faceplate

On most thermostats, you can take
off the faceplate by grasping and
gently pulling or popping it off.
Some thermostats may have screws,
buttons, or clasps.

Do not remove any wires from your

thermostat

4 Make sure there are no

120-240V wires

Do you have thick black wires with wire
nuts? Is your thermostat 120V or higher?

If you answered yes to either of these
questions, you have a line voltage system

and the Lyric thermostat will not work.

Terminals

Be sure to include the letters next to the

terminals where the wires are inserted.

This will be a helpful reference when

wiring your Lyric thermostat.

6 Remove any jumpers

A jumper connects one terminal to

another terminal. It may look like a small

staple or even a colored wire and must

be removed before continuing.

The Lyric thermostat does not need

jumpers.
