INSTALLATION
REMOVE OLD THERMOSTAT
1.Shut off electricity at the main fuse box until installation is complete. Ensure that electrical power is disconnected.
2.Remove the front cover of the old thermostat. With wires still attached, remove wall plate from the wall. If the old thermostat has a wall mounting plate, remove the thermostat and the wall mounting plate as an assembly.
3.Identify each wire attached to the old thermostat using the labels enclosed with the new thermostat.
4.Disconnect the wires from old thermostat one at a time. DO
NOT LET WIRES FALL BACK INTO THE WALL.
5.Install new thermostat using the following procedures.
ATTENTION!
This product does not contain mercury. However, this product may replace a unit which contains mercury.
Do not open mercury cells. If a cell becomes damaged, do not touch any spilled mercury. Wearing nonabsorbent gloves, take up the spilled mercury with sand or other absorbent material and place into a container which can be sealed. If a cell becomes damaged, the unit should be discarded.
Mercury must not be discarded in household trash. When the unit this product is replacing is to be discarded, place in a suitable container and return to

HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS
This thermostat is configured from the factory to operate a heat/ cool, fossil fuel (gas, oil, etc.), forced air system. It is configured correctly for any system that DOES NOT require the thermostat to energize the fan on a call for heat. If your system is an electric heat or
ATTACH THERMOSTAT BASE TO WALL
1.Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Gently pull the cover straight off the base. Forcing or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit. If necessary, move the electric heat switch (see ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS, above).
2.Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using appropriate wiring schematic (see figs. 2 through 7).
3.Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole locations on wall using base as a template.
4.Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.
5.Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 1, using two mounting screws. Place a level against bottom of base, adjust until level, and then tighten screws. (Leveling is for appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.) If you are using existing mounting holes, or if holes drilled are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly, use plastic screw anchors to secure subbase.

BATTERY LOCATION
2 "AA" alkaline batteries are included in the thermostat at the factory with a battery tag to prevent power drainage. You must remove the battery tag to engage the batteries.
If "LO BATT" is displayed, the batteries are low and should be replaced with fresh "AA" Energizer® alkaline batteries. To re- place batteries, install the batteries along the top of the base (see Fig. 1). The batteries must be installed with the positive (+) end to the left.
