Part 2 Remove Old Thermostat and
Install New Thermostat
Do not disconnect wires from the old thermostat until you
label all the wires according to this manual.
2.1.1After turning off power to your heating & cooling system,
expose wallplate with wires and wire terminals. The required
steps vary depending on your old thermostat type.
2.1 Expose wires connected to
old thermostat
✔The Cover: This usually pulls off, but is sometimes secured by a
screw which must be loosened.
✔The Base: This either pulls off or needs to be removed by loosening
screws under the cover.
✔The Wallplate: This is removed by loosening the screws that hold
the thermostat to the wall.
Your old thermostat may consist of:
•3 parts: a cover, base and wallplate
or
•2 parts: a cover and wallplate

✔ Ignore wire colors. There is no standard color code for
thermostat wires.
✔ Ignore existing wire labels, if they are present.
✔ Use the provided labels to label/re-label the thermostat wires.
✔ The new labels must remain on the wires at least until the
installation process is complete.
✔ No two wires can have the same label.
2.2.1 Note you may see two types of wiring in the old thermostat:
1. Wires leading from the wall to a
terminal on the thermostat
2. Wires connecting one terminal to
another (jumper wire).
These don’t have to be labeled.
2.2 Label and disconnect the wires

You’ll need this information further in the installation process!
2.2.2 Label each wire that comes out of the wall and attaches to
terminals on the old thermostat. Use labels provided with your
new thermostat.
1. Note the letter printed near each wired terminal
2. For each out-of-the-wall wire:
– find its terminal letter(s) in the left column of the table
on page 9,
– label the wire according to the right column of the table.
3. Circle all your out-of-the-wall labeled wires in the right column of
the table on page 9:
Mislabeling the wires could result in damage to your
heating and cooling unit.
Contact White-Rodgers™Customer Service at 1-877-654-9394 if:
✔You see RC and RH terminals not jumped together and both
wired into the wall.
✔Your old thermostat contains any wired terminals not listed in the
table on page 9.
Note: No thermostat installation uses all of the wires shown
on page 9. In most cases, between 4 and 5 terminals are wired.

2.2 Label and disconnect the wires (cont.)
Example
If the OLD thermostat’s
terminal is wired into the wall
and identified by this letter…

2.2.3 After labeling all the wires, use a screwdriver to disconnect
each wire from its terminal. Remove the old thermostat.
Make sure that the wires don’t fall
into the wall after you detach them from
the old thermostat. You may choose to
tape them to the wall or tightly wind them
around a pencil or screwdriver.
2.3.1 Detach the new thermostat’s wallplate from the rest of the
thermostat and position the wallplate on the wall according to
the illustration below, passing the labeled wires through the
wire hole in the center of the wallplate.
2.3.2 With the wallplate
flush against the
wall, mark
mounting holes
with a pencil.
2.3 Install new thermostat’s wallplate
Do not allow wires to touch each other or parts on
the thermostat. Doing so could result in damage to your heating and
cooling unit.
2.3.3 Move the wallplate aside. Drill the mounting holes using a 3/16"
drill bit. With a hammer, tap the wall anchors, provided in the
package, into the drilled holes.
2.3.4 Position the wallplate on the wall again and screw the mounting
screws into the wall anchors. Do not use a power screwdriver,
you may damage your thermostat.

2.4 Match and connect wires
2.4.1 Match each wire coming from the wall to its corresponding
terminal, as shown in the illustration below. Insert each wire into
the hole on the side of its matching terminal. Using a screwdriver,
tighten the screw securely. DO NOT REMOVE THE WIRE LABELS.
A maximum of one wire from the wall can be wired
into each terminal.
No thermostat installation uses all of the wires shown below.
In most cases, between 4 and 5 terminals are wired. The remaining
terminals will not be used.

Find two switches located on in the lower right corner of the wallplate
labeled ELE/GAS and O/B. Set them as follows:
2.6 Set Switches
• If you have either a gas or
oil furnace, set the switch to
GAS.
• If you do NOT have either a
gas or oil furnace, set the
switch to ELE (Electric).
• If you have NO wires labeled
O or B, set the switch to O.
• If a wire is labeled O, set this
switch to O.
• If a wire is labeled B, set this
switch to B.
If your HVAC system does NOT include a Heat Pump, continue to 2.6.
If your HVAC system includes a Heat Pump, in addition to wiring
described in point 2.4.1 connect thermostat terminals as shown
below. Use the jumper wires provided in the Heat Pump Kit, included
in the package. Secure the wires in the terminals by tightening the
terminal screws in a clockwise direction.
Install 2 AA alkaline batteries (not included) into the battery
compartment at the top of the thermostat wallplate.
2.8 Snap thermostat to the wallplate
2.7 Install batteries
Do not restore power to the heating and cooling system
until instructed.
To determine if you have a Heat Pump and/or whether it is
a 1-stage or 2-stage model, see the Appendix at the end of this
manual.
