SETTING-UP THE CM701  ‘Getting Started’
This section shows you how to setup and run the thermostat in 3 simple steps:
STEP 1: Installing the Batteries
Note:  Please  follow  the  instructions  in  this  section  only  if  the  thermostat  screen  is  blank  (no 
symbols or digits are displayed). If the room temperature is already displayed move on to Step 2: 
Setting the Date and Time.
To install the Batteries:
a.  Lift up the front cover of the thermostat to reveal the battery cover and product controls.
b.  Remove the battery cover by pressing down and sliding out.
c.  Insert  the  2  x  AA  LR6  Alkaline  Batteries  supplied  with  the  thermostat,  ensuring  the  correct 
orientation (see ‘Controls Layout’ on page 2).
d. 
After a short pause the thermostat will display information on the screen and is now ready for use.
e.  Replace the battery cover by sliding it firmly back into the front of the thermostat.
STEP 2: Setting the Date and Time
To set the Date and Time:
a.  Press the DATE button to begin setting the date. When you set 
the date for the first time after the batteries are inserted, the 
display will show:
  Press the 
   or   buttons to set the current day of the month 
(e.g. d  01  =  1
st
 day  of  the  month)  then press the  green   
button to confirm.
b.  Press the     or    buttons  to  set  the  current month of the 
year (e.g. m 01 = January) then press the green   button to 
confirm.
c.  Press the     or   buttons to set the current year (e.g. yr 06 
= 2006) then press the green   button to confirm.
  The date is now stored.
d.  Use the     or   buttons to set the correct time then press 
the green   button to confirm. Each press of the buttons will 
change  the  time  by  one  minute  and  holding  them  down  will 
change the time slowly at first and get progressively quicker.
  Note:  If  this  mode  is  entered  accidentally  then  press  the 
AUTO, MAN or OFF buttons to exit. 
STEP 3: Running the Built-in Heating Program
The thermostat is now ready for operation. Press the AUTO button and the built-in heating program 
will start running. Note: The built-in heating program has been designed to provide normal comfort 
requirements, but if you want to customise the settings please see the next section ‘Programming 
the CM701’.
