• Slide the Mode Switch to the Off position (Step 1). While holding the
Reset Buon (on the back of the thermostat body), press the Down
Arrow Buon until the Offset Indicator appears. Release the Reset
Buon (Step 2). (Do not hold the Reset Buon for more than five
seconds.) Press the Reset Buon again (Step 3). (The Offset seing
will not be lost.) Use the Up or Down Arrow Buons to select the heat
system being used (Step 4). If using a Heat Pump, select "HP." If using
a furnace, select "F." Once the heating system type has been selected,
press the Reset Buon again to select desired cycle period (Step 5).
If heat pump ("HP") has been selected, use the Up and Down Arrow
Buons to toggle between 60, 20, and 12. If furnace ("F") has been
selected, use the Up and Down Arrow Buons to toggle between 60,
20, 12, and 6 (Step 6). The thermostat will accept the seing by pressing
the Reset Buon, by sliding the Mode Switch to Heat or Cool, or aer
10 seconds of no activity.

in an unusually dray or heated area.
3. Verify that the wall hole for wires is insulated properly.
4. Check Temperature Offset (see “Temperature Offset” section).
Problem: Not reaching set temperature
Solution:
1. Verify that the Mode Switch is in proper Heat or Cool Mode.
2. Verify that Heating/Cooling systems are working properly. (See No
Heating/Cooling System Activation in Troubleshooting section above.)
3. Check for loose or crossed wiring in the thermostat wiring terminal.
4. Check Temperature Offset (see “Temperature Offset” section).
5. Check placement of thermostat; make sure it’s not in an unusually
dray or heated area.
6. Verify that the wall hole for wires is insulated properly.
Problem: Wrong temperature scale displayed
Solution: See “Fahrenheit or Celsius Adjustment” section.
Problem: Display is blank/Low Baery Indicator on
Solution:
1. Replace baeries (see “Replacing the Baeries” section).
2. Check for loose or crossed wiring in thermostat wiring terminal.
Problem: Heat/cool system doesn’t respond immediately
Solution:
1. To protect your compressor, the thermostat default is to wait five
minutes before responding. For more information, see “Minimum Off
Time” section.
2. If the problem persists aer waiting five minutes, check baeries.
Replace if necessary (see “Replacing the Baeries” section).
Problem: Set Temperature is 10°F above (in Cooling Mode) or 10°F below
(in Heating Mode) desired temperature
Solution: Replace baeries. (see “Replacing the Baeries” section).
Problem: System turns on too frequently
Solution: The Orbit™ Clear Comfort™ thermostat uses smart logic to turn
once every cycle period to maximize comfort and temperature stability.
To adjust the cycle period, see the “Minimum Cycle Period Adjustment”
section under “Additional Thermostat Seings.”
