Press down on left ends of batteries to remove. If the new batteries are inserted within 20 to 30 seconds of removing the old ones, the thermostat will not require reprogramming. However, if the display is blank, the batteries are dead or incorrectly installed and require reprogramming. See Owner s manual to reprogram. IMPOTNT: lthough the thermostat has a low battery indicator, replace the batteries once a year to prevent the thermostat and heating/cooling system from shutting down due to lack of battery power.
