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.
pIdentify Wires 3.

polarity.
3) Reinstall the battery cover. You will hear a clicking
sound.

temperature once it is installed on the wall. By default,
the setpoint is 70 °F (21 °C).
