GETTING STARTED
Safety Considerations
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance, or use
can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which may
cause death, personal injury or property damage. Consult a qualified
installer, service agency or your distributor or branch for information or
assistance. The qualified installer or agency must use factory--authorized
kits or accessories when modifying this HVAC system. Refer to the
individual instructions packaged with the kits or accessories when
installing.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and
work gloves. Have a fire extinguisher available. Read these instructions
thoroughly and follow all warnings and cautions included in literature
and attached to the unit. Consult local building codes and the current
edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) NFPA 70. In Canada, refer
to the current editions of the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1.
Recognize safety information. When you see this symbol on the unit
and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
injury. Understand the signal words DANGER,WARNING,and
CAUTION. These words are used with the safety--alert symbol.

INSTALLATION
There are 5 steps to install the thermostat:
Step 1 — Power Off HVAC Equipment
Step 2 — Remove Existing Thermostat
Step 3 — Install the Wi--Fi Thermostat
Step 4 — Connect the Wiring
Step 5 — Power On HVAC Equipment
Step 1. Power Off HVAC Equipment
Before disconnecting the existing thermostat, or installing the Comfort
Series Wi--Fi Thermostat, disconnect the power to the heating and air
conditioning equipment.
Step 2. Remove Existing Thermostat
Disconnect the wires to the existing thermostat and remove it from the
wall.
Step 3. Install the Comfort Series Wi--Fi Thermostat
The ideal location for the thermostat is approximately 5 ft (1.5 m) above
floor level in the main living area.
Do not install the thermostat:
dClose to sources of heat such as incandescent lights
dNear supply heating/cooling sources
dIn direct sunlight
dOn exterior, non--insulated or poorly insulated walls
dIn the kitchen or other areas of potentially high heat and/or hu-
midity
dIn an area that could restrict air flow

9
To install the thermostat:
3. Gently separate the backplate from the thermostat.
4. Place the thermostat backplate on the wall. Make sure that any ex-
isting wires can be inserted through the opening on the backplate.
5. Using the backplate as a template, mark the location of the mount-
ing holes on the wall as shown below.

6. Move the backplate out of the way and make holes where indicat-
ed in Step 3. The mounting holes can accommodate a #6 pan--
head screw. It is recommended to use the included fasteners to en-
sure proper fitting of the front housing.
7. Use the included drywall plugs (or other suitable anchors) to en-
sure the thermostat can be mounted securely to the wall.
8. Fasten the backplate to the wall using the screws provided (or oth-
er suitable screws).

10
Step 4. Connect the Wiring
You need to use low--voltage cable to connect the thermostat to the
HVAC equipment. Check the wiring diagrams on the proceeding pages
for the number of wires required.
NOTE: There is a factory installed jumper between R/H and R/C.
Ensure any unused wires do not have exposed bare copper conductors.
To connect the thermostat to the equipment:
1. Connect the wires as shown in the wiring diagrams.
2. Attach the The Comfort Series Wi--Fi Thermostat to the backplate.
Ensure that the pins on the thermostat align with the terminal
block on the backplate.
