1. Remove mounting plate from the wall, and drill
3/16 inch holes in wall (if drywall) as marked. For
firmer material such as plaster or wood, drill
7/32 inch holes. Gently tap anchors (provided) into
drilled holes until flush with the wall.
2. Reposition mounting plate over holes, pulling
wires through wiring opening. Loosely insert two
mounting screws into holes.
3. Level for appearance only; the thermostat will
function properly even when not level. Tighten
mounting screws. See Fig. 2.

Adjust Fan Operation Switch,
as Required
The Thermostat fan operation switch, labeled FUEL
SWITCH is factory set in the F position. See Fig. 4. This
is the correct setting for most systems. If your system is
an electric heat system, set the switch to E. The E setting
allows the fan to turn on immediately with the heating or
cooling in a system where the G terminal is connected.
Adjust System On-time, as Required
The system on-time is factory-set for a warm air, gas or
oil heating system. If you are installing it on another type
of system, the system on-time must be adjusted
accordingly by setting screws A and B on the back of the
thermostat. Use the heating system table shown in Fig. 3
as a guide. The system on-time should be optimized
according to the type of system to minimize room
temperature swings. Setting the screw
means turning the screw approximately 360° or one
complete turn. Setting the screw in means tightening the
screw completely down.
In the event that you want longer furnace on-time,
readjust the screws A and B as follows:
• Warm Air Furnace—set at the Hot Water setting (A—
out one turn, B—in).
• Electric Furnace—Leave at the Warm Air Furnace
setting (A—in, B—in).
NOTE: This thermostat does not have a setting for
steam/gravity air. Cycles would not be long
enough for accurate temperature control.

Installing Batteries
IMPORTANT
Batteries must be installed for programming and
operation of the thermostat and heating/cooling
system.
1. Use two AA alkaline batteries; nonalkaline
batteries will not last as long, and can leak,
causing damage to the thermostat or wall surface.
Energizer batteries are recommended.
2. Make sure the thermostat is set in the OFF position.
3. Use a coin to remove the battery door. See Fig. 11.
4. Install the new batteries making sure positive and
negative terminals are oriented correctly. See
Fig. 12.
5. Replace battery door.

LEAVE
As the batteries are running low, a “bAt Lo” indicator flash
for one to two months before batteries run out completely.
Replace the batteries as soon as possible after the
indicator starts flashing. If the batteries are not replaced
sometime during the flashing “bAt Lo,” the indicator
eventually stops flashing. “bAt Lo” will stay on without
flashing, indicating the thermostat and heating/cooling
system have stopped working and the batteries are almost
completely dead.
After the batteries are completely dead, the “bAt Lo”
indicator disappears, leaving a completely blank display.
To remove, press down on left ends of batteries. If the
new batteries are installed within 20 to 30 seconds of
removing the old ones, the thermostat does not have to
be reprogrammed. If the display is blank, the batteries
are dead or incorrectly installed and the thermostat has
to be reprogrammed. See Owner’s Manual for
programming instructions.
