1. thermostat not adjusting for Daylight Saving Time The VisionPRO thermostats have the ability to automatically adjust for Daylight Light Saving Time Due to unforeseen changes in 2007 to the law modifying the beginning and the end of Daylight Saving Time thermostats that were originally released do not have the updated dates to update on the correct dates Production changes were made as soon as possible following the law change to add the ability to automatically adjust to the new date settings DST We are unable to accommodate requests to trade in an older version of the thermostats to new ones after the change in the law In these instances we recommend turning off the Daylight Saving Time automatic adjustment feature This can be done in the user setup instructions in the operating manual Then the time should be adjusted in the fall and spring just like many other clocks in the home Why is my thermostat starting the heat or cool before the program time The thermostat has a feature called Adaptive Intelligent Recovery AIR or Smart Response or Early Start This allows the thermostat to learn how long the heating and cooling system will take to reach the programmed temperature settings So the temperature is reached at the time you set For example Set the Wake time to 6am and the temperature to 70F The heat will come on before 6am so the temperature is 70F by the time you wake at 6am The message recovery is displayed when the system2. and On and Circ Circulate The Auto position will allow the system fan to operate whenever the heating or cooling system is turned on by the thermostat The On position will turn the fan on to run continuously regardless whether heating or cooling system is turned on by the thermostat or not The Circ Circulate position will run the fan approximately 35 of the time minus any time the fan will run with the heating or cooling system My system turns on and off too fast What should do Your thermostat is designed to control temperature to 1 F How often your heat turns on and off depends on may factors including the type of heating system you have as well as how much your system needs to run to maintain your temperature setting in other words how cool or cold it is outside A typical forced air system will cycle about five times in an hour 5CPH this is normal My thermostat does not show Sched or Hold buttons Why If the thermostat is set for operation as a non programmable unit then it will not show Sched or Hold in the display To check how the thermostat has been set up please refer to the owner s manual under Advanced Functions and refer to feature 0160 Stage two of heat or cool turns on right away when move the temperature higher or lower Why The thermostat takes the temperature override as a need to reach the new temperature setting right away It will run the second or third stage only as long as necessar

5. void jumping up and down constantly Why is my cooling not working There are several items you can check First check that the thermostat is set to the Cool position Make sure the temperature is set lower than the Inside temperature reading Also check the circuit breaker and reset if necessary Make sure that the furnace door is closed securely If wait is in the screen or cool on is flashing wait 5 minutes for the system to safely respond The thermostat will indicate it is asking for the cooling to turn on when cool on or a snowflake in the display If this message is in the display the thermostat is asking for the heat to be on and there is a likely a problem outside of the thermostat preventing the cooling from running Why is my heat not working There are several items you can check First check that the thermostat is set to the Heat position Make sure the temperature is set higher than the Inside temperature reading Also check the circuit breaker and reset if necessary Make sure that the furnace door is closed securely If wait is in the screen or heat on is flashing wait 5 minutes for the system to safely respond The thermostat will indicate it is asking for the heat to turn on when heat on ora flame in the display If this message is in the display the thermostat is asking for the heat to be on and there is a likely a problem outside of the thermostat preventing the heat from running Why is my
