IMPORTANT!

• Please read all of these instructions carefully before beginning

installation.

• Label every wire terminal designation on your existing

thermostat wiring before removing your old thermostat.

• Ignore the color of the wires since they may not comply with

any standard.  Please connect wires using the terminal letter
designations.

Thank you for your confidence in our product.  To obtain the best results
from your investment, please read and follow the installation procedures
carefully, and one step at a time.  This will save you time and minimize the
chance of damaging either the thermostat or possibly your heating and
cooling system.  These instructions may contain information beyond that
which may be required for your particular installation.
