The Reset feature allows the user to completely reset the thermostat and to register new
manual ˚F / ˚C temperature scale switch settings.
1. To erase all entered program settings, gently press RESET button using a paper clip or a
small pencil tip.
2. This will return all thermostat settings to their default values and register all new manual
˚F / ˚C temperature scale switch settings.
Non-Volatile Memory

In cool mode the room temperature does not reflect the actual temperature the room actual temperature is lower than what is shown

The Braeburn 1200 may show a higher temperature than the actual room temperature in cool mode because the thermostat needs time to acclimate to the correct room temperature. This can happen if the thermostat was stored in a cold location before installation or if it was turned off during a cold period. Allowing the thermostat to warm up helps it display the correct temperature.
