- Compatible with hot water baseboard systems. Does not work efficiently on steam or gravity systems.
- Acquire tools and items as needed (see illustration). Also, purchase two AA alkaline batteries; we recommend Energizer® batteries.
Step 2. Remove Old Thermostat
- Test to be sure your heating and cooling systems are working properly. If either does not work, contact your local heating/air conditioning dealer. To avoid compressor damage, do not operate the cooling system when the outdoor temperature is below 50°F (10°C).
- Turn off power to the system at the furnace, or at the fuse/circuit breaker panel.
- Carefully unpack your new thermostat and mounting plate, saving the package of screws, instructions, and receipt.
- Remove the cover from the old thermostat. If it does not snap off when pulled firmly from the bottom, check for a screw used to lock on the cover.
- Rosen screws holding thermostat to subbase, wallplate, or wall, and lift away.
- disconnect wires from the old thermostat or subbase. As you disconnect each wire, attach one of the enclosed labels to each old terminal designation. If there are only two wires, they do not need labeling. If there is an extra wire that is not connected to your old thermostat, you also do not connect it to your new thermostat. Keep the wires from falling back into the wall by wrapping them around a pencil as shown.
Replacing a Clock Thermostat that has C or C1 Clock Terminals?
If you are replacing a Honeywell Chronotherm® Thermostat, you may find one or two wires that go to the C or C1 clock terminals on the Chronotherm® Thermostat wiring wallplate. Do not allow them to touch, or you can damage your transformer. Disconnect the wires and wrap them separately, using electrical tape. Do not wrap them together. Place the wires where they do not interfere with the operation of the new thermostat. Record the colors and terminal designation labels of the remaining wires.
Six or more wires?
If there are six or more wires (excluding clock wires attached to terminals), you probably have a variation of a heat pump or multistage system. This thermostat is not compatible with those systems so return the product to the retailer. If you want information about the programmable thermostats that work with your system, call Honeywell Consumer Services at 1-800-468-1502.
Three thermostat wires?
If you have three wires for heating only and can operate the fan using the fan On switch, this thermostat works with your system. However, some hot water (zoned) heating systems have three thermostat wires. The thermostat does not work without installing an isolating relay on these systems. For details, call Honeywell Consumer Services at 1-800-468-1502.
Step 3. Install Batteries
IMPORTANT
Batteries must be installed for the pro-gramming and operation of the ther-mostat and heating/cooling system.
- Purchase two AA alkaline batteries; non-alkaline batteries do not last as long, and can leak, causing damage to the thermostat or the wall surface. We recommend Energizer® batteries.
- Open the top cover of thermostat to access control panel and battery compartment. Make sure the thermostat is set to the Off position.
- Use a coin to remove the battery cover.
- Install the fresh batteries as shown, making sure positive and negative terminals are oriented correctly.
- Replace the battery cover.
As the batteries run low, a bAt Lo indicator flashes for one to two months before the batteries run out completely. Replace the batteries as soon as possible after the indicator starts flashing. If you do not replace the batteries sometime during the flashing bAt Lo, the indicator eventually stops flashing. bAt Lo then stays on without flashing, indicating the thermostat and heating/cooling system have stopped working and the batteries are almost completely dead.After the batteries are completely dead, the bAtLo indication disappears, leaving a completely blank display.
Press down on the left ends of batteries to remove them. If you insert the new batteries within 20 to 30 seconds of removing the old ones, you do not need to reprogram the thermostat. However, if the display is blank, the batteries are dead or incorrectly installed and you must reprogram. See Step 4.
IMPORTANT
Although the thermostat has a low bat-tery indicator, replace the batteries once a year to prevent the thermostat and heating/cooling system from shut-ting down due to lack of battery power. As a precaution, when leaving home for longer than a month, change bat-teries before you leave to prevent the system from shutting down due to lack of battery power.
Step 4. Program Thermostat
After the batteries are installed, the thermostat can be easily programmed in your hand before it is installed on the wall. If you prefer to program the thermostat after it is installed on the wall, go to Step 7 and return later to this programming section. The Personal Programming Chart, Tables 2 and 3, may be helpful for planning your program schedule of time and temperature settings for various times of the day. Four time periods are available during weekdays — WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN, and SLEEP; view these periods individually on the display as you press the Weekday key.
- WAKE is the time period you want the house at a comfortable temperature when you get up and while you get ready for work or school. (This is a higher temperature during heating season and a lower temperature dur-ing cooling season.)
- LEAVE is the time period you can set for an energy-saving temperature while you are away at work or school. (This is a lower tem-perature during heating season and a higher temperature during cooling season.)
- RETURN is the time period you want the house at a comfortable temperature for activ-ities before bedtime. (This is a higher tem-perature during heating season and a lower temperature during cooling season.)
- SLEEP is the time period you can set for an energy-saving temperature while you are sleeping. (This is a lower temperature during the heating season and a higher tem-perature during the cooling season.) Set one schedule for weekdays and another for weekends because your requirements are usually different for each. Also, during week-ends, only the WAKE and SLEEP time periods are available.
- Fill in the times and temperatures you desire for weekdays and weekends. If you decide not to program the thermostat, it automatically con-trols heating at 68°F (20°C), and cooling at 78°F (26°C), 24 hours a day. Also, you do not need to enter a time and temperature program for all periods if your schedule does not require it. For example, a house that is occupied during week-days would require programs only for WAKE and SLEEP.
