Here is another copy of the items listed on page 15 and 16 regarding mounting the
thermostat. Should you not need this section again, proceed to section B for
SETTING THE CURRENT DAY AND TIME
The thermostat comes with a 20 foot power cable. One end of the cable attaches to the
BLACK terminal board on the side of the air conditioner electrical box. The other end is
wired into the black teminal board inside the thermostat itself. (Directions listed below.)
The thermostat may be mounted on any flat wall surface with space behind the wall to
run the power cable out of view and still reach the air conditioner electrical box. Ideally,
the thermostat will be about 2/3 up on an interior wall, out of direct sun light and not
directly in front of a "supply air" vent, nor next to a hatch. It is important that the
thermostat be located where it is sensing “true” cabin temperature rather than a “dead”
spot, or getting incorrect readings from sunlight or sampling air near a constantly
opening/closing hatch thereby reading “outside” air rather than inside air.
