Remove the old thermostat while leaving the wallplate and wiring in place. Take a picture of the wires on your old thermostat for later reference.
Installing your thermostat 3 Label wires. Use the supplied sticky tags to label each wire as you disconnect it. Label wires according to the old thermostat terminal designations, not by wire color. Blank tags Note: If no tag matches a wire terminal label, write the terminal label on a blank tag.
Installing your thermostat 4 Remove wallplate. Remove the old wallplate from the wall after all wires have been labeled and disconnected. Finger holds Thermostat 5 Separate Wi-Fi thermostat and its wallplate. On your new thermostat, grasp the finger holds on the top and bottom of the wallplate with one hand and the thermostat (front) with the other hand. Pull pieces apart.
Installing your thermostat 6 Mount wallplate for Wi-Fi thermostat. Mount your new wallplate using screws and anchors included with the thermostat. Wallplate If necessary: Drill 3/16-in holes for drywall. Drill 7/32-in holes for plaster.
Installing your thermostat Note: The Wi-Fi thermostat requires a C wire to operate. The C, or common, wire brings 24 VAC power to the thermostat. Many older mechanical or battery operated thermostats do not require a C wire. If you don’t have a C wire, try: ooking for an unused wire that is pushed into the wall. Connect that wire • L to C and check that it is connected to the 24 VAC common at your heating/ cooling system. Check the video section at wifithermostat.com. • I nstalling a new wire.

Troubleshooting If you have difficulty with your thermostat, please try the following suggestions. Most problems can be corrected quickly and easily. Display is blank • Check circuit breaker and reset if necessary. • Make sure power switch at heating and cooling system is on. • Make sure furnace door is closed securely. • Make sure C wire is connected (see page 15).
Troubleshooting Heat pump issues cool air in heat mode, or warm air in cool mode • Check Function 0190: Heat Pump Changeover Valve to make sure it is properly configured for your system (see page 55). Button on lower right of screen is blank • This button will remain blank unless the furnace filter change reminder is activated (see page 44). Red light is on • If thermostat is in Emergency Heat mode the red light is normal. It shows that the thermostat is in emergency heat mode.
Troubleshooting Heating or cooling system does not respond • Press SYSTEM to set system to Heat. Make sure the temperature is set higher than the Inside temperature. • Press SYSTEM to set system to Cool. Make sure the temperature is set lower than the Inside temperature. • Check circuit breaker and reset if necessary. • Make sure power switch at heating & cooling system is on. • Make sure furnace door is closed securely. • If “Wait” is displayed, the compressor protection timer is on.
Glossary C wire The “C” or common wire brings 24 VAC power to the thermostat from the heating/cooling system. Some older mechanical or battery operated thermostats may not have this wire connection. It is necessary for establishing a Wi-Fi connection to your home network. Heat Pump heating/cooling system Heat pumps are used to heat and cool a home. If your old thermostat has a setting for auxiliary or emergency heat, you likely have a heat pump.
