    Unplug your Herpstat and hold the left button. Plug it back in and release it. It should flash and then you will start with Fea or Cel, then Heat/Cool, and then Prop/On-Off, then the prop curve which shows as Std. You can change the value up and down to (Lo1, Lo2, <<Std>>, Hi1, Hi2) This changes the proportional curve of heating. The less efficient your enclosure is, the higher this setting should be. If you find the thermostat overshooting the number a lot you probably want to drop the next lowest setting. If it spends most of the time under your setting you need to increase it. After playing with this I was able to reduce my temp from 97 like it shows in my gallery to 93. I still get the same 89-91 temp but it is much more stable and at a lower temp! Don't mess with any of the temp settings after the proportional curve. These are designed for night drop and matching the thermostat to other equipments sensors. PM me if you need more help.
