Connect Wires and Mount Thermostat to Wallplate

■Straighten bare end of each wire and cut or strip it to 1/4” maximum. Insert each labeled wire into the bottom of the maching terminal. Refer to figures 4 and 5.

■Hold the wires in each terminal and tighten the terminal screws securely, otherwise a loose wire could cause opera- tional problems with your system or thermostat.

■Push excess wire back into hole to prevent interference with mounting of the thermostat.

■Make sure the Power Switch is set to OFF.

■Insert two AAA size alkaline batteries, observing the polarity marked on the unit.

■Insert the upper tabs on the thermostat body into the slot at the top of the wallplate. Press bottom of the thermostat body to snap it into the wallplate. (NOTE: Do not force the ther- mostat 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.
