Connect Wires and Mount Thermostat to
Wallplate
■ Straighten bare end of each wire and cut or strip it to
/4” maximum. Insert each labeled wire into its maching
terminal.
■ Hold the wires in each terminal and tighten the terminal
screws securely, otherwise a loose wire could cause op-
erational problems with your system or thermostat.
■ Push excess wire back into hole to prevent interference with
mounting of the thermostat.
■ Make sure the System Switch is set to OFF.
■ Insert two AA size alkaline batteries, observing the polarity
marked on the unit.
■ On the back of the thermostat, find Switch SW at the lower
right-hand corner.
) If your system is a gas furnace, then position the
switch to HG.
2) If your system is an electric furnace, then position
the switch to HG.
) If your system is a single stage heat pump, then
position the switch to SSHP.
■ Insert the upper tabs on the thermostat body into the
slot at the top of the wallplate. Press bottom of the ther-
mostat body to snap it into the wallplate. (NOTE: Do not
force the thermostat onto the wallplate, as the terminal
pins may be damaged. If it does not snap properly, the
thermostat may not work.)
■ Switch on the main power at the panel or furnace.
