Mount Thermostat

Align the 4 tabs on the subbase with 

corresponding slots on the back of the 

thermostat, then push gently until the 

thermostat snaps in place.

Battery Installation

Battery installation is recommended even if thermostat is hardwired 

(C terminal connected).  When thermostat is hardwired and batteries 

are installed, the thermostat will activate a compressor delay of 5 

minutes when the thermostat detects a power outage from the 

hardwired power supply.

Important:

High quality alkaline batteries are recommended. 

Rechargeable batteries or low quality batteries 

do not guarantee a 1-year life span.

Insert 2 AA 

Alkaline batteries 

(included). High 

quality alkaline 

batteries are 

recommended.

Simple 

operating 

instructions

are found 

on the back 

of the 

battery 

door.

LCD

The low battery icon is displayed when the AA 

battery power is low. Whenever the thermostat 

detects low battery voltage from the AA batter-

ies, the low battery icon will begin flashing on 

the screen for 21 days (if the batteries are not 

changed). If the batteries are not changed 22 

days after the thermostat detects low battery 

voltage, the thermostat screen will only show 

the flashing battery icon until buttons are 

pressed. If the batteries are not changed 43 

days after the thermostat detects low battery 

voltage, the thermostat screen will only 

show the flashing battery icon until buttons 

are pressed and the set points will offset to 

85°F/29°C in cooling and 55°F/13°C in heating. 

At this stage, set point changes can be made 

temporarily but, the set points will change back 

to defaulted values after a 4-hour period. The 

thermostat will continue to perform this low 

battery flashing, temperature offset condition 

until the internal voltage threshold is reached. 

When the thermostat internal voltage threshold 

is reached, all relays will be opened and the 

thermostat will become inoperable until new 

batteries are installed.

Subbase Installation

The thermostat should be installed approximately 4 to 5 feet above the 

floor.  Select an area with average temperature and good air circulation.

•  Close to hot or cold air ducts

•  That are in direct sunlight

•  With an outside wall behind 

   the thermostat

•  In areas that do not require 

   conditioning

•  Where there are dead spots 

   or drafts 

   (in corners or behind doors)

•  Where there might be 

   concealed chimneys or

   pipes

Wall Locations

Vertical Mount

Horizontal Mount

For vertical mount put one screw on the top 
and one screw on the bottom.
For horizontal mount put one screw on the 
left and one screw on the right.

Pick an installation location that is easy for 

the user to access.  The temperature of the 

location should be representative of the 

building.

Installation Tip

Do not install 

thermostat in locations:

Failure to disconnect the power before