- If no program is entered for the weekends, the thermostat operates on the weekday SLEEP program all weekend.
Before programming, remove the clear plastic overlay covering the display. - When pressing the keys, use the ball of your finger or a soft pencil eraser. Using sharp finger-nails or pencil points can damage the keypad.
- If you make an error at any time during program-ming, just press the Run Program key, and continue again at the previous step in your sequence.

Return to Normal Program or Start Program — Press
Step 5. Adjust Fan Operation Switch, As Required
The thermostat fan operation switch, labeled FUEL SWITCH (see illustration) is factory-set in the F position. This is the correct setting for most systems. If your system is an electric
heat system, set the switch to E to allow the fan to turn on immediately with the heating in a system when the G terminal is connected.
Step 6. Adjust System On-Time, °F/°C, As Required
The thermostat on-time is factory-set for a warm air, gas or oil heating system. If you are installing it on another type of system, adjust the on-time accordingly by setting screws A and B on the back of the thermostat. Use the heating system table shown in the illustration as a guide. The system on-time should be optimized according to the type of system to maximize comfort. Setting the screw “out one turn” means turning the screw approximately 360° counterclockwise, or about one complete turn.
In the unlikely event that you want a longer furnace on-time, readjust screws A and/or B as follows:
First, turn both screws in completely, then adjust for system type:
- Warm Air Furnace—Set at the Hot Water setting (A—out one turn, B—leave in).
- Electric Furnace—Leave at the Warm Air Furnace setting (A—leave in, B—leave in).
NOTE: This thermostat does not have a setting for steam/gravity air; cycles would not be long enough for accurate temperature control.
IMPORTANT
When using a high efficiency furnace such as a 90 percent or greater Average Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) unit, adjust screw A out one turn and leave screw B in.
- The thermostat is set to read the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. If readings are desired in degrees Celsius, adjust screw C out one turn.
Step 7. Mount Thermostat Mounting Plate
- Position mounting plate on wall. Use level to make sure mounting plate is level. Use a pencil to mark the two mounting holes.
- Remove mounting plate from wall, and drill 3/16-inch holes in wall (if drywall) as marked. For firmer material such as plaster or wood, drill 7/32-inch holes. Gently tap anchors (provided) into drilled holes until flush with the wall.
- Reposition mounting plate over holes, pulling wires through wiring opening.
- Loosely insert two mounting screws into holes
- Level for appearance only; thermostat functions properly even when not level.
- Tighten mounting screws.
Step 8. Wire Thermostat Terminals
NOTE: All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances. If unsure about householdwiring procedures, call your localheating/air conditioning contractor.
- Refer to the labels you placed on the terminal wires when you removed your old thermostat. Match the letter of your old thermostat wire with the terminal of the corresponding letter
on the back of your new thermostat. (See wiring diagrams.) Hold the thermostat as shown in illustration to minimize need for wire extenders. - If wires are still too short, use wire connectors (purchased locally) to extend wires. See illustration for guidelines on using wire extenders.
- In 5-wire installations only, be sure to remove the factory-installed jumper connecting terminals R and Rc.
- Loosen the terminal screws and slip each wire beneath its matching terminal. See illustrations for wire insertion technique.
- Securely tighten terminals.
- Plug the hole in the wall with insulation to help prevent drafts from adversely affecting thermostat operation.

Step 9. Mount Thermostat
NOTE: To remove thermostat from wall, first pull out at bottom of thermostat, then remove top.
Step 10. Check Thermostat Operation After Programming and Installing
Heating
Do not check heating system operation by jumpering thermostat terminals such as gas valve, zone valve, and oil burner control at the primary control. This damages the thermostat. Instead, jumper R and W wires at the thermostat Move the System switch to Heat and the Fan switch to Auto.
TEMP Press TEMP key until the set- ting is about 10°F (6°C) above room temperature. Heating should start and the fan should run after a short delay (immedi- ately if fan operation switch is set to E position). Press TEMP key until setting is about 10°F (6°C) below room temperature. The heating equip-ment should shut off.
Cooling
To avoid possible compressor damage, do not operate the cooling system when outdoor temperature is below 50°F (10°C). See compressor manufacturer instructions.
IMPORTANT
When cooling setting is changed, ther-mostat delays up to five minutes before turning on the air conditioner. This delay protects the compressor.Move the System switch to Cool and the Fan switch to Auto. Press TEMP key until setting is about 10°F (6°C) below room temperature. The cooling equipment and fan should start.
Press TEMP key until the setting is about 10°F (6°C) above room temperature. The cooling equipment and fan should stop. Move the System switch to Off; keep the Fan switch at Auto. The system and fan should be off.
Step 11. Set Fan and System Switches
First set the Fan switch.
Fan Auto: Normal setting for most Auto On homes. A single-speed fan will turn on automatically with the air conditioner or furnace. A two-speed fan usually runs on high with the air conditioner and on low with the furnace.
Fan On: The fan runs continuously. Auto On Use for improved air circulation during special occasions or for more efficient electronic air cleaning. (In a heat-only system, fan runs continuously only if fan relay is connected to the thermostat.)
Then set the System switch. Cool: The thermostat controls your air conditioning system.
Off: Both the heating and air conditioning systems are off.Heat: The thermostat controls your heating system.
