If any wires are not attached to your old thermostat or
are attached to a terminal marked Cor C1, they will not
be connected to your new thermostat. Wrap the bare
metal end of each of these wires with electrical tape, so it
cannot touch and short other wires.
Identify Wires
Disconnect wires and remove the old wallplate only after
all wires are labeled. Wrap the wires around a pencil to
prevent them from falling though the wall opening.
Do not use non-connected
wires.
Do not use C or C1 wires.
Identify and label each wire.
IGNORE WIRE COLORS:
Use terminal screw
designations to identify
wires.
