To ensure the power to your heating and cooling system has been turned off, try to turn on heating or cooling by changing the temperature on your old thermostat.
Remove the old thermostat cover
Remove the old thermostat’s front cover from the wall base. Some covers pull off easily, while others may need to be removed by prying the cover off with a screwdriver.
WARNING
Your old thermostat may have a sealed glass tube containing mercury. Be careful not to damage the tube or dispose of the tube in your trash.
For safe disposal information, please see Mercury Notice on page 43.
Label wires
Tip: Taking a picture with a camera or smartphone can help you not only remember how wires are connected to the terminals but can also ensure that you label your wires correctly.
Using your screwdriver, carefully unscrew one wire at a time from the terminal block and attach the corresponding wire label sticker.
Please note that not all terminals may be used and that there’s no standard colour code for thermostat wires, so your wire colors may vary. For your reference, we’ve included a terminal label reference chart on page 7 to help you connect the wires in your old thermostat to your new thermostat in case you get stuck.
Terminal labelling reference chart
If your current terminal has the following letter | Label the wires with the following letters | Terminal function |
RH, R, R5, 5 | RH | 24V Power (Heating) |
RC | RC | 24V Power (Cooling) |
W, W1, 4 | W | Heating Relay |
Y, Y1 | Y | Cooling Relay |
G | G | Fan Relay |
O | O | Reversing Valve (for heat pump applications energized in Cool mode) |
B | B | Reversing Valve (for heat pump applications energized in Heat mode) |
Identify jumper wire
On your old thermostat, if… | Then, on your new thermostat… |
Terminal RC and RH are connected with a jumper wire | Leave the jumper wire in its place |
There’s only one R wire (RC, RH, R or R5) coming out of the wall | Leave the jumper wire in its place |
Terminal RC and RH (or 5 or R5) are NOT connected by a jumper wire | Remove the jumper wire between RC and RH |
For terminals Y and W:
Remove old thermostat base
With all of your wires disconnected and properly labeled, you may now safely remove the thermostat base from your wall.
Tip: Worried about having your wires falling into your wall? Keep the wires secure by wrapping the them around a pencil.
Install new thermostat base
Mount your new thermostat base using the supplied screws. Drill holes and insert wall anchors to secure the thermostat base to the wall, if necessary.
Connect wires to corresponding terminal blocks
Match each labelled wire to it’s corresponding terminal on the mounted thermostat base. Insert each labeled wire into the hole of it’s matching terminal, and using the screwdriver, tighten the screw on the terminal block securely.
CAUTION Take care when securing and routing wires so they do not short to adjacent terminals or the rear of the thermostat. Personal injury and/or property damage may occur.
Set switch and advanced wiring
If you have an electric furnace, set the switch to ELEC.
Install the batteries and attach the front cover
Install the included AAA alkaline batteries and push the front cover on to the thermostat base until it’s secure.
Turn on power
Turn on your power at the source.

Heating system
CAUTION To prevent compressor and/or property damage, if the outdoor temperature is below 50°, DO NOT operate the cooling system
Before you begin programming your thermostat, you should be familiar with its features and with the display and the location and operation of the thermostat buttons. Your thermostat consists of two parts: the thermostat cover and the base. To remove the cover, pull it straight out from the base. To replace the cover, line up the cover with the base and press until the cover snaps onto the base.
The configuration menu allows you to set certain thermostat operating characteristics to your system or personal requirements.
Press RUN to make sure the thermostat is in the run program mode, then press PRGM and RUN at the same time to enter the configuration menu. The display will show the first item in the configuration menu.
The configuration menu table summarizes the configuration options. An explanation of each option follows.
Press HOLD to change to the next menu item or press TIME to go backwards to the previous item in the menu. To exit the menu and return to the program operation, press RUN. If no keys are pressed within fifteen minutes, the thermostat will revert to normal operation.
Operating features
This section contains information about the many features of your new thermostat.
Programming your thermostat
This section will help you plan your thermostat’s program to meet your needs. For maximum comfort and efficiency, keep the following guidelines in mind when planning your program:
Planning your program
Look at the factory pre-programmed times and temperatures shown in the sample schedule. If this program will suit your needs, simply press the RUN button to begin running the factory preset program.
If you want to change the pre-programmed times and temperatures, follow these steps.
Determine the periods and temperatures for your weekday and weekend programs. You must program
four periods for both the weekday and weekend programs. However, you may use the same heating and cooling temperatures for consecutive time periods. You can choose start times, heating temperatures, and cooling
temperatures independently for both weekday and weekend programs (for example, you may select 5:00 AM and 70° as the weekday 1st period heating start time and temperature, and also choose 7:00 AM and 76° as the weekday 1st period cooling start time and temperature).
SAMPLEHeating/Cooling Schedule Plan (Factory Program)
Use the following table to plan your program periods and the temperatures you want during each period. Fill in the complete table to have a record of your programs.
Heating/Cooling Schedule Plan
Entering your program
Follow these steps to enter the heating and cooling programs you have selected.
Set Current Time and Day
Set Heating Program
Set Cooling Program
CAUTION If the outside temperature is below 50° F, disconnect power to the cooling system before programming. Energizing the air conditioner compressor during cold weather may cause personal injury or property damage.
Check your programming
Follow these steps to check your thermostat programming one final time before beginning thermostat operation.
