Hold down either button to quickly advance the time. Once the time is set, use the same arrow buttons to adjust the date (month and day). The thermostat will automatically adjust for daylight saving time if enabled.
The VisionPRO 8000 thermostat also allows you to set the time zone. You can manually select your time zone from a list of available options.

The time and date settings are crucial for proper operation of the thermostat, ensuring that programmed schedules and alerts function correctly.
Setting the Fan
The Honeywell VisionPRO 8000 thermostat allows you to control the fan settings for your HVAC system. The fan setting determines when the fan runs, circulating air throughout your home. You can choose between “Auto,” “On,” and “Circulate.” “Auto” mode means the fan runs only when the heating or cooling system is active. “On” mode keeps the fan running continuously, even when the HVAC system is not in use. This can be beneficial for improving air quality and distributing air more evenly throughout the house.
“Circulate” is a unique fan setting that allows you to run the fan for a specific duration. This can be helpful if you want to circulate air without turning on the heating or cooling system, for example, after cooking or if you want to freshen up the air. To adjust the fan settings, navigate to the “Fan” menu on the thermostat. You can then select the desired setting using the arrow buttons and confirm your selection with the “DONE” button. Remember to consider your individual needs and preferences when choosing the fan setting that best suits your home and comfort levels.
Programming Schedules

To program your schedules, navigate to the “Schedule” menu on the thermostat. You can then select the desired day and adjust the temperature settings for different times of the day. The thermostat will prompt you to enter the desired temperature and time for each schedule segment. You can also use the “Preset Energy-Saving Schedules” option to automatically create schedules based on common energy-saving patterns. These preset schedules are designed to optimize your HVAC system’s performance and reduce energy consumption. Once your schedules are programmed, the thermostat will automatically adjust the temperature settings according to your preferences, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency throughout the week.
Preset Energy-Saving Schedules

These schedules are pre-programmed with common energy-saving patterns that can help you save money on your energy bills. You can choose from a variety of preset schedules, such as “Away,” “Sleep,” and “Home,” based on your specific needs and preferences. The “Away” schedule, for example, lowers the temperature when you are away from home, reducing energy usage. The “Sleep” schedule sets a comfortable temperature for sleeping, while the “Home” schedule maintains a comfortable temperature for when you are at home. You can also customize these preset schedules to further optimize them for your specific needs.
The thermostat’s user-friendly interface allows you to easily navigate through the preset energy-saving schedules and select the one that best suits your lifestyle.
