To attach thermostat to subbase, line up the plastic snap
guides at the bottom of the thermostat and the three
connector pins on the thermostat with the connectors
near the bottom left section of the subbase (when viewed
from the front). Gently pivot the thermostat up until the six
pin connectors and the plastic snaps lock into place (see
fig. 9). Be gentle when attaching thermostat. If the
thermostat does not seem to be attaching to the subbase
easily, make sure that the connector pins and plastic
snaps are properly aligned, and that excess wire is
pushed into the wall. Damage to the thermostat may
occur if force is used.

Figure 9. Attaching thermostat to subbase
CAUTION !
5. Move subbase out of the way. Drill mounting holes.
6. Fasten subbase loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 3,
using two mounting screws. Place a level against
bottom of subbase, adjust until level, and then tighten
screws. (Leveling is for appearance only and will not
affect thermostat operation.) If you are using existing
mounting holes, or if holes drilled are too large and do
not allow you to tighten subbase snugly, use plastic
expansion plugs to secure subbase.
7. Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire-
resistant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to
prevent drafts from affecting thermostat operation.
ATTACH THERMOSTAT TO SUBBASE
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PROGRAM THE
THERMOSTAT WITH BATTERIES INSTALLED BE-
FORE ATTACHING ON SUBBASE (see OPERATION
GUIDE for programming instructions).
POWER TO THERMOSTAT MUST BE OFF BE-
FORE ATTACHING THERMOSTAT TO WALL.
FAILURE TO TURN OFF POWER BEFORE AT-
TACHING THERMOSTAT MAY CAUSE EQUIP-
MENT DAMAGE DUE TO RAPID COMPRESSOR
CYCLING.
