INSTALLING THE THERMOSTAT, CONT.
CONNECTING THE WIRES
1. Loosen, but do not remove, the terminal screws.
Note: A jumper wire has been provided,
connecting the RC and RH terminals for
systems that do not provide both an RH and
RC wire. If you have both an RH and RC wire,
remove this jumper. If you do not have both
an RH and RC wire, leave the jumper in place.
2. Match and connect the wires from the wall to the
terminals as shown. Wires should be inserted behind
the black terminal shields. Tighten each screw after
the connection has been made.
(The ends of any extra wires should be wrapped in
electrical tape and carefully pushed back into the wall.)
3. Push any excess wire length back into the wall to
prevent interference.
