OTHER FUNCTIONS AND CONTROLS
Backlight
The backlight of the RT500RF is switched on automatically whenever any of
the keys are pressed. The backlight will remain illuminated for approximately
5 seconds after the last key press, except if you are changing settings within
the Clock, Programme or Temporary Override modes – in this case, the
backlight will remain illuminated throughout the setting change process.
The backlight will not illuminate if the RT500RF battery is low.
Battery Status
The RT500RF checks the battery voltage frequently during normal
operation. If the battery voltage is sensed as being low (this is normally
when the battery voltage falls to a level of around 2.6V), the low battery
indicator
will be displayed on the screen.
Although the programmable thermostat will continue to operate normally
at this stage, you should replace the batteries as soon as possible to prevent
any possible operating problems.
Reset Button
The Reset Button is provided as a way to restore the programmable
thermostat to its default factory settings. Pressing this button will delete any
previously entered settings.
Sleep Mode
By pressing both the UP and DOWN keys together, the RT500RF will enter
SLEEP mode. In this mode, all the RT500RF functions will be paused to save
battery power, with the exception of the clock which will continue to run in
the background.
While in SLEEP mode:
• The LCD display will be blank.
• All output from the Control Unit will be turned off immediately.
Press any key to wake up the RT500RF and cancel SLEEP mode.

How do I remove the min unit from its wall mounting? Thank you in advance!
When I activate my thermostat it has stopped interacting with the receiver box, how can I fix this issue please
To fix the issue of your Salus RT500RF thermostat not interacting with the receiver box, try the following steps:
1. Check Power and Indicators:
- Ensure the receiver is powered on. A red light indicates it has power.
- If the green light is off, the receiver is not receiving a signal from the thermostat.
2. Check Thermostat Batteries:
- Verify that the batteries in the thermostat are correctly installed and not depleted. Replace them if necessary.
3. Reset the Receiver:
- Press the reset button on the receiver to re-establish communication with the thermostat.
4. Re-link the Thermostat and Receiver:
- Follow the instructions in the manual to pair the thermostat with the receiver.
- Ensure the RF address code is correctly set, especially if you have multiple units.
5. Minimize Interference:
- Ensure there is at least a 1-meter gap between multiple RT500RF receivers.
- Remove batteries from other control centers when setting up.
6. Check Heating System:
- Make sure the heating system itself is switched on.
If the problem persists, the receiver or thermostat may be faulty and require replacement or professional servicing.

The batteries are only lasting a few days. What can i do? Do i need a new thermostat?
The provided context does not directly explain why the batteries in the Salus RT500RF thermostat are only lasting a few days. However, based on the troubleshooting steps in the manual, you should check that the batteries are of the correct type, fitted correctly, and not exhausted. If the issue persists, you can try pressing the reset button. If the thermostat continues to drain batteries quickly, it may indicate a fault, and you should contact Salus Controls or their appointed agents for servicing or replacement. You may not necessarily need a new thermostat unless the issue cannot be resolved.
