Calibration

NOTE: Your thermostat comes from the factory calibrated to+ or – 1°F actual temperature. It is an accurate instrument. If you want your thermostat to display the same temperature as another thermometer in your home, you can adjust its calibration.

To change the calibration:

The unit must be in the HEAT or COOL mode.

Press the MENU button.

Press the Temp Up/Temp Down arrows to adjust the temperature reading.

CALIBRATE DISPLAY ON will appear.

Press HOME to save the new setting.

Using a TOUCH SCREEN

Please take a moment to try out your touch screen itself.

To select a function on the touch screen, place your finger on the main temp display and give a short firm push. Try a “tap” of the finger or stylus. Your input must last long enough for the system to determine it is not an accidental ‘bump.

Using the stylus is more comfortable for some users. Again allow the system enough time to recognize your inputs. When you are comfortable with touch inputs, proceed.

Statement of use: The GPMG8030C can be used with most 24 volt gas, oil, or electric heating and air conditioning systems. It cannot be used with 120 volt heating systems or multistage heat pumps.
