2. Note if either of the following apply to your old thermostat:
a. If you do not have a wire connected to C, two alkaline AA batter-
ies are required.
b. If you have wires connected to Rh and Rc and C, you’ll use two
breakers or switches to disconnect power in Step 2.
3. If you find that you have additional wires labeled anything other than
those shown in the diagram below – STOP and review to see if this
model thermostat is compatible with your system

120V, or is connected by thick wires and wire nuts,
it is a high voltage system and is not compatible
STEP 2. POWER OFF YOUR HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM
1. Turn off the power to your heating and cooling system.
a. You can do this either at your circuit breaker box or a switch at
your indoor furnace or fan coil.
b. Most systems have one switch, but some systems or systems
with Rh and Rc and C wires noted in Step 1 will have two switch-
es.
2. Make sure your system is without power by using your old thermostat
to adjust the temperature. Your system should not turn on.
