Step 2: Remove Old Thermostat
■■ Test to make certain that your heating and
cooling systems are working properly. If
either does not work, contact your local
heating/air conditioning dealer. To avoid
compressor damage, do not operate the
cooling system when outdoor temperature is
below 50°F (10°C).
■■ TURN OFF POWER to system at the
furnace, or at the fuse/circuit breaker panel.
■■ Carefully unpack your new thermostat and
mounting plate; save package of screws,
instructions and receipt.
■■ Remove the cover from the old thermostat.
If it does not snap off when pulled firmly
from the bottom, check for a screw used to
lock on the cover.
■■ Loosen screws holding thermostat to
subbase, wallplate or wall, and lift away.
■■ Disconnect wires from the old thermostat or
subbase. As you disconnect each wire, use
masking tape to label it with the old terminal
designation. If there are only two wires, they
do not need to be labeled. If there is an extra
wire that is not connected to your old
thermostat, you will
also
not be connecting it
to your new thermostat. Wrap wires as shown
to keep them from falling back into the wall.

Replacing a Clock Thermostat
that has C or C1 Clock Terminals?
If you are replacing a Honeywell Chronotherm®
Thermostat, you can find one or two wires that
go to the C or C1 clock terminals on the
Chronotherm® Thermostat wiring wallplate. Do
not allow them to touch, or you may damage
your transformer. Disconnect the wires and wrap
them separately , using electrical tape.

Do not
Six or more wires?
If there are six or more wires (excluding clock
wires attached to terminals), you probably have
a variation of a heat pump or multistage
system. The thermostat is
not
compatible with
such systems so return the product to the
place of purchase. If you would like information
about which programmable thermostats work
with your system, call Honeywell Customer
Assistance at 1-800-468-1502.
Three thermostat wires?
If you have three wires for heating only and
can operate the fan using the fan ON switch,
this thermostat works with your system.
However, some hot water (zoned) heating
systems have three thermostat wires. The
thermostat does not work without installing an
isolating relay on these systems. For details,
call Honeywell Customer Assistance at
1-800-468-1502.

Step 3: Install Batteries
IMPORTANT
Batteries must be installed for
programming and operation of the
thermostat and heating/cooling
system.
■■ Purchase two AA alkaline batteries; non-
alkaline batteries do not last as long, and
can leak, causing damage to the thermostat
or the wall surface. We recommend
Energizer® batteries.
■■ Make sure the thermostat is set to the OFF
position.
■■ Use a coin to remove the battery door.
■■ Install the fresh batteries as shown, making
sure positive and negative terminals are
oriented correctly.
■■ Replace the battery door.

indicator eventually stops flashing.

stays on without flashing, indicating the
thermostat and heating/cooling system
have stopped working when the batteries
are almost completely dead.
After the batteries are completely dead, the
bAt Lo
indicator disappears, leaving a com-
pletely blank display.
INSTALL TWO AA ALKALINE
BATTERIES AS SHOWN
Press down on the left ends of the batteries to
remove. If you insert the new batteries within
20 to 30 seconds of removing the old ones,
you do not have to reprogram the thermostat.
However, if the display is blank, the batteries
are dead or incorrectly installed and you must
reprogram. See pages 14 and 15 to reprogram.
IMPORTANT
Although the thermostat has a low
battery indicator, replace the batteries
once a year to prevent the thermostat
and heating/cooling system from
shutting down due to lack of
battery power.
As a precaution, when leaving home for longer
than a month, change batteries before you
leave to prevent the system from shutting down
due to lack of battery power.

Step 4: Program Thermostat
After the batteries are installed, the thermostat
can be easily programmed in your hand, before
it is installed on the wall.
If you prefer to program the thermostat after it
is installed on the wall, skip to page 18, and
return later to this programming section.
The following Personal Programming Chart
(pages 12 and 13) can be helpful for planning
your program schedule of time and temperature settings for various times of the day.
Four time periods are available during weekdays — WAKE, LEAVE, RETURN, and SLEEP.
These periods can be seen individually on the
display as you press the SET SCHEDULE key.
WAKE is the time period you want the house at
a comfortable temperature when you get up and
while you get ready for work or school. When
deciding what time to set for your WAKE period,
include extra lead time, depending on the
outside temperature and your furnace response
time, to give the furnace a head start to heat the
house before you get up. (This will be a higher
temperature during heating season, or a lower
temperature during cooling season.)
LEAVE is the time period you can set for an
energy-saving temperature while you are away
at work or school. (This will be a lower temperature during heating season, or a higher
temperature during cooling season.)
RETURN is the time period you want the
house at a comfortable temperature for
activities before bedtime. When deciding what
time to set for your RETURN period, include
extra lead time, depending on the outside
temperature and your furnace response time,
10
69-1012
to give the furnace a head start to heat the
house before you arrive home. (Again, this is
higher heating or lower for cooling.)
SLEEP is the time period you can set for an
energy-saving temperature while you are
sleeping. (Again, this is lower for heating or
higher for cooling. For more comfortable
sleeping, some people choose not to raise the
cool temperature during the night.)
You will set one schedule for weekdays and
another for weekends, because your requirements will probably be different for each. Also,
during weekends, only the WAKE and SLEEP
time periods are available.
Fill in the times and temperatures you desire
for weekdays and weekends. If you decide not
to program the thermostat, it will automatically
control heating at 68°F (20°C), and cooling at
78°F (26°C), 24 hours a day. Also, you do not
need to enter a time and temperature program
for all periods if your schedule does not require
it. For example, a house that is occupied
during weekdays would only require programs
for WAKE and SLEEP.
If no program is entered for the weekends, the
thermostat will operate on the weekday SLEEP
program all weekend.
Before programming, remove the clear plastic
overlay covering the display.
When pressing the keys, use the ball of your
finger or a soft pencil eraser. Using sharp
fingernails or pencil points can damage the
keypad.
If you make an error at any time during
programming, just press the RUN PROGRAM
key, and continue again at the step where you
left off.
