To turn your EATC on, press the AUTO button or any of the six manual override buttons along the bottom of the control. To turn your EATC off, press the OFF button. When the system is off, the Display window will be blank (dark). If you select AUTO, the system will automatically determine fan speed and airflow location. If a manual override button is selected, your selection determines airflow location only. Fan speed remains automatic unless you override it by pressing either side of the FAN speed button located at the extreme left of the control panel. Temperature selection The TEMP button at the upper left of the Control is for temperature selection. The a side of the TEMP button will increase the set temperature and the b side of the TEMP button will lower the set temperature. Pressing the button and releasing it will change the set temperature one degree. Holding either side of the button in will rapidly change the temperature setting in one degree increments to either 65˚F (18˚C) or 85˚F (29˚C). Then, the set temperature will jump 5˚F(3˚C) and stop at either 60˚F (16˚C) which is maximum cooling or 90˚F (32˚C) which is maximum heating. To change the temperature, select any temperature between 6O˚F (16˚C) and 90˚F (32˚C) by pressing the a or b side of the TEMP button. The EATC will display the selected temperature. 97
