The Progressive Recovery feature allows the thermostat to activate the heating and cooling equipment prior to an  
event in order to reach the desired temperature at the start of the next scheduled event.  
Example: if the wAkE time is 6 am, and the temperature is 70°, the heat will come on before 6 am, so the  
temperature is 70° by the time you wake at 6 am.
