Organizing Your Schedule
Your thermostat can be set for four time periods (Wake, Leave, Return, and Sleep) for the
weekday schedule (Monday through Friday), and four time periods for the weekend schedule
(Saturday and Sunday). Without additional programming, your thermostat follows the same
preprogrammed schedule for both weekdays and weekends (see Table 1).
WAKE
Choose the time you want your heating or cooling system to start to
reach your comfort temperature after the SLEEP period.
How? Consider the time required to reach your comfort level. Adjust the
Wake time to earlier when you know it will take the system longer to
reach your comfort temperature.
LEAVE
Choose the time you want your heating or cooling system to start an
energy-saving mode while you are away at work or school.
How? Set the Leave temperature lower during heating season, and
higher during cooling season.
