If labels do not match letters on the thermostat, check “Alternate Wiring” on page 6 and connect to terminal as shown here (see notes, below).
Thermostat does not work on Heat Pumps with auxiliary/backup heat.
We are here to help. Call 1-800-468-1502 for wiring assistance.
Alternate Wiring
- If wires will be connected to both R and Rc terminals, remove metal jumper.
- Do not use C or X. Wrap bare end of wire with electrical tape.
- If you have a heat pump without auxiliary/backup heat connect O or B, not both. If you do not have a heat pump, do not connect B. Wrap bare end of wire with electrical tape.
- Place a jumper (piece of wire) between Y and W if you are using a heat pump without auxiliary/backup heat.
7. Install Batteries
8. Set fan operation switch
Move the switch to the proper setting:
Gas or Oil: For gas or oil heating systems, leave the fan operation switch in this factory-set position (for systems that control the fan in a call for heat).
Electric or Heat Pump: Change the switch to this setting for heat pump or electric heat systems. (This setting is for systems that allow the thermostat to control the fan in a call for heat, if a fan wire is connected to the G terminal.)
9. Install Thermostat onto Wallplate

The new temperature will be maintained only until the next programmed time period begins (see page 11).
To cancel the temporary setting at any time, press RUN.
NOTE: Make sure the thermostat is set to the system you want to control heat or cool).
Program schedule override (permanent)
Press HOLD to permanently adjust the temperature. This will override the temperature settings for all time periods.
The “Hold” feature turns off the program schedule and allows you to adjust the thermostat manually, as needed.
Whatever temperature you set will be maintained 24 hours a day, until you manually change it, or press RUN to cancel “Hold” and resume the program schedule.
NOTE: Make sure the thermostat is set to the system you want to control heat or cool).
Built-in compressor protection
This feature helps prevent damage to the compressor in your air conditioning or heat pump system.
Damage can occur if the compressor is restarted too soon after shutdown. This feature forces the compressor to wait 5 minutes before restarting.
During the wait time, the display will flash the message Cool On (or Heat On if you have a heat pump). When the safe wait time has elapsed, the message stops flashing and the compressor turns on.
Battery replacement
Install two fresh AAA batteries when Lo Batt flashes on the screen. Lo Batt appears for 60 days before the batteries are depleted.
Replace batteries once a year, or when you will be away for more than a month.
Most settings are stored in non- volatile (permanent) memory. Only the clock and the day must be set after you replace the batteries.
Pull at bottom to remove thermostat from wallplate.
Set the System switch to Off before removing the batteries. Otherwise, the heating/cooling system could remain activated even when batteries are removed.
