SCREEN TIMEOUT—Set the number of seconds you want the home screen to stay active 
without any user interactions before transitioning to the dormant screen. 
Banner displays SCREEN TIMEOUT. 
15 seconds 
5 to 30 seconds 
(5 second increments) 
WI-FI ENABLE—Enable (yes) or disable (no) the Wi-Fi functionality for the thermostat. If 
disabled, the Wi-Fi radio in this product is turned off and Wi-Fi functionality is 
unavailable, including SYNC TIME TO SERVER, OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE via Wi-Fi 
geolocation, SERVER & WI-FI ERRORS and REMOTE ACCESS SERVICES via APP or WEB. 
FLTR HRS LEFT xxxx—The number of hours left before the filter reminder displays 
RESET FILTER—Reset the filter hours to the installer-specified number if the filter is 
changed prior to the timer counting down to zero. Press SELECT, use up and down 
arrows to display YES, and press SAVE.  
NOTE Decrements to the timer happen each hour of total equipment runtime.  The 
accumulated run time hours are stored to non-volatile memory, but the minutes are not, 
so a power cycle does not retain partial hour runtime. 
FILTER REMINDER displays on the home screen and dormant screen banners when the 
filter timer counts down to zero.   
If you touch the home screen banner when the FILTER REMINDER message displays, the 
thermostat transitions directly to FLT HRS LEFT screen. The banner message button is a 
shortcut to the FLT HRS LEFT screen when the filter timer has expired. You can access 
the FLT HRS LEFT screen at any time through the menu. 
 
 
 
To adjust the banner text 
These settings allow you to customize the information shown on the top banners of the home and dormant 
screens.  
The FAN STATUS, HEAT SETPOINT, and COOL SETPOINT selections only apply to the dormant screen banner 
because this information is already displayed in other areas of the home screen. 
 
 
DATE AND TIME 
•  When the date and time setting is NO, the date and time information are not 
displayed on the home or dormant screen banners. 
•  When the date and time setting is YES, the date, in month/day/year format, and the 
time, in 12 hour AM/PM format, display in both the home and dormant screen 
banners.   
FAN STATUS 
•  When set to NO, the state of the fan output (the G relay) is not displayed on the 
dormant screen banner. 
•  When set to YES, the dormant screen banner displays either FAN OFF or FAN ON, 
based on the state of the fan output.
