Compatibility Section
• REQUIRED: A CWire (common wire) is needed for 24 VAC power. If you do not have a CWire,
a FREE CWire Adapter offer is included.
This guide will help you determine if you have a CWire or will need to use a CWire Adapter (Step
10). The CWire is a wire that originates from your heating and cooling system and needs to be
connected to the C terminal on your thermostat. There is no universal color used to designate
this type of wire.
• Compatible with most heating/cooling, and heat pump systems
• Does not work with electric baseboard heat (120240V)
• Does not work with millivolt systems
• Does not support S terminals for indoor and outdoor sensors
• Android or iOS smartphone, tablet, or device

Turn off power
To protect your equipment, turn off the power
at the breaker box or switch that controls you
heating and cooling equipment.
Note: The thermostat off switch will not turn off
the power to the equipment.
Check that your system is off
Change the temperature on your old thermostat so
that your system starts heating or cooling.
If you don’t hear or feel the system turn on within 5
minutes, the power is off.
Note: If you have a digital thermostat that has a blank
display, skip this step.
Remove your existing thermostat from the wall
plate
On most thermostats, you can take off the thermostat
by grasping and gently pulling. Some thermostats
may have screws, buttons, or clasps.
Do not remove any wires from your thermostat at
this time!

Take a picture of your existing wall plate’s wiring
In order to capture all of the letters next to the
terminals, be sure to take multiple pictures from
different angles.
You may need to reference this image later.
Do you have a line voltage system?
Line voltage systems have thick black wires with
wire nuts or are labeled high voltage (120V or
higher).
Your system is not compatible. Go to
Resideo.com to find a pro installer in your
area.

Remove any jumpers
A jumper is used to connect two terminals. It may look
like a small staple or a colored wire.
Do not discard.
Keep jumpers with your old wallplate.
Label the wires
Use the stickers provided with your new thermostat to
label each wire on your existing wall plate.
Do not label jumpers. Your new thermostat does not
need jumpers.

8Write down the colors of the wires
Check the boxes and write down the color of the wires connected to terminals that are coming
from the wall. Check all that apply (not all will apply).

* A C-wire or CWire Power Adapter (see included free offer) is required.
** The T9 Smart thermostat cannot control equipment wired to U1 or U2.
If there are wires in terminals that are not listed, you will need additional wiring support. Visit
Resideo.com to find out more.

10 Do you have a CWire?
Look at the thermostat wiring checklist from
Step 8, or the photo you took. Is the CTerminal
checked?
This means you will not need to install a
CWire Adapter. Skip to Installing Your New
Thermostat (page 13).
This means you don’t have a C-wire connected
to your thermostat. Continue to next step.

9Disconnect the wires and remove the old wall
plate
You may need a screwdriver to release wires from
terminals.
Tip: Wrap the wires around a pencil to prevent them
from falling in the wall.

Do you have a zoning panel?
You have a zoning panel if you have multiple
thermostats and one furnace or heating system.
CWire Adapter installation is more complicated
on zoned systems. Go to Resideo.com to find a
pro installer in your area.
Proceed to the next step.
Do you have an unused wire?
Look at the bundle of wires coming from the wall.
Note: You may have to pull the bundle of wires out
from the wall to find the unused wire.
Continue to Step 13.
See the CWire Power Adapter FREE OFFER
included in the thermostat box. Follow the
instructions that come with the CWire Power
Adapter, and then return to page 13 of this
guide to complete the installation.

13 Label unused wire
Label your unused wire with the
provided “C” sticker label. You may need
to use a wire stripper to expose at least
1/4 inch of the wire.
Note: If you have multiple unused wires,
then label only one wire and make note
of the color here:
-
Go to your furnace or heating system
This system is often located in your basement, attic or garage.
Bring a flashlight and screwdriver.
14 Remove cover from furnace or heating system
Open the heating and cooling system’s cover to find
the control board. You should see the same terminal
labels that are on your thermostat.
Note: You may need to unscrew the cover. The
control board may be at the top or bottom.

Connect the unused wire to the C-terminal
Note: If there are existing wires in the C-terminal,
make sure they are still connected to the C-terminal
after connecting this wire.
Find the other end of the unused wire
Locate the bundle of wires that are the same as the
ones at your thermostat.
The unused wire should be the same color as the one
near your existing thermostat. See Step 13 for the
color you wrote down.
Close the cover to the furnace or heating system
Be sure the cover is completely closed. Some systems
will not power up if the cover isn’t fully closed.
You’ve connected the C-wire.
You will NOT need to use a CWire Adapter.

Position wall plate
Pull open the wall plate that was included with your
new thermostat. Insert the bundle of wires through
the back of the wall plate.
Make sure at least 1/4-inch of each wire is exposed
for easy insertion into the wire terminals.
Insert recommended wall anchors
It is recommended that you use the wall anchors included in the box to mount your thermostat.
You can use the wall plate to mark where you want to place the wall anchors.
a) Level the wall plate
b) Mark the location of the wall anchors using a pencil
c) Remove the wall plate
d) Drill anchor holes.
If your box contains red anchors, drill 7/32” holes.
If your box contains yellow anchors, drill 3/16” holes.
e) Insert the wall anchors
f) Make sure the anchors are flush with the wall
g) Reposition the wall plate on wall

Push down on the tabs to put the wires into the inner
holes of their corresponding terminals on the wall
plate (one wire per terminal) until it is firmly in place.
Gently tug on the wires to verify they are secure.
Tip: If you need to release the wires again, push down
the terminal tabs on the sides of the wall plate.
This wiring is just an example,
actual wiring may vary.
