Talking Thermostat™

ongratulations on acquiring the VIP3000 “Talking Thermostat™” specifically

designed for visually impaired and blind users. The VIPis the first digital

thermostat with audio playback of day, time, indoor temperature, system settings,

temperature settings and programming instructions so visually impaired and blind

users can precisely and easily manage their indoor comfort.

SECTION 1: GETTING TO KNOW THE VIP3000

The best way to get familiar with your new VIP3000 thermostat is to pick it up and

examine it! Knowing where everything is located will help you to easily follow its

voice instructions.

To get your bearings, hold the VIP3000 thermostat in both

hands. The thermostat’s

dimensions are approximately 7 inches across, 4 inches high and 1 inch deep. Feel

for the side with some rubber buttons, a display screen and a swing down panel

door. That’s the front side. Have that side face towards you. Feel along the

backside of the thermostat until you touch a flexible plastic ribbon. This ribbon

prevents the batteries from discharging during shipping. Remove this ribbon by

gently pulling until it is separate from the thermostat. The thermostat should now

have power from the batteries.

Return your hands to their original positions. Move your left thumb up along the left

side until it meets the top curved edge. Now move your thumb down about a half an

inch until you feel a small round button. This is the HELP

button. Press it and you’ll

hear useful service information. If you don’t hear anything, check that the batteries

are properly installed and are not discharged. To replace batteries please refer to

“Low Battery Alert and Replacing Batteries” section, located on page 12 of this

instruction pamphlet.
