• Compatible with hot water baseboard systems. Will not work efficiently on steam or gravity systems.

Acquire tools and items below as needed. Also purchase two AA alkaline batteries; we recom-mend Energizer® batteries.

Step 2: Remove Old Thermostat

• Test to make certain that 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 outdoor temperature is below 50°F (10°C).
• TURN OFF POWER to system at the furnace, or at the fuse/circuit breaker panel.
• Carefully unpack your new thermostat and mounting plate; save 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.
• Loosen screws holding thermostat to subbase, wallplate or wall, and lift away.
• Disconnect wires from the old thermostat or subbase. As you disconnect each wire, use masking tape to label it with the old terminal designation. If there are only two wires, they do not need to be labeled. If there is an extra wire that is not connected to your old thermostat, you will also not be connecting it to your new thermostat. Wrap wires as shown to keep them from falling back into the wall.

Replacing a Clock Thermostat that has C or C1 Clock Terminals?
If you are replacing a Honeywell Chronotherm® Thermostat, you can 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 may 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. The thermostat is not compatible with such systems so return the product to the place of purchase. If you would like information about which programmable thermostats work with your system, call Honeywell Customer Assistance 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 Customer Assistance at 1-800-468-1502.

Step 3: Install Batteries

IMPORTANT Batteries must be installed for programming and operation of the thermostat 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.
• Make sure the thermostat is set to the OFF position.
• Use a coin to remove the battery door.
• Install the fresh batteries as shown, making sure positive and negative terminals are oriented correctly.
• Replace the battery door.
• As the batteries are running low, a bAt Lo indicator flashes for one or two months before batteries run out completely. Replace the batteries as soon as possible after the indicator starts flashing. If you do not replace the batteries sometime while bAt Lo is flashing, the indicator eventually stops flashing. bAt Lo stays on without flashing, indicating the thermostat and heating/cooling system have stopped working when the batteries are almost completely dead.
• After the batteries are completely dead, the bAt Lo indicator disappears, leaving a completely blank display.
• Press down on the left ends of the batteries to remove. If you insert the new batteries within 20 to 30 seconds of removing the old ones, you do not have to reprogram the thermostat. However, if the display is blank, the batteries are dead or incorrectly installed and you must reprogram. See pages 14 and 15 to reprogram.
  IMPORTANT Although the thermostat has a low battery indicator, replace the batteries once a year to prevent the thermostat and heating/cooling system from shutting down due to lack of battery power.
• As a precaution, when leaving home for longer than a month, change batteries 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, skip to page 18, and return later to this programming section.
• The following Personal Programming Chart (pages 12 and 13) can be helpful for planning your program schedule of time and tempera-ture settings for various times of the day.
• Four time periods are available during week-days — WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN, and SLEEP. These periods can be seen individually on the display as you press the SET SCHEDULE 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. When deciding what time to set for your WAKE period, include extra lead time, depending on the outside temperature and your furnace response time, to give the furnace a head start to heat the house before you get up. (This will be a higher temperature during heating season, or a lower temperature during cooling season.)
• LEAVE is the time period you can set for an energy-saving temperature while you are away at work or school. (This will be a lower tem-perature during heating season, or a higher temperature during cooling season.)
• RETURN is the time period you want the house at a comfortable temperature for activities before bedtime. When deciding what time to set for your RETURN period, include extra lead time, depending on the outside temperature and your furnace response time, to give the furnace a head start to heat the house before you arrive home. (Again, this is higher heating or lower for cooling.)
• SLEEP is the time period you can set for an energy-saving temperature while you are sleeping. (Again, this is lower for heating or higher for cooling. For more comfortable sleeping, some people choose not to raise the cool temperature during the night.)
• You will set one schedule for weekdays and another for weekends, because your require-ments will probably be different for each. Also, during weekends, 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 will automatically control 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 weekdays would only require programs for WAKE and SLEEP.
• If no program is entered for the weekends, the thermostat will operate 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 fingernails or pencil points can damage the keypad.
• If you make an error at any time during programming, just press the RUN PROGRAM key, and continue again at the step where you left off.

Personal Programming Chart

• WAKE and RETURN start times should include extra lead time based on outside temperature and furnace response time, to give your furnace a head start to heat the house.
• The temperatures cannot be set any higher than 88°F (31°C) or any lower than 45°F (7°C).
• WAKE and RETURN start times should include extra lead time based on outside temperature and furnace response time, to give your furnace a head start to heat the house.
• The temperatures cannot be set any higher than 88°F (31°C) or any lower than 45°F (7°C).
  NOTE: If you decide not to program the thermostat, it automatically controls heating at 68°F (20°C), and cooling at 78°F (26°C), 24 hours a day. This guide can be used for programming your new thermostat.
  NOTE: Batteries are required for operation and programming. When inserting batteries, set system switch to OFF. Remove the battery door (on the thermostat left side) using a coin at the bottom. Follow instructions on pages 8 and 9.

Step 5: Adjust Fan Operation Switch, as Required

The thermostat fan operation switch, labeled FUEL SWITCH (see illustration on page 20) 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. The E setting allows the fan to turn on immediately with the heating or cooling in a system where the G terminal is connected.

Step 6: Adjust System On-Time, °F/C°, as Required

The system 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 (page 20) as a guide. Optimize the system on-time according to the type of system to minimize room temperature swings. 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 system on-time, readjust screws A and/or B as follows:
First, turn in both screws 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% or greater AFUE (Average Fuel Utilization Efficiency) 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, as shown in the illustration.

Step 7: Mount Thermostat Mounting Plate

• Position the mounting plate on the wall. Use a level to make sure the mounting plate is level. Use a pencil to mark the two mounting holes.
• Remove the mounting plate from the wall, and drill 3/16-inch holes in the 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 the holes, pulling wires through the wiring opening. Loosely insert two mounting screws into the holes.
• Level for appearance only; thermostat functions properly even when not level. Tighten the mounting screws.

Step 8: Wire Thermostat Terminals

NOTE: All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances. If unsure about household wiring procedures, call your local heating/air conditioning contractor. Refer to masking tape labels you placed on the 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. Refer to illustrations on pages 25 and 26. Hold the thermostat as shown 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 illustration (lower right) for wire insertion technique. Securely tighten the terminals.
• Plug the hole in the wall with insulation to help prevent drafts from adversely affecting the thermostat operation.

Step 9: Mount Thermostat

NOTE: To remove the thermostat from the wall, first pull out at the bottom of the thermostat, then remove the top.

Step 10: Check Thermostat Operation after Programming and Installing

Heating
Do not check heating system operation by jumpering thermostat terminals at the primary control such as the gas valve, zone valve, or oil burner 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.
• Press key until the setting is about 10°F (6°C) above room temperature. The heating should start and the fan should run after a short delay (immediately if fan operation switch is set in E position).
• Press key until setting is about 10°F (6°C) below room temperature. The heating equipment should shut off.

Cooling
To avoid possible compressor damage, do not operate the cooling system when outside temperature is below 50°F (10°C). See compressor manufacturer instructions for further information.
NOTE: When cooling setting is changed, thermostat may delay 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 key until setting is about 10°F (6°C) below room temperature. The cooling equipment and fan should start.
• Press 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, with 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 homes. A single-speed fan turns 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.
  Exception: If the fan operation switch on the back of the thermostat is set to the E position (see page 20), the fan operates only with the furnace.
• FAN ON: The fan runs continuously. 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 the 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.
