Recovering from a power outage 
The Carrier® Connect™ Wi-Fi Thermostat stores the following critical information in a non-volatile flash memory: 
•  Installer settings 
•  Owner settings 
•  Program schedule 
•  Software information 
•  Dealer information 
•  Fault and system event information 
•  Date and time 
 
The Carrier® Connect™ Wi-Fi Thermostat uses a capacitor to maintain date and time for approximately 2 hours, in 
order to maintain data during short power interruptions. If the power outage is longer than 2 hours, the date and 
time will automatically be updated once network connection is re-established. 
 
 
Resetting wi-fi access 
To assign a new Wi-Fi access point or transfer the Carrier® Connect™ Wi-Fi Thermostat to a new account, follow 
these steps. 
 
1  On the thermostat, not a mobile device, swipe the HOME screen twice to the left to navigate to the MODE 
screen and ensure the MODE is OFF.  
NOTE The yellow line above a button indicates the current MODE. 
 
 
2  Swipe to go to the FAN screen and then press and hold the Fan Button   for 5 seconds to get to the 
SYSTEM SETTINGS screen.  
NOTE You can ONLY access the SYSTEM SETTINGS screens from the thermostat itself, not the app or web.
