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

labels to identify each wire. Don't worry about any
non-connected wires.

using screws; simply loosen each screw with a screwdriver.
Remove your old thermostat base by unscrewing it from the
wail. Be careful not to let any wire labels fall off or wires fall
back into the wall.

If the small backptate does not cover the marks left by your old
thermostat, you can use the large backptate instead.

squeezing the tab on the front, left side while gently pushing
the back toward you.
Insert the terminal blocks into the large backplate using the
tabs on the right as a guide. It will snap into place when
