OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT
Before you begin programming your thermostat,
you should be familiar with its features and with the
display and the location and operation of the ther-
mostat buttons. The information in this section will
help you become familiar with your new thermostat
so that you can easily program it.
Your thermostat consists of two parts: the thermo-
stat body and the subbase.
Remove power from the system at the
circuit breaker/fuse box before removing
or attaching the thermostat body. Equip-
ment damage and/or personal injury could
occur.
The subbase is attached to the wall, but you can
remove the thermostat body for easy program-
ming. To remove the thermostat body from the
subbase, grasp the thermostat body and gently
pull it straight out from the subbase. To attach the
thermostat body, line up the three terminal pins on
the lower section of the thermostat back with the
matching connector on the subbase. Insert these,
then gently pivot the thermostat body up to connect
the six pin connectors on the upper portion of the
thermostat back. Gently push until the snap con-
nectors engage. DO NOT FORCE OR PRY THE
THERMOSTAT, as this may damage the unit.
CAUTION !
