Welcome
Getting set up and ready is simple. Read before installing.
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
fireplace, or with 120/240 volt systems such
as baseboard electric heat.
1.1 Switch OFF power to your
heating/cooling system
1.1a Important! To protect your
equipment, switch OFF the
power to your heating/
cooling system at the
breaker box or the system
switch.
1.1b Confirm power is OFF.
Try to turn on heating/
cooling equipment by
changing temperature
on your old thermostat.
Your power is OFF if your
system does not turn ON.

reference.
1.2b If no wire is connected to a
terminal labeled C or no C
terminal exists on the old
thermostat, view the

wire, your thermostat will
not power up.
1.3 Label wires
Do not label by wire color.
Use the supplied sticky tags to label
each wire as you disconnect it. Label
wires according to old thermostat
terminal designations, not by wire
color.
Note: If no tag matches a terminal
designation, write the appropriate
letter on a blank sticky tag.
Note: Wrap the wires around a pencil
to prevent them from falling back into
the wall.
1.4 Remove wallplate
Remove the old wallplate from
the wall after all wires are
labeled and disconnected.
