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.
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.
Identify Wires
Do not use
non-connected wires.
Do not use Cor C1 wires
Identify and label each wire.
IGNORE WIRE COLORS:
Use terminal screw
designations to identify
wires.

2) Install the batteries as shown. Observe the
polarity.
3) Reinstall the battery cover. You will hear a clicking
sound.
After the batteries are installed, the thermostat per-
forms a series of tests for approximately 5 seconds.

higher than the ambient temperature if you are holding
the thermostat. The thermostat will display the ambi-
ent temperature once it is installed on the wall. By
default, the setpoint is 70 °F (21 °C).
