Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of a Honeywell
Wi-Fi Colour touchscreen programmable thermostat.
When registered to Honeywell’s Total Connect
Comfort Solutions, you can remotely monitor and
control the heating and cooling system in your home
or business—you can stay connected to your comfort
system wherever you go.
Honeywell’s Total Connect Comfort is the perfect
solution if you travel frequently, own a vacation home,
a business, or manage an investment property or if
you are simply looking for peace of mind.
This thermostat works with common 24 volt systems such as forced air, hydronic,
heat pump, oil, gas, and electric. It will not work with millivolt systems, such as a
gas replace, or with 120/240 volt systems such as baseboard electric heat.
MERCURY NOTICE: Please do not dispose of your old thermostat with
other household refuge as it may contain mercury. Please help to protect the
environment by recycling your old thermostat and batteries in accordance with
local regulations.
NOTICE: To avoid possible compressor damage, do not run air conditioner if the
outside temperature drops below 50°F (10°C).
Need help?
Visit getconnected.honeywell.com/me or call [phone] for assistance before

Important! C wire is required
and is the power source for your

3 Label the wires.
Use the supplied sticky tags
to label each wire as you
disconnect it. Label wires
according to the old thermostat
terminal designations, not by
wire colour.
Note: If no tag matches a
terminal designation, write the
appropriate letter on a blank
sticky tag.
4 Remove wallplate.
Remove the old wallplate from
the wall after all wires have been
labelled and disconnected.

5 Mount wallplate for Wi-Fi
thermostat.
Mount your new wallplate
using screws and anchors
included with the thermostat.
If necessary:
Drill 4.5mm holes for drywall.
Drill 5.5mm holes for plaster.
Note: You may be able to use
your existing wall anchors. Hold
the wallplate up to the existing
anchors to check for alignment.

Important! The Wi-Fi thermostat requires a C wire to operate. The C, or common, wire
brings 24 VAC power to the thermostat. Many older mechanical or battery operated
thermostats do not require a C wire. If you don’t have a C wire, try:
• Looking for an unused wire that is pushed into the wall. Connect that wire to C and
check that it is connected to the 24 VAC common at your heating/cooling system.
Check the video section at withermostat.com
Note: Not all heating/cooling systems label the 24 VAC common C. Check your system
manual or contact the manufacturer to nd out which terminal is the 24 VAC common.
