STEP 2 Remove the 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 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 wallplate; save 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.
• Loosen the screws holding the thermostat to the 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. Wrap wires around pencils to keep them from falling back into the wall, 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
will 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 most likely 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 will 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 will work with your system. However, some hot water (zoned) heating systems have
three thermostat wires. The thermostat will not work without installing an isolating relay on these systems. For details, call Honeywell Customer Assistance at 1-800-468-1502.

STEP 3 Before You Program
Install the Batteries
IMPORTANT: Three AA alkaline batteries are included with the thermostat. Batteries must be installed for the programming and operation of the thermostat and heating/cooling system.
n Install the batteries in the back of the thermostat as shown, making sure positive (+) terminals all face toward the right. As the batteries are running low, a REPL BAT indicator will flash for 1 to 2 months before the batteries run out completely. Replace the batteries as soon as possible after the indicator starts flashing.

If you insert new batteries within 20 to 30 seconds of removing the old ones, you will not have to reprogram the thermostat. However, if the display is blank, the batteries are dead or incorrectly installed. In this case, you will have to reprogram. See pages 13 through 15 to reprogram. If you do not reprogram, the factory-preprogrammed settings will be in effect, as
shown in the chart on pages 11 and 12.

IMPORTANT: Although the thermostat has a low battery indicator, replace the batteries once a year to prevent leakage and to prevent the thermostat and heating/cooling system from shutting down due to a 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 a lack of battery power. Use fresh alkaline batteries; non-alkaline batteries do not last as long and may leak, causing damage to the thermostat or the wall surface. We recommend Energizer® batteries.

Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ Selection

Before you program your thermostat, you must decide if you want to leave the thermostat at the factory-set Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ setting or adjust it to conventional recovery. If
you choose conventional recovery, adjust the screw 3A (on the back of the thermostat) by turning out one turn. With Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™, your home gradually reaches the comfort temperature you set at the exact time programmed into the thermostat to achieve maximum energy savings and comfort.

More about Adaptive Intelligent Recovery
This thermostat is a small but powerful computer. When calculating the exact time to turn on your furnace or air conditioner, it considers: (1) air temperature, (2) the temperature of
the wall and (3) when you want the comfort temperature established.

During recovery, the thermostat increases the control of the temperature gradually and turns the equipment on and off several times before reaching your comfort time to save energy by avoiding overshooting the comfort temperature. You can see the current control temperature anytime during recovery by pressing the CURRENT SETTING key. This smart control learns from experience. Each day it checks how closely it hit the target and adjusts the recovery start time accordingly. It normally takes four to eight days after installation for the thermostat to adjust to the weather, your lifestyle, home construction, and heating/cooling system.

With conventional recovery, the programmed time marks the start of the time your furnace or air conditioner comes on to start recovery; therefore, you should program the start time to be earlier than the desired comfort time. The best starting time varies as the seasons change, but 30 minutes is a good head start time to use.
NOTE: If you adjust the screw 3A for conventional recovery, a n indicator appears in the lower right corner of the thermostat display as a reminder that you are no longer using the Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ feature.

STEP 4 Program The Thermostat

After the batteries are installed, the thermostat can be easily programmed in your hand before it is installed on the wall. If you would prefer to program the thermostat after it is installed on the wall, skip to page 16, and return later to this programming section. The following personal programming chart (pages 11 and 12) may be helpful when planning your program schedule of time and temperature settings for various times of the day. Four time periods are available—MORNING, DAYTIME, EVENING and NIGHT. Each period has its own setting key.

MORNING is the period you want the house at a comfortable temperature when you get up and while you get ready for You will set one schedule for weekdays, one for Saturday, and another for Sunday, because your requirements will probably be different for each. Fill in the times and temperatures you desire for weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The factory preprogrammed time and temperature settings are shown in parentheses. If you decide not to program the thermostat, it automatically controls to these settings. The thermostat requires a
time and temperature program for the MORNING period. You can program DAYTIME and EVENING, or leave them blank. You can also change NIGHT or cancel it (see page 15), as you please work for or school. (This will be a higher temperature during the heating season, or a lower temperature during the cooling season.) DAYTIME is the period you can set for an
energy-saving temperature while you are away at work or school. (This will be a lower temperature during the heating season, or a higher temperature during the cooling season.) EVENING is the period you want the house at a comfortable temperature for activities before bedtime. (Again, higher heat or lower cool.)

