Batteries are optional (to provide backup power) if your thermostat was wired to
run on AC power when installed. If your thermostat was not wired to run on AC
power, then batteries are required.
Install fresh batteries immediately when the low battery icon appears. The icon
appears about two months before the batteries are depleted.
Even if the low battery icon does not appear, you should replace batteries once a
year, or before leaving home for more than a month.
NOTE: When replacing batteries, alkaline batteries are recommended.
