TURN OFF POWER to system at the furnace, or at the fuse/circuit breaker panel.
Select two appropriate mounting holes and mark the locations with a pencil. If
necessary, use a level to make sure the thermostat is leveled.
Carefully unpack your new thermostat and mounting plate; save package of screws,
instructions and receipt.
Remove the back cover from the wall and drill two 3/16" holes in the marked screw
positions.
Remove cover from old thermostat. If it does not snap off when pulled firmly from the
bottom, check for a screw used to secure the cover. Insert the wall anchors into the holes completely. If necessary, use a hammer to
tap-in lightly.
Loosen screws holding thermostat to the wall and lift away the thermostat.
Mount the back cover, with the two screws, to the wall. Make sure the terminals are
on the top-half of the back cover.
Disconnect wires from old thermostat or sub-base. As you disconnect each wire, use
masking tape to label it with the old terminal designation. If there are only two wires,
they don't need to be labeled.
If there is an extra wire that is not connected to your old thermostat, then you won't
need to connect it to the new thermostat.
Take care not to let the wires fall back into the wall or let the ends of the wires touch
one another.

INSTALLATION
CONNECTING THE WIRES TO THE TERMINALS
TURN OFF POWER to system at the furnace, or at the fuse/circuit breaker before wiring.
Connect the previously labeled wires to the corresponding terminals, matching the
designations. Use a screwdriver to securely fasten the wires onto the terminals. Make sure
the wires do not short-circuit with other terminals.
Depending on your heating/cooling equipment, you may
need to connect 2 to 5 wires to the thermostat.
If your old thermostat has a 'C' wire, please wrap it with
electrician's tape as it is not used with this thermostat.
Wires
If you have both an 'R' and 'Rc' wire, you may connect
them together to the 'R' terminal of the thermostat.
If you are unsure of the connections, or for new
installation, you may refer to the wiring diagrams below.

Depending on your home's heating system, you may need to change the jumper setting for
the fan operation. The jumper is located above the battery compartment.
HG - Use this setting for gas or oil-fired furnaces. This setting allows the fan
operation to be controlled by the heating system; not the thermostat. This is the
correct setting for most systems.
