Program the Thermostat When batteries are installed, your thermostat can be programmed in your hand, before it is mounted on the wall. If you would prefer to program the thermostat after it is mounted on the wall, go to page 22, and return later to this programming section. Refer to the personal Program Schedule (pages 14 and 15) to program your time and temperature settings for various times of the day. Four time periods are available during weekdays-WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN, and SLEEP. During weekends, only the WAKE and SLEEP time periods are available. These periods can be seen individually on the display as you press the Set Schedule key. WAKE is the time period you want the house at a comfortable temperature when you get up and while you get ready for work or school. When deciding what time to set for your WAKE period, include extra lead time, depending on the outside temperature and your furnace response time, to give the furnace a head start to heat the house before you get up. (This will be a higher temperature during heating season, or a lower temperature during cooling season.) LEAVE is the time period you can set for an energy-saving temperature while you are away 11 69-0887-1
