Frequently asked questions.
"Where should I locate my thermostat?"
For best results, the thermostat should be located approximately 5 feet above the floor on an
inside wall in an area with good air circulation. A thermostat should not be located where air is
stagnating, such as behind doors, in corners or under cabinets. Hot or cold drafts from air ducts
and windows should be avoided. Avoid direct heat from the sun, lighting fixtures, appliances,
fireplaces, etc.
"What does the antenna symbol on the display mean?"
The thermostat displays the antenna symbol as an indication that it is communicating with its
receiver(s). If, after several tries, communication is not established, the antenna symbol will
go out.
"What do I do if the antenna symbol is no longer displayed?"
Check power to the HVAC equipment in which the receiver is installed. With power restored,
force the thermostat to talk to the receiver(s) by pushing the FAN button or running the set
point temperature above or below the room temperature (above in heating, below in cooling).
The thermostat will also automatically try to communicate within a maximum of 10 minutes
from the last attempt. If communication is successful, the antenna icon will turn back on.
Coincidental RF interference could cause a temporary loss of communication. In virtually
all such cases, the interference is temporary.
"Can I run multiple heating or cooling loads with one thermostat?"
Yes. In fact, one thermostat can control up to eight (8) different receivers.
"Can I use another thermostat without interference?"
Yes. This wireless thermostat and its receiver(s) will talk between themselves, but will never
respond to or control another thermostat in adjacent rooms, apartments or neighboring
homes.
"When my a/c turns off, why can't I immediately make it run again?"
This is normal. What you are experiencing is called an anti short-cycle delay. Because of high
pressure in the system, it is not a good idea to start your air conditioner immediately after it
has just shut down. The thermostat automatically prevents this from happening by imposing
a delay of approximately 3 minutes.
