Know Your Thermostat

Your thermostat has been pre-programmed from the factory with no programming necessary. We recommend using these pre-programmed settings for a few days before altering them as they offer maximum energy saving benefits. If you do decide to alter your programs, use the charts on page 13 to write out your scheduled times and temperatures. After you have recorded your preferences, follow the instructions on page 14 to alter your temperature settings.

There is no need to program the thermostat at the wall where it is mounted to! Remove the thermostat from the backplate by gripping the sides firmly and pulling it straight off. This allows you to program the thermostat in comfort.

After you have programmed your thermostat, no other setting changes are necessary unless you wish to browse through the menu to see how you may further adjust the independent settings of your thermostat to meet your lifestyle. The features section starting on page 28 of this manual will describe these settings. Most settings have been preset for optimal performance.

If you need any assistance with installation or setup of your new Hunter Thermostat, please call us, our technical support staff is ready to help!

Scheduling Introduction

Read the scheduling section thoroughly to ensure you understand your scheduling options and which will best fit with your lifestyle. The following notes should help you with scheduling:

• The schedule time can be set in 15 minute increments, and remains the same for both Heat and Cool programs.
• The scheduled temperature can be set in increments of 1^ (1°C).
  • After 15 minutes without a key press, the thermostat will return to the home display screen and save any changes you have made.
• When setting the schedule time, note the AM / PM indicator.
• At any stage during your scheduling, you can use the Back or Next buttons to move forward or backwards through the steps. Done/ Home will also save any changes, even if you have not scheduled or altered all settings.
• Arrows beside each schedule mode and beside heat/cool modes will indicate which is active.

This thermostat has been pre-programmed to provide optimal energy savings. No programming is necessary. We recommend you run these programs for a few days before adjusting your programming. If it is necessary to change these settings, use the scheduling table on the next page to record your new settings. You will also find the default schedule there as well.

Menu Options

Features

Menu Options

1. The next Menu option is to set your thermostat's primary span. Use the +or buttons to adjust between 1, 2, or, 3 degrees. Press after this has been changed or if no changes are necessary. The span setting regulates when and how long your system will run. The span has been set at the factory to 1 which will allow the system to turn on.5°F (.05°C) above or below the set temperature and run for .5°F (.05°C) above or below the set temperature.
   Example: If your thermostat is set to turn on at 72° in heat mode, with a span setting of 2, your thermostat will activate your furnace at 71° and shut it down when it reaches 73°. For cooling at 72° with a span of 2, your air conditioner will activate at 73° and shut down at 71°. This setting can be changed to 1, 2, or 3. 1 will shorten your running time while 3 will lengthen it.
2. Unless you have a multi-stage conventional or heat pump system, there is no need to change the second stage span. If you do, use the + or -buttons to adjust between 1, 2, or, 3 degrees. Press Next once this has been changed or if no changes are necessary. Secondary span acts the same as your primary, but it determines when and how long your second stage heat runs.
3. The last menu option changes your temperature readings between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Use the or buttons to switch between them and hit Next if you need to go back and make a change to a different menu item, or Done/ Home to be returned to the home screen.
