UNINSTALLING THE EXISTING UNIT
1. Turn the system power OFF at the existing thermostat. Turn the power to the
HVAC system OFF at the main power panel or at the furnace.
(Failure to turn off the power to the existing thermostat before removal could damage your
system.)
2. Remove the existing thermostat cover to access the wires from the wall. (Some
thermostats may have multiple covers, screws or other locking devices that must
be removed or disengaged.)
3. Locate, but do not disconnect the wires.
(If wires are not visible, they may be connected to the back of the wall plate. Some models may
have doors that open to expose the wires and mounting screws.)
4. Do not let the wires slip back into the wall during disconnection. You may want to
secure the wires to the wall as you disconnect them. After all wires are labeled,
disconnect each wire and remove the existing wall plate. (Any unused wires
should be capped with an approved electrical connector, such as electrical tape.)

5. Using the provided stickers, label each wire according to the chart.
If the terminals are not labeled, contact a qualified HVAC technician.
NOTE: Wire colors do not always comply with standards; therefore, wire color should be ignored.
Refer to the existing terminal designation for proper identification.
If wires marked “Y” or “C” are both present, “C” may be a Common wire and provides 24 VAC
power to the unit. Connecting it greatly extends battery life. If there is no "C" wire, the thermostat
will run on battery power.

MOUNTING THE WALL PLATE
1. Remove the wall plate from the Hunter thermostat by gently pulling the wall plate
from the back of the thermostat.
2. Position the new wall plate on the wall horizontally and pull the labeled wires
through the opening.
3. If the existing holes do not match those on the Hunter thermostat wall plate or, if
there are no existing holes, visually level the wall plate and mark the wall for two
holes.

5. Tap the plastic anchors into the holes until they are flush with the wall.
6. Reposition the wall plate on the wall, pulling the wires through the wall plate
opening. Insert the mounting screws through the wall plate and into the anchors.

CONNECTING THE WIRES
1. Loosen, but do not remove the terminal screws.
NOTE: A jumper wire is provided, connecting the RH and RC terminals for systems that do not have
both an RH and RC wire. If you have both an RH and RC wire, remove this jumper; otherwise, leave
the jumper in place.
2. Complete wiring diagrams for Conventional HVAC Systems and Heat Pump
Systems are provided on pages 72-74. Match and connect the wires from the wall
to the terminals as shown. Insert wires behind the black terminal shield. Tighten
each screw after the connection is made.
3. Wrap the ends of any extra wires individually in electrical tape and carefully push
them into the wall. Push any excess wire length back into the wall to prevent
interference.

ATTACHING THE THERMOSTAT
1. Insert three AA alkaline batteries into the back of the thermostat.
2. Place the thermostat over the wall plate, aligning it over the terminal and battery
openings. Press the thermostat to the wall plate and it will snap into place.
NOTE: Do not force the thermostat onto the wall plate as this may damage the terminal pins. If the
thermostat does not snap into place easily, the unit may not work.
3. Restore power at the electrical panel and/or furnace.
