Unregistering thermostat
If you remove the thermostat from your Total Connect Comfort website account (for example, you’re moving and leaving the thermostat behind), the thermostat will display Register at Total Connect until it is re-registered.

Disconnecting Wi-Fi
Replacing your router
If you disconnect the thermostat from your Wi-Fi network:

1. Enter system setup (see page 18).
2. Change setting 39 to 0 (see page 19).

The screen will display Wi-Fi Setup. Re-connect to a Wi-Fi network by following the steps on page.

If you do not plan to control the thermostat remotely, you can remove the Wi-Fi Setup message from the screen:

1. Enter system setup (see page 18).
2. Change setting 38 to 0 (see page 19). Wi-Fi Setup will be removed from the screen.

If you want to connect to the Wi-Fi network later, change setting 38 back to 1.

Software updates
Honeywell periodically issues updates to the software for this thermostat. The updates occur automatically through your Wi-Fi connection. All your settings are saved, so you will not need to make any changes after the update occurs.

While the update is taking place, your thermostat screen flashes Updating and shows the percentage of the update that has occurred. When the update is complete, your home screen will appear as usual.

Note: If you are not connected to Wi-Fi, you will not get automatic updates.

Honeywell Smart Response Technology
This feature allows the thermostat to “learn” how long the heating/cooling system takes to reach programmed temperature settings, so the temperature is reached at the time you set. For example: Set the Wake time to 6:00 am, and the temperature to 70°. The heat will come on before 6:00 am, so the temperature is 70° by 6:00 am.
