Read This Before Installing Thermostat
IMPORTANT
1Read the entire installation section of this Owner’s Manual thoroughly before you begin
to install or operate your Hunter Thermostat.
REMOVE THE MYLAR LABEL FROM THE LCD DISPLAY
WINDOW.
INSTALLATION
2All installation is normally performed at your thermostat.
ARMCHAIR PROGRAMMING
3You can program your thermostat before
installation by inserting the batteries and following
the instructions starting on page 16.This can be done
while you relax in your favorite chair and is a very
good way to familiarize yourself with all the functions
of your Hunter Thermostat.
OPERATION
4Your Thermostat is designed to operate with most gas, oil, electric or 2-wire hot water heating
and air conditioning systems. It will also operate
single-stage heat pumps that do not have auxiliary
or emergency heat. These have 24-volt or millivolt
control systems and represent most central heating,
air conditioning, or space heating units in use in the
United States.
This Hunter Thermostat will NOT control multi-
stage heat pumps or 110/220 Volt systems.
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION
5The thermostat provides a 3.5 minute delay after shutting off the heating or cooling system before
it can be restarted. This feature will prevent damage
to your compressor caused by rapid cycling. Note
that this delay also applies to the heating system
control. It does not prevent a rapid compressor re-
start due to short power outages.
TEMPERATURE RANGE
6Your thermostat can be programmed between 4°C and 35°C (45°F and 95°F). However, it will
display room temperatures from 0°C and 37°C (32°F
to 99°F). “HI” will be displayed if the temperature is
higher than 37°C (99°F), and “LO” will be displayed
if the temperature is lower than 0°C (32°F).
This thermostat will automatically cut off in Heat
mode if the temperature rises above 35°C (95°F),
and automatically cut off in cool mode if the tem-
perature drops below 7°C (45°F).

POWER FAILURE
7Whenever the main power is interrupted or fails, the battery power retains the programs and cur-
rent time.
AUTO RECOVERY
8Your thermostat is set from the factory to gradually
recover the room temperature from an energy sav-
ing program to your comfort program.Therefore, the
thermostat may turn your system on several minutes
prior to your programmed time. This operation is nor-
mal, but can be turned off. Refer to the Selector
Switches information on page 24.
BATTERY WARNING
9Fresh alkaline batteries should provide over one
year of service. However, when the batteries be-
come drained, the Low Battery indicator will flash on
the display. When this message occurs, install 2 new
AA batteries. You have approximately 1 minute to
change the batteries and keep thermostat’s clock and
program settings. Once the batteries have become too
low to ensure proper operation, your system will be
turned Off, and the display will be cleared except for
the Low Battery indicator flashing on the LCD display.
CAUTION:
Once the Low Battery only display oc-
curs, the thermostat is shut down, and your sys-
tem will no longer operate. In this condition,
there is no temperature control of your dwelling.
NOTE: If you plan to be away from the premises
over 30 days, we recommend that you replace
the old batteries with new alkaline batteries
prior to leaving.

INSTALLATION
What You Need
This thermostat includes two #8 screws and two wall
anchors for mounting. To install your thermostat, you
should have the following tools and materials.
■Phillips and Slotted Screwdrivers
■Hammer
■Electric drill and 3/16" bit
■Two 1.5 V (AA) size alkaline batteries
Remove Old Thermostat
CAUTION: Do not remove any wiring from exist-
ing thermostat before reading the instructions
carefully. WIRES MUST BE LABELED PRIOR TO
REMOVAL.
■IMPORTANT! Turn off the power to the furnace at
the main power panel or at the furnace.
■Remove existing thermostat cover. See Figure 1.
Some thermostats will have screws or other lock-
ing devices that must first be removed. Once wall
mounting plate is exposed, look for wires.
If wires are not visible, they may be connected to the
back of the wallplate. Again, look for screws, tabs,
etc. Some models have doors that open to expose
wires and mounting screws. (See Figure 1).

Wire Labeling
■ Each wire coming from the wall to the existing
thermostat is connected to a terminal point on
that thermostat. Each of these terminal points is
usually marked with a code letter as shown in
Table A on the next page.
■Note that this thermostat has multiple function
terminals that allow Single-Stage Heat Pump ca-
pability. Standard systems use: Rh, Rc, G, W.
[Single-Stage Heat Pumps use: Rh, Y1, G, and O or
B.] Table A below shows the multiple functions of
the terminals. Use the terminals that match your
system.
■The number of wires in your system can be as few
as two (for heat only systems), as many as eight,
or any number in between. If you follow the label-
ing procedures correctly, you do not have to be
concerned about how many wires there are.
■There is often no ter-
minal marking on the
existing thermostat of
two wire, heat only
systems. Just connect
either of the wires to
the RH terminal, then
connect the other wire
to the W terminal to
complete the circuit.
■IMPORTANT! BEFORE DISCONNECTING ANY
WIRES, APPLY THE SELF-ADHESIVE LABELS PRO-
VIDED TO THE WIRE AS SHOWN IN TABLE A ON
THE NEXT PAGE. (For example, attach the label
marked W to the wire that goes to the W or H
terminal on your existing thermostat.) IGNORE
THE COLOR OF THE WIRES since these do not
always comply with the standard.
■After labeling wires, disconnect them from the
existing thermostat terminals.
■Remove existing wallplate. To make sure wires do
not fall back into wall opening, you may want to
tape them to the wall.
■If hole in wall is larger than necessary for wires,
seal this hole with insulating material so that no
hot or cold air can enter the back of the thermo-
stat from the wall.This air could cause a false
thermostat reading.
