You can use the up and down arrows on the thermostat to increase or decrease the setpoint temperature, providing precise control over your home’s climate.
To increase the temperature, press the up arrow button. The displayed temperature will increment, allowing you to raise the temperature until you reach your desired setting. Conversely, to decrease the temperature, press the down arrow button. The displayed temperature will decrement, enabling you to lower the temperature to your desired level.
After making your temperature adjustments, the thermostat will display the new setpoint temperature, indicating the target temperature for your HVAC system. The thermostat will then automatically adjust the heating or cooling system to maintain the desired temperature, ensuring a comfortable and energy-efficient environment in your home.
Features
The Pro1 T721 thermostat boasts several features designed to enhance comfort, convenience, and energy efficiency. One of its key features is a programmable timer that allows you to schedule your heating and cooling system to automatically adjust based on your daily routines. This feature is especially beneficial for optimizing energy consumption by ensuring that your HVAC system only operates when needed, reducing unnecessary energy usage and saving on your energy bills.
Another notable feature is the filter change reminder. This intelligent function helps maintain optimal air quality by reminding you when it’s time to replace your HVAC system’s air filter. A clean air filter is crucial for efficient operation of your HVAC system and for maintaining healthy indoor air quality. The filter change reminder eliminates the need to manually track filter replacements, ensuring that your system always operates at peak performance.

Troubleshooting
While the Pro1 T721 thermostat is designed for reliable operation, you may occasionally encounter issues. This section provides guidance on common troubleshooting steps to address potential problems. If you experience any issues with your thermostat, refer to this section for possible solutions.
If you are experiencing problems with your thermostat, you can try a few things before contacting a technician. First, make sure that the batteries are fresh and that the thermostat is properly installed. If the problem persists, you may need to reset the thermostat. To reset the thermostat, remove it from the subbase and remove the batteries. Wait 10 seconds and then replace the batteries and place the thermostat back on the subbase.
If you are still experiencing problems, you can consult the troubleshooting guide in your thermostat’s manual or contact the manufacturer for assistance. By following these simple troubleshooting steps, you can resolve most common issues and ensure the smooth operation of your Pro1 T721 thermostat.
Blinking Cool On Message
A blinking “Cool On” message on your Pro1 T721 thermostat is a common occurrence and usually indicates a normal safety feature designed to protect your HVAC system. There are two primary reasons for this blinking message⁚ compressor protection or a startup delay after a power loss.
The compressor protection feature is a built-in safety mechanism that prevents the compressor from overheating. If the compressor runs for an extended period without cycling off, the thermostat will activate the blinking “Cool On” message to signal a pause in operation. This pause allows the compressor to cool down and prevents potential damage.
Alternatively, the blinking message could be triggered by a startup delay after a power outage. Modern thermostats often include a delay feature to prevent immediate strain on the HVAC system after a power interruption. This delay ensures the system starts gradually and avoids potential damage.
