Do you have a CWire?
Look at the thermostat wiring 
checklist from Step 8, or the photo 
you took. Is the CTerminal checked?
This means you will not need 
to install the included CWire 
Adapter. Skip to Installing Your 
New Thermostat (page 9).
This means you don’t have 
a C-wire connected to your 
thermostat. Continue to next 
step.

Disconnect the wires and remove 
the old wall plate
You may need a screwdriver to 
release wires from terminals.
Tip: Wrap the wires around a pencil 
to prevent them from falling in the 
wall.
Write down the colors of the wires
Check the boxes and write down the color of the wires connected to terminals 
that are coming from the wall. Check all that apply (not all will apply).
