Battery Usage and Maintenance
Use Duracell or Energizer alkaline batteries only. Replace batteries annually or when “LO BATT” is displayed. Proper maintenance ensures optimal performance and prevents operational issues.
Recommended Battery Types
For optimal performance, use only high-quality alkaline batteries such as Duracell or Energizer. These batteries are specifically designed to provide reliable power and long-lasting operation. Avoid using rechargeable or low-quality batteries, as they may cause inconsistent performance or damage to the thermostat. Replace batteries annually or when the “LO BATT” indicator appears on the display. Proper battery maintenance ensures accurate temperature control and prevents system malfunctions. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for battery replacement to maintain the thermostat’s efficiency and functionality.
Battery Replacement Guidelines
To replace the batteries in your LuxPro thermostat, first ensure the system is turned off to avoid any electrical issues. Open the battery compartment, typically located on the front or side of the device. Carefully remove the old batteries and insert the new ones, matching the polarity as indicated. Close the compartment securely. After replacement, check the thermostat’s display to confirm it is functioning correctly. Replace batteries at least once a year or when the “LO BATT” message appears. Proper replacement ensures uninterrupted operation and maintains your desired temperature settings efficiently.
Installation Process
Turn off power to the system. Remove the old thermostat and label wires. Mount the new LuxPro thermostat, connect wires correctly, and restore power to test operation.
Preparation Steps for Installation
Before installing your LuxPro thermostat, ensure the system is compatible and power is turned off. Label all wires from the old thermostat for easy identification.

The thermostat displays the active mode (Heat, Cool, or Off) and indicates when it is actively running. Users can also adjust the fan settings for continuous airflow or energy-saving modes. Ensure batteries are maintained for consistent performance. The thermostat will remind you to change air filters after a set runtime. Follow on-screen prompts for basic adjustments, and refer to advanced settings for custom programming and energy efficiency features.
Advanced Features and Settings
The LuxPro thermostat offers advanced features for enhanced comfort and energy efficiency. Program custom schedules with 5/1/1-day or 7-day settings to automate temperature adjustments. Utilize energy-saving modes to optimize heating and cooling usage. The dual-fuel switch allows seamless integration with hybrid systems, while humidity control maintains indoor air quality. Access advanced settings via the touchpad or compatible smart home systems. Enable features like geofencing, remote access, and smart recovery to maximize efficiency. Use the air filter reminder and maintenance alerts to ensure system longevity. Explore these settings to personalize your comfort experience and reduce energy consumption effectively.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Identify and resolve common issues with your LuxPro thermostat by checking error messages, verifying battery levels, and ensuring proper wiring connections. Resetting the device may often fix problems.
Common Error Messages and Solutions
Your LuxPro thermostat may display error messages like “LO BATT” (low battery) or “OUT” (outdoor temperature sensor issue). For “LO BATT”, replace batteries with Duracell or Energizer alkaline. If “OUT” appears, check sensor connections. “HUM” indicates humidity issues; ensure proper venting. For any error, try resetting the thermostat by removing batteries for 30 seconds. If issues persist, consult the manual or contact LuxPro support at 856-234-8803. Always verify wiring and system compatibility to avoid recurring problems.
How to Reset the Thermostat
To reset your LuxPro thermostat, follow these steps. First, remove the batteries from the back of the device. Wait for 30 seconds to ensure all power is drained. Reinstall the batteries, ensuring they are Duracell or Energizer alkaline. The thermostat will now reset to its default settings. If your model is hardwired, switch off the power at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds before restoring it. Resetting is useful for resolving error messages or starting fresh with factory settings. Note that this will erase all custom settings, requiring you to reconfigure the thermostat afterward.
By following the guidelines in this manual, you can ensure optimal performance and longevity of your LuxPro thermostat.
