• Always turn off power to the air conditioning or heating system prior to
installing, removing, cleaning or servicing thermostat.
• This thermostat requires either 24 Volts AC Power or two (2) properly installed
“AA” alkaline batteries for normal operation and control of the heating or
cooling system.
• This thermostat requires two (2) properly installed “AA” alkaline batteries to
retain clock setting in the event of loss of AC Power due to a power outage or
rolling blackouts when used as a hardwired thermostat.
• This thermostat should only be used as described in this manual. Any other
use is not recommended and will void the warranty.

Replacing Existing Thermostat
Most thermostats have three parts:
• The cover, which may snap or hinge over the existing thermostat.
• The electronics or body, which controls the existing system.
• The sub-base, where the wires attach through the wall to the existing system.
1. Always turn off power to the air conditioning and heating system prior to
removing existing thermostat.
2. Carefully remove the cover and electronics body from the old thermostat
sub-base. Depending on the brand, these parts may pull off or need to be
unscrewed. The old sub-base should remain wired and on the wall until steps
4 and 5.
3. Label every old wire with the letter of the connection to which the wire is
attached. Example letters are R, M, and Y etc. Depending on the brand of the
old thermostat, your letters may be different.
4. After labeling the old wires, loosen each connection and remove them from old
sub-base. Secure the wires to prevent them from slipping into the hole in the wall.
5. Remove the old sub-base from the wall, again being careful that the wires do
not slip into the hole in the wall.
6. Use the chart below to determine the new thermostat connections. As an
example, if the old thermostat had a G or F connection, it goes to G on the new
thermostat. Using a pencil and the chart below, circle the letter of each wire
removed from the old thermostat.
