from the wall.
When connecting the wires to the new
thermostat, refer to the wire labels. Do not
connect wires to your new thermostat based on

Step 7. Connect Wires to New Wallplate
1. Match the labeled wires to the letter designations
on the wallplate.
2. Select the correct letter designations to follow for
your system. If you have a standard heating and/or
cooling system, use the CONVENTIONAL letter
designations. If you have a heat pump system, use
the HEAT PUMP letter designations to wire the new
thermostat.
See table on page 29 to help you determine if
you have a CONVENTIONAL or HEAT PUMP
system.

If wires will be connected to both RCand R on the new thermostat,
remove metal jumper wire between RCand R. Leave metal jumper
wire in place if only one of the terminals, RCor R, will be connected
on the new thermostat.
If wires were connected to both R and RH terminals on the old
thermostat, remove metal jumper wire between RCand R on the
new thermostat. Connect the old R to the new RC and the old RH
to the new R.
If two C and/or C1 wires were connected to the old thermostat, do
not connect them to the new thermostat. Wrap the bare end of
each wire separately with electrical tape and do not use.
If one C and/or C1 wire was connected to the old thermostat, the
wire should be connected to the "C" letter designation on the new
thermostat.
