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

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,

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.
