Step 15 Ensure no airflow from JBOX or wall cavity is able to seep into the thermostat through the
wire harness. Telkonet recommends the use of UL caulk or UL rated insulating tape as
shown in Figure 9 to avoid false temperature readings.

Step 16 Line up the hinges on the thermostat to the notches on the backplate. See Figure 10
Figure 10: Line Up Hinges on Right
Step 17 Press the right side of the thermostat tightly against the back plate.
Step 18 Slowly bring the left side toward the wall. Use care not to force the faceplate closed. If
you encounter resistance, check to make sure no wires are pinched between components.
Caution: the metal pins (as shown in Figure 11) can be bent when replacing faceplates if too
much force is used.
