IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING:
Always turn off power at the main power source by unscrewing fuse or switching circuit
breaker to the off position before installing, removing, or cleaning this thermostat.
Read all of the information in this manual before programming this thermostat.
This is a 24V AC low-voltage thermostat. Do not install on voltages higher than 30V AC.
All wiring must conform to local and national building and electrical codes and ordinances.
Do not short (jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the system control to test
installation. This will damage the thermostat and void the warranty.
Do not connect ground to any terminal in this unit.
This thermostat is equipped with automatic compressor protection to prevent potential
damage due to short cycling or extended power outages. The short cycle protection provides
a 5-minute delay between heating or cooling cycles to prevent the compressor from being
damaged.
Do not switch system to cool if the temperature is below 50°F (10°C). This can damage the
cooling system and may cause personal injury.
Use this thermostat only as described in this manual.

What is an event?
An event is a programming period. This could be the period in the morning when you are preparing for work or school. It could be the
period when no one is at home. It could be the period when the household is asleep at night.
The time for an event is selected based on when you want the event to occur. For example, if you wake up at 6:30 AM, set the first
event for 6:30 AM. The thermostat will automatically make sure that your home is at the desired temperature selected for that event
by the time you wake.
This thermostat can be set for 2, 4, or 6 events.
Two events should be selected if someone is home all day thereby requiring a constant temperature during the day and a different
temperature at night.
Four events are the most common for working households. Event 1 (WAKE) is the morning period. Event 2 (DAY) is when everybody
has left for school or work. Event 3 (EVE) is the return period, coming home from school or work. Event 4 (NIGHT) is the night period
when everybody is asleep.
Six events can be used especially when there is activity during the day. Event 1 (WAKE) is the morning period. Event 2 (MORN) is
when everybody has left for school or work. Event 3 (NOON) is the lunch period, when the kids may be home for a break.
Event 4 (DAY) is the afternoon period when the house is empty. Event 5 (EVE) is the return period, coming home from school or
work. Event 6 (NIGHT) is the night period when everybody is asleep.
How do I know what program is right for me?
The thermostat is factory set with the US EPA ENERGYSTAR®recommended times and temperatures for optimal energy savings. You
can change these to suit your lifestyle.
The best rule is to examine your schedule and set the times and temperatures that best fit. This thermostat is so versatile, you can
easily change temperatures or programs at a whim.
110-1023E.qxd 11/18/04 10:50 AM Page 14
What are the USER settings?
The USER SETTINGS can change the way information is displayed on the thermostat and help
to optimize comfort. It’s one way to truly personalize your new thermostat.
To get to the USER SETTINGS, press the MENU button from the main screen.
Use the DOWN button to scroll below the screen. Press SELECT.

DIFFERENTIAL SETTINGS
The temperature differential is your comfort level. A lower differential means your system may
cycle with greater frequency but will control closer to the setpoint temperature.The second stage
delay is a timed delay to indicate how much time should pass before the second stage is turned
on. This is an energy saving feature. To use less energy, set this higher. For greater
comfort, set it lower.
SENSOR SETTINGS
This screen will appear when a remote indoor sensor (9020i) is connected to the thermostat.
USE LOCAL SENSOR will disable the remote sensor and only sense from the thermostat.
AVG. LOCAL/REMOTE will take a temperature reading from both the thermostat and the remote
sensor and average the two for even temperature control. USE REMOTE SENSOR will disable
the sensor in the thermostat and only control from the remote location.
HEATING and COOLING LIMITS
To prevent individuals (probably your kids) from adjusting the
thermostat too hot or too cold, you can limit the maximum setting
for the heating and cooling modes. This will help you save on
energy costs.

About the only features you may need to change are the FILTER INTERVAL (in case you get a new type of high efficiency filter), the
temperature differentials (if you desire additional comfort), and the security settings. All the other settings probably will not need to be
changed.

AUXILIARY HEAT
The 9720i can be set to use your 2H/2C heat pump internal auxiliary heating or to use an
external add-on source. The add-on feature will be used most often when a single stage heat
pump uses a gas or electric furnace as its second stage of heating.
RESIDUAL COOL
In order to get greater efficiency from the cooling system, the fan can be programmed to run for
0 (OFF), 30, 60, 90, or 120 seconds after the air conditioner has shut off.
BALANCE POINTS
This screen will appear only when the optional outdoor sensor (9025i) is connected to the
thermostat. When this sensor is used with the 9720i, you can set the lower and upper
temperatures to disable or enable 2nd stage heat.
AUTO CHANGEOVER
When turned on, the thermostat will switch automatically between heating and cooling to maintain
the optimal temperature in your home.

ENERGY EFFICIENT RECOVERY
When turned on, the thermostat will look ahead two hours to determine when to turn on the
heating/cooling system in order to reach the desired temperature at the desired time.
DEADBAND SETPOINT
Deadband is used with the AUTO CHANGEOVER feature. The deadband is the temperature
difference from the setpoint temperature during which the heating or cooling will not be turned on.
This is adjustable from 2-8°F (1.0-4°C).

