| Fan On continuously |
- Move Fan switch from ON to Auto
- Remove the "G" wire. If fan continues to run, then either the system is miswired, or the problem is in the system, not the thermostat.

- Refer to thermostat manual to verify that your set temperature is what you expect it to be. The set temperature is always visible with "SET" below.
- Remove thermostat body from the wall, leave the backplate in place. Verify that Heating and cooling switch off within a few minutes.
- Replace the units batteries with fresh Duracell ® or Energizer® alkaline batteries.
- Set unit to heat mode. Adjust set temperature to at least 5 degrees below room temperature. Then adjust set temperature upward one degree at a time. Listen carefully for a soft click from the thermostat. This click should be heard near room temperature.
- Refer to your units manual to decrease the units swing setting to a narrower setting.
- Verify that your units placement and mounting are optimum per the installation section of it's manual.
- Refer to wiring to verify that it is according to the wiring diagram for your system.

| No heat or cooling when expected. |
- Note that in Cool Mode the thermostat may not activate a cooling stage until its compressor protection time has elapsed this may be a long as 5 minutes.
- Refer to thermostat manual to verify that your set temperature is what you expect it to be. The set temperature is always visible with "SET" below.
- Replace the batteries with fresh Duracell® or Energizer® alkaline batteries. Press reset with small Phillips screw driver. It may be necessary to reconfigure some settings after a reset.
- Set unit to heat mode. Adjust set temperature to at least 5 degrees below room temperature. Then adjust set temperature upward one degree at a time. Listen carefully for a soft click from the thermostat. This click should be heard near room temperature. Adjust set temperature down one degree at a time. Again listen carefully for a soft click from the thermostat near room temperature.
- The brass contacts in your thermostat may need to be cleaned and/or tightened. Each contact is comprised of a pin protruding from the rear of the thermostats circuit board, and two V shaped two contacts on it's wall plate. These contacts are located above each screw terminal. Insert a small regular screw driver at one side of a "V" contact. Turn the screw driver to slightly bend the top of each "V" contact toward it's mate.
- Refer to wiring to verify that it is according to the wiring diagram applicable to your system.

Fan Test
|
- FAN TEST: If your system has a fan, test it first.
- If the system is Heat only, or if there is a jumper between the "RH" and "RC" terminal of your thermostat, then with the power ON at the fuse box, touch the "G:" wire to the "RH" terminal. The fan should come on immediately and stay on. The rush of air is usually easily heard.
- If the system is Cool only, or if the system is Heat and Cool and there are separate wires to "RH" and "RC", and there is no jumper between them: then with the power ON at the fuse box, touch the "G:" wire to the "RC" terminal. The fan should come on immediately and stay on.
- If the fan does not come on it is an indication that there is a problem with your system. Check any breaker o fuses that fed the 24VAC transformer that powers your system
- If persists, contact qualified service personnel for aid in determining the fault.

Heat Pump Test
|
- To test a heat pump system with an "O" wire, three wires must be connected together with the power terminal. The power terminal is "R". "RH" and "RC" with a jumper between them my also be consider to be a single "R" terminal. With the power ON at the fuse box, connect the "O" and "Y" or "Y1" and "G" wires to the "R" terminal for a couple of minutes and the unit should provide cool air. Wait at least 5 minutes and repeat this test without the "O" wire. The unit should provide Heat.
- To test a heat pump system with a "B" wire, three wires must be connected together with the power terminal. The power terminal is "R". "RH" and "RC" with a jumper between them my also be consider to be a single "R" terminal. With the power ON at the fuse box, connect the "B" and "Y" or "Y1" and "G" wires to the "R" terminal for a couple of minutes and the unit should provide warm air. Wait at least 5 minutes and repeat this test without the "B" wire. The unit should provide cool air.
