Before you begin programming your new ther-
mostat, you should be familiar with its features
and with the display and the location and opera-
tion of the thermostat buttons. The information
in this section will help you become familiar with
your thermostat so that you can easily program
it.
Your thermostat consists of two parts: the
thermostat body and the subbase.
Remove power from the system at the
circuit breaker/fuse box before remov-
ing or attaching the thermostat body.
Equipment damage and/or personal in-
jury could occur.
OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT
CAUTION
!
The subbase is attached to the wall, but you can
remove the thermostat body for easy program-
ming. To remove the thermostat body from the
subbase, grasp the thermostat body and gently
pull it out from the bottom of the subbase, then
pivot up. To attach the thermostat body, line up
the four terminal pins on the upper section of the
thermostat back with the matching connector on
the subbase. Insert these, then gently pivot the
thermostat body down to connect the nine pin
connectors on the lower portion of the thermo-
stat back. Gently push until the snap connectors
engage. DO NOT FORCE OR PRY THE THER-
MOSTAT, as this may damage the unit.
