Safety Considerations

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance, or use
can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which may
cause death, personal injury or property damage. Consult a qualified
installer, service agency or your distributor or branch for information or
assistance. The qualified installer or agency must use factory--authorized
kits or accessories when modifying this HVAC system. Refer to the
individual instructions packaged with the kits or accessories when
installing.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and
work gloves. Have a fire extinguisher available. Read these instructions
thoroughly and follow all warnings and cautions included in literature
and attached to the unit. Consult local building codes and the current
edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) NFPA 70. In Canada, refer
to the current editions of the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1.

Recognize safety information. When you see this symbol
and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
injury. Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING,and

CAUTION. These words are used with the safety--alert symbol.
DANGER identifies the most serious hazards, which will result in severe

personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards, which could
result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe
practices, which may result in minor personal injury or product and
property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will
result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.

mostat.

NOTE: In order to utilize and receive email alerts, this thermostat must
be connected to the Internet via a Wi--Fi signal and the end--user must

Setting Up Wi--Fi and Obtaining a Registration Code

The Comfort Series Wi--Fi Thermostat uses your home Wi--Fi network to
connect to the Internet. First, enable Wi--Fi on the Comfort Series Wi--Fi
Thermostat (see instructions to the right).

The Comfort Series Wi--Fi Thermostat will display a list of available
networks, along with an indication of the signal strength (the more bars,
the better) and whether encryption is used.

If your home network is not listed, or if the signal strength is very low,
try adjusting the antenna on your wireless router. If that doesn’t improve
the signal, try moving your router closer to the Comfort Series Wi--Fi
Thermostat.

8

Once your network has been detected, select it from the list. If the
network is encrypted, you will be asked to enter a password for that
network. This is the password you created when the wireless router was
first set up.

After you provide the password, your Comfort Series Wi--Fi Thermostat
will automatically connect to the Internet. A chain link on the screen
indicates you have established a connection with the Carrier web servers.

Write down the registration code as you will need it when
configuring your Web Portal account. You can leave the code

displayed on the screen while you continue with the next step.

To s et up Wi - F i:

From the Home screen, press MENU.
Select Register Thermostat.
Select Continue.
Select Wi--Fi Settings.
Select Wi--Fi Radio " Enabled.
Select your network from the list.
If prompted, enter your network password.
The Comfort Series Wi--Fi Thermostat will automatically connect to

the Internet and display a registration code.
Write down the registration code; you will need it in the next step.

Having Trouble?

If you are having trouble connecting to the Internet or finding your
Wi--Fi network, you may need to configure your network parameters
manually. See Wi--Fi on Pg. 26.

Configuring a Web Portal Account

After a Wi--Fi connection has been established, it’s time to set up your
personal Carrier Wi--Fi Web Portal. To save time, we recommend having
your Internet--connected device close to the thermostat as you register for
your Carrier Wi--Fi Web Portal.

1. Once the thermostat has been connected to your Wi--Fi network,
record the four--digit Registration Code that appears on the ther­mostat display.

2. Go to www.carrier.com/myhome and select Register Thermostat
from the Login section.

3. Select Create a New Account and enter your email address and
create a password (must be eight characters in length), then recon­firm your password and click Create Web Portal.
