Program Schedule
You can program four time periods each day, with different settings for weekdays and weekends. We recommend the pre-set settings (shown in the table below), since they can reduce your heating/ cooling expenses.
Wake – Set to the time you awaken and the temperature you want during the morning, until you leave for the day.
Leave – Set to the time you leave home and the temperature you want while you are away (usually an energy-saving level).
Return – Set to the time you return home and the temperature you want during the evening, until bedtime.
Sleep – Set to the time you go to bed and the temperature you want overnight (usually an energy-saving level).
NOTE: Leave and Return periods can be canceled on weekends

Program schedule override (temporary)
Press ▲ or ▼ to immediately adjust the temperature. This will temporarily override the temperature setting for the current time period.
“Temporary” will appear on the display and the current program period will flash.
The new temperature will be maintained only until the next programmed time period begins (see page 13).
To cancel the temporary setting at any time, press RUN SCHEDULE.
NOTE: Make sure the thermostat is set to the system you want to control (heat or cool).
Program schedule override (permanent)
Press HOLD to permanently adjust the temperature. This will override the temperature settings for all time periods.
The “Hold” feature turns off the program schedule and allows you to adjust the thermostat manually, as needed.
Whatever temperature you set will be maintained 24 hours a day, until you manually change it, or press RUN SCHEDULE to cancel “Hold” and resume the program schedule.
NOTE: Make sure the thermostat is set to the system you want to control (heat or cool).
Auto Changeover (RTH6450 and RET95E only)
Use this feature in climates where both air conditioning and heating are used on the same day. When the system mode is in Auto, the thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling depending on the indoor temperature.
While in the Auto mode, if a schedule override takes place (temporarily or permanently) the thermostat will automatically adjust the cooling and heating settings to maintain a 3-degree separation between the cool and heat settings.
For example, if the heat temperature is raised to where it gets within 3-degrees of the cool setting, the display will show an up arrow next to “cool” to show the thermostat is raising the cool setting up to maintain a 3-degree separation.
Press the Select Heat/Cool button to select between the heat and cool to view/adjust either mode.
NOTICE: To avoid possible compressor damage, do not use Auto Changeover if the outside temperature drops below 50ºF (10ºC).
Smart Response® Technology
Smart Response® Technology: This feature allows the thermostat to “learn” how long the furnace and air conditioner take to reach programmed temperature settings, so the temperature is reached at the time you set. For example: Set the Wake time to 6 am, and the temperature to 70°. The heat will come on before 6 am, so the temperature is 70° by the time you wake at 6. The message “In Recovery” is displayed when the system is activated before a scheduled time period.
Built-in compressor protection
This feature helps prevent damage to the compressor in your air conditioning or heat pump system.
Damage can occur if the compressor is restarted too soon after shutdown. This feature forces the compressor to wait a few minutes before restarting.
During the wait time, the display will flash the message Cool On (or Heat On if you have a heat pump). When the safe wait time has elapsed, the message stops flashing and the compressor turns on.
Battery replacement
Install fresh batteries immediately when REPLACE BATTERY begins flashing. The warning flashes about two months before the batteries are depleted.
Replace batteries once a year, or when you will be away for more than a month.
If batteries are inserted within two minutes, the time and day will not have to be reset. All other settings are permanently stored in memory and do not require battery power.
Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty with your thermostat, please try the following suggestions. Most problems can be corrected quickly and easily.
- Display is blank: Make sure fresh AA alkaline batteries are correctly installed
- Temperature settings do not change: Make sure heating and cooling temperatures are set to acceptable ranges:
• Heat: 40° to 90°F (4.5° to 32°C).
• Cool: 50° to 99°F (10° to 37°C). - Cannot change system setting to Cool
• Check Function 1: System Type to make sure it is set to match your heating and cooling equipment - Fan does not turn on when heat is required
• Check Function 3: Heating Fan Control to make sure it is set to match your heating equipment - Heating or cooling system does not respond
• Press SYSTEM button to set system to Heat. Make sure the temperature is set higher than the Inside temperature.
• Press SYSTEM button to set system to Cool. Make sure the temperature is set lower than the Inside temperature.
• Check circuit breaker and reset if necessary.
• Make sure power switch at heating & cooling system is on.
• Make sure furnace door is closed securely.
• Wait 5 minutes for the system to respond. - “Cool On” or “Heat On” is flashing
• Compressor protection feature is engaged. Wait 5 minutes for the system to restart safely, without damage to the compressor - Heat pump issues cool air in heat mode, or warm air in cool mode
• Check Function 2: Heat Pump Changeover Valve to make sure it is properly configured for your system. - Heating and cooling equipment running at the same time (or heat does not turn off)
• Check Function 1: System Type to make sure it is set to match your heating and cooling equipment.
• Grasp and pull thermostat away from wallplate. Check to make sure bare wires are not touching each other. - Heating system is running in cool mode
• Check Function 1: System Type to make sure it is set to match your heating and cooling equipment

FAQS
Yes, this model is compatible with Hot water systems with or without pump.
you can only resubmit a new setting in order to erase an old one.
Definitely give them a call as Ed said. You can also try this. Put the t-stat to off and remove the faceplate/electronics. Slide the switch back and forth from heat/off/cool a bunch of times and see if that cleaned up the switch contacts. Also make sure your jumper settings are correct.
This model has 8 pins going into the letter terminals.
No. You can see the display without a backlight.
Program times are completely programmable, set any times that you want
I believe so. I checked with my landlord about this same issue and it worked
Yes, it comes with a manual.
I don’t think so, but I used mine to replace the exact same model, so I don’t know for sure.
Jean the RTH2410B will work with a1 Heat/1 Cool Conventional or 2 Heat/1 Cool Heat Pump.

The key to decreased oil usage is properly programing the thermostat. Program to lower heat at night when you are under covers and turn back on 1/2 hour before you get up. Lower the temp in the day-if you work outside the home. This of course is most effective if you have forced air heat and not a boiler, but it should still reduce consumption with a boiler
No, says battery low
The batteries are not supposed to have the terminals facing each other. We recommend you installing the batteries in the normal way: negative-positive-negative-positive.
