Welcome

Congratulations on your purchase of a Honeywell Wi-Fi color touchscreen programmable thermostat. When registered to Honeywell’s Total Connect Comfort Solutions, you can remotely monitor and control the heating and cooling system in your home or business—you can stay connected to your comfort system wherever you go.

Honeywell’s Total Connect Comfort is the perfect solution if you travel frequently, own a vacation home, a business, or manage an investment property or if you are simply looking for peace of mind.

This thermostat works with common 24 volt systems such as forced air, hydronic, heat pump, oil, gas, and electric. It will not work with millivolt systems, such as a gas fireplace, or with 120/240 volt systems such as baseboard electric heat.

MERCURY NOTICE: Do not place your old thermostat in the trash if it contains mercury in a sealed tube. Contact the Thermostat Recycling Corporation at www.thermostat-recycle.org or 1-800-238-8192 for information on how and where to properly and safely dispose of your old thermostat.

NOT I C E: To avoid possible compressor damage, do not run air conditioner if the outside temperature drops below 50°F (10°C).

Need help?

2 Remove old thermostat faceplate

and leave wires connected.

2a Take a picture of the

wire connections for later reference.

2b If no wire is connected to

a terminal labeled C or no C terminal exists on the old thermostat, view the Alternate Wiring videos at wifithermostat.com/support

Important! C wire is required

and is the power source for your thermostat. Without a C wire, your thermostat will not power up.

Note: You will need a

picture of your wire connections to wire the new thermostat.

Terminal designation

If you have an older thermostat with a sealed mercury tube, turn to page 2 for proper disposal instructions.

Installing your thermostat

3 Label the wires.

Use the supplied sticky tags to label each wire as you disconnect it. Label wires according to the old thermostat terminal designations, not by wire color.

Tip: If no tag matches a

terminal designation, write the appropriate letter on a blank sticky tag.

4 Remove old wallplate.

Remove the old wallplate from the wall after all wires have been labeled and disconnected.

Tip: Wrap the wires around

a pencil to prevent them from falling back into the wall.

Mount your new wallplate using screws and anchors included with the thermostat.

If necessary: Drill 3/16-in holes for drywall. Drill 7/32-in holes for plaster.

Note: You may be able to use

your existing wall anchors. Hold the wallplate up to the existing anchors to check for alignment.

Installing your thermostat

Important! The Wi-Fi thermostat requires a C wire to operate. The C, or common, wire

brings 24 VAC power to the thermostat. Many older mechanical or battery operated thermostats do not require a C wire. If you don’t have a C wire, try:

• Looking for an unused wire that is pushed into the wall. Connect that wire to C and check that it is connected to the 24 VAC common at your heating/cooling system. Check the video section at wifithermostat.com

Note: Not all heating/cooling systems label the 24 VAC common C. Check your system

manual or contact the manufacturer to find out which terminal is the 24 VAC common.
