You would lower it. Make the setpoint the temp you want it to be at night.

Using this example:
Setting Time Heat Cool Wake 6:00 a.m. 71=B0 77=B0 Day 8:00 a.m. Setback 8=B0 Setup 7=B0 Evening 6:00 p.m. 71=B0 77=B0 Sleep 10:00 p.m. Setback 8=B0 Setup 4=B0
Following the "Setup" and "Setback" numbers, would these "Set-points" be correct:
Setting Time Heat Cool Wake 6:00 a.m. 71=B0 77=B0 Day 8:00 a.m. 63=B0 84=B0 Evening 6:00 p.m. 71=B0 77=B0 Sleep 10:00 p.m. 63=B0 71=B0

On a Totaline Programmable 5-2 Day Digital Thermostat (Model p474-1035), should the "Mode Switch" (on the front of the thermostat) be set to "Heat", "Cool" or "Off" to heat and cool at the set times? [The "Program Switch" (at the side of the thermostat) is on "Run"].

I think you should read and understand the owners manual. Obviously you haven't done that.

The manual says that "If the Program Switch is in the OFF position, the thermostat will not run the time period programming".
So it doesn't matter how the "Mode Switch" is set.

The manual says that "If the Program Switch is in the OFF position, the thermostat will not run the time-period programming" but the manual fails to say that it doesn't matter how the "Mode Switch" is set.

If set to heat, the heater will run at the programmed settings if set to cool, the a/c will run at the programmed settings if off the heater will not run at all

Whoops!
If set to heat, the heater will run at the programmed settings if set to cool, the a/c will run at the programmed settings if off, neither the heater or a/c will run

First adjust the "capslock" setting.

Let me be a little clearer. Do you understand the meaning of "OFF?" "OFF" means it ain't gonna work no matter what any other switch or setting is set to. Before you go back and read the book again you need to enroll in, and successfully complete, a remedial reading class. It's times like these that I bet you wished you paid more attention in school, huh?

The Mode Switch (on the front of the thermostat) has three positions: 'Heat', 'Cool' and 'Off'.
The Program Switch (on the right side of the thermostat) has three positions: 'Run', 'Off' and 'Set'.
If (according to your reply) the thermostat won't work in the 'Off' position, why are there TWO 'Off' positions? Wouldn't one be enough?

Tradeline is very confusing 'stat. You look at it as two part. One is system(cool, heat) one is programming (set, run) I have a Tradeline wireless 'stat as a backup for Honeywell one in use. Usually system switch should have cool, heat or auto.

Hi, No brainer for that. When stuff is made in China and Chinese written English manual is at best very frustrating and confusing.

If you can return that 'stat return it and get a Honeywell vision Pro
8000. You'll love this 'stat. Easy to understand and easy to set up. No more frustration. I have wireless Totaline one and I retired as a back up to my Honeywell wireless one. Totaline manual really sucks. (probably written by Chinese)- Vote on answer

Play with it, experiment with it. Is that so hard to figure out and prove what is what?

Toss it and get a $25 thermostat. At bedtime, set it to the temperature you want it. Those programmables can get out of sync too easily, and be on when you're gone, or don't want it on. They are very complex to program. Unless you have the same exact schedule all the time, there will be times when it comes on or doesn't come in error. I had an 800 dollar electric bill in one of my vacation rentals in Vegas. Changed to the $25 manual thermostat, and next month was $135.
