INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LINK THE RECEIVER
The thermostat and receiver will not operate as a sgstem until
they are linked together through the installation process. The
linking process binds one or more receivers to a thermostat
so that they will communicate with each other as a control
system. Up to eight (8} receivers can be linked to a single
thermostat. Until linked, a control receiver will not operate.
Once linked, a control receiver will only respond to its specific
thermostat.
LINK THE THERMOSTAT TO THE RECEIVER
A thermostat and receiver that have been linked will not
interfere with or be affected bg ang other thermostat or
receiver in adjacent rooms, apartments or neighboring homes.
Linking information is stored in memorg-lt is not necessarg to
re-link a thermostat and receiver if the thermostat batteries are
removed or after a power outage.
If multiple installation teams ore installing and linking
thermostots at the some time coordinate the octivitg to ovoid
the possibilitg of installers simultaneously attempting to perform
the linking process. Because this is on RF system, instollers in
nearby rooms/oreos where it is possible RFoverlap could exist
run the risk of interfering with each othe_ Installation and linking
activity going on around o system already installed will not
interfere with it.
