5.1 Impostazione di l'ora è u ghjornu
Lift the front cover of the thermostat to access the programming buttons. Use the designated buttons (refer to the physical product's button labels) to set the current time (hour, minute, AM/PM) and the current day of the week. Confirm each setting as per the on-screen prompts.
5.2 Changing Temperature Unit (Fahrenheit/Celsius)
The thermostat defaults to Fahrenheit (°F). To switch to Celsius (°C):
- Disconnect Power: Turn off power to the thermostat at the circuit breaker.
- Access Jumper: Carefully remove the thermostat from its wall mount to access the internal components. Locate the small jumper pin on the circuit board.
- Remove Jumper: Gently remove the jumper.
- Re-mount and Restore Power: Re-mount the thermostat and restore power at the circuit breaker.
- Resettà l'unità: After restoring power, it is necessary to perform a unit reset (e.g., power cycle) for the change to Celsius to take effect. Consult the physical product's detailed instructions for the exact reset procedure.
6. Operating Instructions

- Programmazione d'accessu: Lift the front cover to reveal the programming buttons.
- Select Day/Period: Use the appropriate buttons to navigate through the days of the week and the programmable periods (e.g., Wake, Leave, Return, Sleep).
- Temperature Set: For each period, use the Up/Down buttons to set the desired temperature.
- Salvà i paràmetri: Follow the on-screen prompts to save your programmed schedule.
Cunsigliu: Setting back the temperature during unoccupied hours or while sleeping can lead to significant heating cost savings (up to 15%).
6.3 Display Information
The large LCD continuously displays:
- Current Time and Day
- Set Temperature (TEMP SET)
- Current Room Temperature (ROOM TEMP)
- Heat Indicator (illuminates when heating system is active)
