Whatever temperature you set will be maintained 24 hours a day, until you manually change it, or press RUN to cancel “Hold” and resume the program schedule.
NOTE: Make sure the thermostat is set to the system you want to control (heat or cool).
Built-In Compressor Protection
This feature helps prevent damage to the compressor in your air conditioning or heat pump system.
Damage can occur if the compressor is restarted too soon after shutdown. This feature forces the compressor to wait 5 minutes before restarting. During the wait time, the display will flash the message Cool On (or Heat On if you have a heat pump). When the safe wait time has elapsed, the message stops flashing and the compressor turns on.
Early Start
This feature allows the heating or cooling to turn on before the program start time, so the temperature is reached at the time you set. For example: Set the Wake time to 6 am and the temperature to 70°. The
heat will come on before 6 am, so the temperature is 70° by the time you wake at 6. The next time period is displayed when the system is activated before a scheduled time period.
Change Filter
If the filter reminder is turned on during installation, the words Change Filter will flash on the screen when the filter needs to be replaced. After you replace the air filter, press and hold the RUN button for 3 seconds to reset the alert.
Battery Replacement
Install two fresh AAA batteries when Lo Batt flashes on the screen. Lo Batt appears for 60 days before the batteries are depleted. Replace batteries once a year, or when you will be away for more than a month.
Most settings are stored in non-volatile (permanent) memory. Only the clock and the day must be set after you replace the batteries. 
Set the System switch to Off before removing the batteries. Otherwise, the heating/cooling system could remain activated even when the batteries are removed.
Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty with your thermostat, please try the following suggestions. Most problems can be corrected quickly and easily.
The display is blank:
Make sure fresh AAA alkaline batteries are correctly installed.

FAQs Honeywell Single-Stage RTH2510 Programmable Thermostat Owner’s Manual
How long does a Honeywell thermostat last?
The normal lifespan of a thermostat for upkeep, repair, or replacement is variable (unlike air conditioners that need a tune-up every year). However, in general, you can count on your thermostat to endure for at least ten years. Thermostats may start acting up after ten years.
How much time does a Honeywell thermostat take to reset?
A Honeywell thermostat reset Negative to positive and positive to negative battery insertion is incorrect. Place them back in the proper order when ten seconds have passed. You’ll get a factory reset for your thermostat. Don’t forget to set your thermostat to your regular routine.
How can I program my Honeywell thermostat such that it stays in one setting?
Press up or down until the appropriate temperature is displayed to permanently ignore the timetable. Press the Hold button to keep the new temperature for an infinite period of time. On the screen, the word “Hold” will display. If you want to stop either override or start the schedule again, click the Run button.
What happens if the thermostat is left shut?
The circulation of the coolant is obstructed if the thermostat gets stuck in the closed position; as a result, the coolant cannot reach the radiator to cool it, which leads to engine overheating.
Should I change the thermostat’s batteries?
Batteries for thermostats There is a low battery indicator light on Honeywell thermostats. You’ll have roughly 60 days to change the batteries after this light turns on.
Why does a thermostat malfunction?
Contaminated fluid or an outdated thermostat with frayed springs can both result in thermostat failure. When incompatible coolants are mixed, the old coolant is not changed as advised, or particles from gaskets or other places break off contamination results.
How frequently should batteries be changed in a thermostat?
around once each year When necessary, changing the batteries in your thermostat is a quick and straightforward task for home maintenance. Batteries for thermostats often need to be changed once a year. You shouldn’t have any issues keeping control of your thermostat if you regularly change them.
What’s the difference between the Honeywell Thermostat’s fan on and the fan auto?
AUTO indicates that the fan only activates when air is being heated or cooled by your system. The entire system turns off until the following cycle once the thermostat reaches the desired temperature. When your HVAC system is not heating or cooling air, ON signifies that the fan is continually on and blowing air.
What is the mechanism of a Honeywell Thermostat?
When the air temperature drops below the thermostat setting, the heating turns on, and when the set temperature is achieved, it turns off. This is how it works. The temperature in the room won’t increase any faster if the thermostat is turned up.
How do you maintain the same temperature in every room?
Putting up a Zoned System With zoned HVAC systems, you can use separate thermostats to independently regulate the temperatures of various rooms. These systems assist maintain a uniform temperature by adjusting dampers that are installed in the ducting. Additionally, they let you quickly cool select areas while keeping empty rooms warmer.
How is a thermostat tested?
common thermostats: enlist the help of a friend or relative, Place one person near the furnace and the other near the thermostat. Turn the thermostat gradually to the heat setting to raise the temperature. The furnace and thermostat should both make noise.
