Your old thermostat may consist of:
• 3 parts: a cover, base and wallplate
or
✔ The Cover: This usually pulls off, but is sometimes secured by a
screw which must be loosened.
✔ The Base: This either pulls off or needs to be removed by loosening

2.1.2 Loosen all screws holding the old thermostat’s wallplate to
the wall. Do not disconnect the wires from terminals. Allow
the wallplate to hang loosely on the wires.
2.2 Label and disconnect the wires
2.2.1 Note you may see two types of wiring in the old thermostat:
1. Wires leading from the wall to a
wall
terminal on the thermostat
Wall opening
2. Wires connecting one terminal to
another (jumper wire).
These don’t have to be labeled.

✔ Ignore wire colors. There is no standard color code for
thermostat wires.
✔ Ignore existing wire labels, if they are present.
✔ Use the provided labels to label/re-label the thermostat wires.
✔ The new labels must remain on the wires at least until the
installation process is complete.
✔ No two wires can have the same label.

terminal, as shown in the illustration below. Insert each wire into
the hole on the side of its matching terminal. Using a screwdriver,
tighten the screw securely. DO NOT REMOVE THE WIRE LABELS.
Make sure that the wires don’t fall
into the wall after you detach them from
the old thermostat. You may choose to
tape them to the wall or tightly wind them

2.4.2 In the new thermostat, a jumper wire
connects the RC and RH terminals.
Do not allow wires to touch each other or parts on
the thermostat. Doing so could result in damage to your heating and
cooling unit.
If, in your OLD thermostat…
Then…
Terminals RC and RH (or 5, or R5)
were connected by a jumper wire,
…leave the jumper wire in place
in the new thermostat.
There was a terminal R, which you then
labeled RC according to 2.2.2,
…leave the jumper wire in place
in the new thermostat.
2.3.3 Move the wallplate aside. Drill the mounting holes using a 3/16"
drill bit. With a hammer, tap the wall anchors, provided in the
package, into the drilled holes.
2.3.4 Position the wallplate on the wall again and screw the mounting
screws into the wall anchors. Do not use a power screwdriver,
you may damage your thermostat.
Terminals RC and RH (or 5 or R5)
were NOT connected by a jumper wire,
…remove the jumper wire from the
new thermostat.
If you’re not sure whether terminals RC and RH were connected in your old
thermostat, refer to your notes made in section 2.2.2.
