Power Supply
While the thermostat can run without batteries on C-wire power, you should install batteries as well to provide
power to the unit during outages See the Thermostat Battery Cautions.
1. Install four (4) AA alkaline batteries following the marked polarity in the battery compartments. Insert
the battery negative end first against the spring, then push the positive end in
2. With all the wires connected and the unit attached to the wall, it is time to turn the AC power back on
Reconnect the power at the breaker you used to switch it off. The Thermostat will power-up in the
OFF mode
3. Your Thermostat is not yet configured to operate your HVAC system You must now connect your
thermostat to a Z-Wave Network and configure the HVAC and Heat Source settings.
Warning: Batteries
• Always use new Alkaline batteries
• Do not use rechargeable batteries of any type They will not operate the thermostat properly and
may lead to damage.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix battery types, for example Lithium with Alkaline.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak.
• Always replace the batteries as soon as the “Low Batt” warning flashes. The thermostat is a battery-
powered device; you should replace the batteries before they run out, as failure to replace batteries
can result in excessive heating or cooling of your house.
• Always replace the batteries once a year, even if the “Low Batt” indicator does not flash. Replacing
the batteries also helps to prevent leakage that can corrode and damage the thermostat.
• If you are leaving your home for a month or more, you should replace the batteries as a precaution
against battery failure in your absence.
• Failing to replace the batteries when necessary could cause the thermostat to lose power or mal-
function If the thermostat loses power, then the thermostat will not control the temperature, which
could result in your HVAC system not functioning as you intended and lead to possible damage
from excessive heating or cooling.
• If the thermostat batteries fail with the heat OFF, this can result in NO HEAT and possible frozen
or broken pipes and water damage.
• If the thermostat batteries fail with the cool OFF, this can result in NO COOL and could cause
possible damage or excessive temperatures.
