HVAC Selection
 
• Set the HVAC TYPE switch in the NORM position if you have 
conventional natural gas, propane, oil, or electric heat.  If you 
have a HEAT PUMP system set the HVAC TYPE switch to HP.  
• Set the HEAT SOURCE switch in the GAS position if you have normal gas or oil heat or if you have 
a heat pump with gas or oil auxiliary heat. Put the HEAT SOURCE in the ELEC position if you have 
normal electric heat or if you have a heat pump with electric auxiliary heat. 
Install 3 AA Batteries
 
• Install 3 AA alkaline batteries [required] following 
the marked polarity in the battery compartment. 
Put the lower battery in negative end rst against 
the spring, then push the positive end in. Then 
insert the last 2 batteries as shown.  
 IMPORTANT: Press the RESET button (under 
top cover) to implement the HVAC switch selections. 
 
• With all the wires connected it is time to turn the AC power back on. Do this at the breaker you used 
to switch it off. The 3M-30 will power-up in the control OFF mode. Your 3M-30 is not congured to 
operate your HVAC system yet.  You must now congure your thermostat for your HVAC system.
