15. I live in an area where daylight savings
time is observed. How do I change the
thermostat clock twice a year without
affecting thermostat programming?
To change your clock, follow the instruc-
tions for setting current time and day. See
ENTERING YOUR PROGRAM. Thermo-
stat programming is not affected when you
change the clock.
16. Do I have to reprogram my thermostat
after I change the battery?
When the thermostat is on the wall and the
system has power, the thermostat is being
powered by a 24 VAC source. If power is
lost, or if the thermostat is removed from
the wall, the program will be retained for
approximately one minute if there is no
battery installed or if the installed battery is
dead. If you are changing the battery after
seeing a flashing BAT on the display, the
installed battery may be dead. If you re-
move the old battery and install a fresh one
within one minute, you should not lose
your thermostat programming. After in-
stalling a new battery, follow the proce-
dures in CHECK YOUR PROGRAMMING
to determine whether your programming
was maintained. If the thermostat main-
tains programming, press SYSTEM
SWITCH
until
OFF is displayed, put the thermostat back
on the wall, press SYSTEM
SWITCH
to select the
operating mode you want, then press RUN
PRGM
to start program operation. If the program
is lost, reprogram the thermostat. See
PROGRAMMING YOUR THERMOSTAT.
