Terminals with wires should stay pressed down.
f the button doesn’t stay down, take the wire out, straighten it, and put it back in as
far as it will go. You may need to strip the end of your wire to make sure enough
copper is exposed.
mportant Do not put more than one wire in each connector on the Nest base
mportant: Do not connect any “spare” wires to your Nest thermostat that were not

make sure they’re flush with the base. If your wires stick out too far they can keep
your thermostat display from connecting properly
f your wires stick out from the wall press them down