CONTACT INFORMATION
This allows the servicing HVAC contractor to put their name and phone number into the thermostat to
remind you when service may be required.
SERVICE MONITOR MENU
Two menus are available, the System Monitor and the Filter Monitor. Both can be set based on the HVAC
system run time or calendar based. See Reminder Interval.
Both the System Monitor and Filter Monitor can be set from OFF to 360 Days in 30 day increments or
OFF to 980 in 20 hour increments.
REMINDER INTERVAL
The Reminder Interval can be set for either HVAC system run time or based on the calendar.
If Run Time is chosen, the service reminder will be set in hours. After the HVAC system has been
operating for the selected number of hours, a Service Reminder will be displayed informing you that
service is suggested for your system.
If Calendar Time is chosen, the service reminders will be set in days. After the selected number of
days has passed, a Service Reminder will be displayed informing you that service is suggested for
your system.

When would I need to change the INSTALLER settings?
NEVER! The INSTALLER SETTINGS are selected based on the type of equipment you have in your home. This feature should be
set only by a certified HVAC technician. Changing these settings could result in higher energy costs and may even damage your
equipment. There is a security lock on this feature to prevent tampering. USE IT!
How does Energy Efficient Recovery™ (EER™) work?
Energy Efficient Recovery™ is an energy saving feature. During a set back period (or set up in cooling), it allows the thermostat to
look ahead two hours to determine when to turn on the heating (cooling) system. During this period, the second stage is locked out to
allow the first (and most efficient stage) to bring your home to the desired temperature.
How does my remote indoor sensor work?
The remote indoor sensor (part # 9020i) can be used to improve the comfort of your home. When used in conjunction with the local
sensor on the thermostat, the two sensors average the sensed temperature and control to that average temperature.
You also can use the remote sensor in a stand-alone situation when you want to control the temperature in a remote room but have
the thermostat in a secure location.
When would I need a remote indoor sensor?
Large rooms are ideal for remote sensors. Installing a remote sensor across from the thermostat will provide constant comfort
throughout the living space.
How does my remote outdoor sensor work?
The remote outdoor sensor (part # 9025i) can be used to aid in the comfort of your home or simply as a sensing device to inquire
about outdoor conditions. In most applications, the thermostat will have a display of the temperature sensed by the remote outdoor
sensor. With your heat pump system, the remote outdoor sensor can help determine when to turn on the second stage of heating for
optimal comfort.

Where should I install a remote outdoor sensor?
The remote outdoor sensor should be installed on the northern wall of your home, away from direct sunlight or other heat sources that
may affect its sensitivity.
Who should I call for additional help?
For additional troubleshooting information, visit our web site at www.about-i-series.com. To talk with a service representative, give us a
call at 800-445-8299.
What should I do if my power goes out?
Make sure your family is safe and don’t worry about the thermostat. Your thermostat automatically retains the time of day for approxi-
mately two hours in the event of a power outage. All other programmed parameters are stored permanently in memory. So, if your
power is out for more than two hours, simply reset the clock. See page 4.
How do I reset the thermostat program to factory conditions?
To reset the thermostat to factory conditions, press the UP button and the LEFT button at the same time. Hold for 3 seconds. The time
of day will display 12:00 indicating a reset has occurred.
NOTE: This will erase all programming and return the thermostat to the factory conditions including the installer settings.
Use this only as a last resort.
How do I know if the heating or cooling is on?
The display of the thermostat will indicate the operating mode, HEAT or COOL. When the temperature in your home decreases or
increases, the HEATING or COOLING cycle will come on based on the displayed mode. When the HVAC system is ON, the LEDs
along the bottom crease will turn on.

My energy bills are too high. Is there anything I can do?
While we can’t do anything about the high cost of energy, we can try to use less energy and thereby lower our heating and
cooling costs.
Generally, the best way to do this is to use the EPA ENERGYSTAR®recommended setpoints for heating and cooling.
ENERGYSTAR®Setpoints
Winter Summer
(Heating) (Cooling)
Morning 70°F (21°C) 78°F (25°C)
Day 62°F (17°C) 85°F (29°C)
Evening 70°F (21°C) 78°F (25°C)
Night 62°F (17°C) 82°F (28°C)
Another way to contain costs is to cycle the heat pump or air conditioner with moderation. The thermostat controls the cycle rate
based on temperature differentials. By maintaining a reasonable differential setpoint, 1°F for 1st stage and 2°F for 2nd stage,
your furnace will cycle with moderation.
Finally, using the remote outdoor sensor coupled with the balance point feature (see INSTALLER SETTINGS, page 20) will
allow your furnace to cycle to the most efficient stage for your heating or cooling needs.

When should I change the batteries?
Only the model 9700i operates with batteries. The 9701i, 9715i and 9720i operate from power provided by your HVAC system.
Generally the batteries will last 18-24 months. The thermostat will tell you when to change the batteries. A
battery symbol will appear just below the temperature display. The thermostat will continue to operate for a
short period of time with this notification on the display. The low battery warning supercedes all other
notifications including outdoor temperature and the filter monitor.
If the WARNING screen is displayed, the thermostat will shut down all
operations, including heating and cooling. It’s important to change the
batteries promptly if this screen appears.
How do I change the batteries?
Simply slide the battery door to the right. Remove
the two right most batteries first. Then remove the
two left batteries. The screen to the left will
appear. This screen will help you orient the new
batteries. Replace with four fresh AA alkaline
batteries. REPLACEMENT TIP: It’s easier to
replace the two left most batteries first, then the
right ones.
