User Cautions

Overview

Comfort Call allows you to call and ‘talk’ to your compatible thermostat. Monitoring

and controlling your thermostat is now simple and easy from any phone, from

anywhere.

Comfort Call employs the latest in voice recognition and synthesis technology. It can

tell you the indoor temperature of your home and the outdoor temperature, provided

there is a working outdoor sensor connected to the thermostat. Once on the phone

with your system, you may tell your thermostat to change to your preset Comfort

Settings or go into your preset ‘unoccupied’, Energy Savings Settings (page 15).

Comfort Call consists of two parts: A base station (page 6) that connects to the phone

line and a RF Wireless Module that plugs into your compatible thermostat (page 5).

Once Comfort Call answers, you will be prompted to enter a Security Access Code.

This code is preset to 1111. You may change this code to any four digit number, if

desired (page 13).

Some homes may have more than one thermostat. If there is more than one

thermostat, Comfort Call will have a menu option to access up to four different

thermostats (page 16).

As an added feature, some of our compatible thermostat models allow for the remote

control of an auxiliary output on the thermostat. This auxiliary output may be

accessed and controlled from Comfort Call as well (pages 17 and 18). An example of the

use of this auxiliary output: The output is connected to a Powerflash Interface PF284

to turn on or off the indoor lighting wirelessly.

Overview cont.

Comfort Call requires an analog telephone line. If this system is installed at a primary

residence, then the ring selector on the base station should be set to pick up the line

after seven rings (page 10). With this setting, Comfort Call will not answer before an

occupant is likely to pick up the phone.

If an answering machine or fax machine is connected to Comfort Call, then the

answering/fax machine should be set to pick up before Comfort Call (the ring selector

is set to seven rings). In the case of a connected answering machine, after the tone to

leave a message is heard, the user enters the Comfort Call security code. Comfort

Call will release the answering machine from the line and control of the thermostat is

now possible.

In the case of a fax machine, after the ‘handshake’ tones are heard, there are

moments of silence; during this silent period the Comfort Call security code should be

entered. Comfort Call will release the fax machine from the line and control of the

thermostat will be possible.

Please note that some phone services provide a ‘voicemail’ answering service. These

services release the home phone line after a preset number of rings and transfer the

call to an internal voicemail system. Comfort Call is not compatible with this type of

voicemail system.

Comfort Call is a solution for people who do not have the same occupied patterns

every day for their homes. It is also a convenient way to call ahead to make

sure the primary or vacation home is comfortable upon arrival.