NIGHT is the period you can set for an energy-saving temperature while you are sleeping. (Again, lower heat or higher cool. Although for more comfortable sleeping, some people choose not to raise the cool temperature during the night.)

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. Use of sharp fingernails or pencil points can damage the keypad. If at any time during programming, you make an error, just press the RUN PROGRAM key, and continue again at the step where you left off.

Personal Programming Chart

The temperatures cannot be set any higher than 88°F (31°C) or any lower than 45°F (7°C).
NOTE: The factory-preprogrammed time and temperature settings are shown in parentheses When programming your new thermostat, use this guide. Batteries are required for programming and operation.

STEP 5 Mount Thermostat Wallplate

• Position the wallplate on the wall. Level the wallplate for appearance only. Use a pencil to mark the two mounting holes that best fit the application.
• Remove the wallplate 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 the wallplate over holes, pulling wires through the wiring opening. Loosely insert two mounting screws into holes.
• Level for appearance only; thermostat functions properly even when not level. Tighten mounting screws.

STEP 6 Adjust System On-Time, Clock Display, 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, the on-time must be adjusted accordingly by setting
  screws 1A and 1B on the back of the thermostat, using the heating system table in the illustration as a guide. The system on-time should be optimized with 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 furnace on time, readjust screws 1A and/or 1B as follows:

First, turn both screws in completely, then adjust for system type:

• Hot Water or High Efficiency—Set at the Gravity Air/Water setting (1A—out one turn, 1B—out one turn).
• Gas/Oil Warm Air—Set at the Hot Water or High-Efficiency setting (1A—leave in, 1B— out one turn).
• Electric Warm Air—Leave at the Gas/ Oil Warm Air setting (1A—leave in, 1B— leave in).

IMPORTANT: When using a high-efficiency furnace such as a 90% or greater AFUE (Average Fuel Utilization Efficiency) unit, leave screw 1A in and screw 1B out one turn. n The thermostat is set to display the time as a 12-hour clock and the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. If a 24-hour clock (e.g., military time) or degrees Celsius readings are desired,
adjust screws 2A and 2B as necessary using the illustration as a guide. n For an explanation of the Recovery Selection screws (3A), see pages 7 and 8.

STEP 7 Adjust Fan Operation Switch, As Required

• The thermostat fan operation switch is factory-set in the left (NON-ELEC) position. This is the correct setting for most systems. If your system is an electric furnace, set the switch to
  the right (ELEC) position. The ELEC position allows the fan to turn on immediately with the heating or cooling system if the G terminal is connected to a fan relay.
  NOTE: Either the switch must be set before the batteries are installed, or the left battery must be removed to access the switch

STEP 8 Wire Wallplate 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 the masking tape labels you placed on wires when you removed your old thermostat. Match the letter of your old thermostat wire with the terminal of the corresponding letter on your new thermostat. Refer to illustrations on pages 22 and 23. 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. Either straight or wraparound wiring connections are acceptable (see illustration). Tighten terminals.
• Plug the hole in the wall with insulation to help prevent drafts from adversely affecting thermostat operation.

STEP 9 Mount The Thermostat

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, oil burner control. This will damage the thermostat. Instead, you could jumper R and W wires at the thermostat.

COOLING

To avoid possible compressor damage, do not operate the cooling system when the outside temperature is below 50°F (10°C). See compressor manufacturer instructions for further information.
NOTE: When the cooling setting is changed, the thermostat may delay up to five minutes before turning on the air conditioner. This delay protects the compressor.

Move the system switch to HEAT and the fan switch to AUTO. Press up arrow of the 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 the fan operation switch is set in the ELEC position). Press the down arrow of the key until the setting is about 10°F (6°C ) below room temperature.

The heating equipment should shut off Move the system switch to COOL and the fan switch to AUTO. Press the down arrow of the key until the setting is about 10°F (6°C) below room temperature. The cooling equipment and fan should start. Press up arrow of 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 and the fan switch to ON. The fan should run continuously. When the fan switch is in the AUTO position, the fan cycles with the FAN heating or cooling system.

STEP 11 Set The Fan And System Switches
First set the fan switch.

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 fan relay is connected to the thermostat.)
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 ELEC (right) position (see page 20), the fan operates with a furnace only.

Then set the system switch. HEAT: The thermostat controls your heating system.
OFF: Both the heating and air conditioning systems are off.
COOL: The thermostat controls your air conditioning system.
