The entire keypad is locked, allowing no changes Here’s how to lock the keypad on each of the three levels. 1. Open the door. 2.

Press and hold the buttons underneath the heat and cool setpoints simultaneously (the two bottom buttons on the right) until the screen displays the reset reminders and 01 in the lower right corner. 3. Press the up arrow button until 01 changes to 06 with 4 (time periods) next to it.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Turning on the programmable fan feature When you turn on the programmable fan feature using these instructions, you can program the fan selection to “auto” or “on” for each of the program schedule periods. (Learn more about this on page 25.) 1. Open the door. 2. Press and hold the buttons underneath the heat and cool setpoints simultaneously (the two bottom buttons on the right) until the screen displays the reset reminders and 01 in the lower right corner. 3.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING OPTIONS Turning off the daylight savings time feature The thermostat will automatically change the clock according to daylight savings time procedures twice a year. Here’s how to turn off the daylight savings time feature so the clock doesn’t automatically change. 1. Open the door. 2. Press and hold the buttons underneath the heat and cool setpoints simultaneously (the two bottom buttons on the right) until the screen displays the reset reminders and 01 in the lower right corner. 3.
SPECIAL FEATURES Hybrid Heat (heat pump with a furnace system only) This thermostat works with the Bryant Hybrid Heat systems offering maximum comfort and economy by automatically controlling whether your system delivers heating with the heat pump, with the furnace, or with both options working together. Service reminders The thermostat tells you when it’s time to change the UV light in the evaporator coil box connected to the furnace (if equipped), humidifier pad (if equipped), and furnace filter.
SPECIAL FEATURES Auto changeover The thermostat displays one of five modes: heat, cool, Em heat (heat pump version only), heat cool (auto mode) and off. When the mode selection is for both heating and cooling – auto mode – the thermostat is in auto changeover mode. This allows the system to switch from heating to cooling – or from cooling to heating – to maintain the temperatures you’ve programmed. It does this automatically.
WHAT IF . . . “Auxiliary heat on” is displayed (heat pump and Hybrid Heat systems only) Auxiliary heat on applies only to the heat pump version. If it is on, you will see auxiliary heat on. When it is displayed, it means the system has determined that it’s too cold outside for your heat pump to heat the house without help, so it’s getting help from the electric heaters. This happens automatically.
WHAT IF . . . You get a service reminder message Service reminder messages – check UV light, check hum pad, check filter – tell you that it’s time to change the UVC lamp in the evaporator coil box connected to the furnace (when installed), humidifier pad (when installed), and furnace filter. Make the indicated changes with the exception of the UV lamp – for important safety reasons, ask your dealer to replace that.
