3. Register online for remote access

Before you begin

• View the installation video at honeywellhome.com/ support.
• Small screwdriver
• Thermostat ID card
• Your home Wi-Fi network password

Install your thermostat

Switch OFF power to your heating/cooling system

• Important! To protect your equipment, switch OFF the power to your heating/cooling system at the breaker box or the system switch.
• Confirm power is OFF. Try to turn on heating/ cooling equipment by changing the temperature on your old thermostat. Your power is OFF if your system does not turn ON.
• 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.

Remove the old thermostat faceplate and leave the wires connected

• Take a picture of the wire connections for later reference.
• 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 honeywellhome.com/wifi-thermostat

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

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

Note: If no tag matches a terminal designation, write the appropriate letter on a blank sticky tag.

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

Separate Wi-Fi thermostat and its wallplate
On your new thermostat, grasp the finger holds on the top and bottom of the wallplate with one hand and the thermostat (front) with the other hand. Pull pieces apart.

Mount wallplate for Wi-Fi thermostat

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.

Connect wires

1. Starting with the C Wire, match the sticky tag on the wire to the terminal labels.
2. Loosen the screw, insert the wire on the inside edge of the terminal, then tighten the screw.
3. Verify wire is firmly secured by gently pulling on the wire.
4. Repeat steps 1.7a–1.7c for all other wires.
5. Push any excess wire back into the wall opening after all wires are installed.

Important! C wire is required and is the primary power source. Without a C wire, your thermostat will not power up.

Note: Your application’s wiring might differ from the wiring shown above.

Install a quick reference card

Fold a quick reference card along score lines, and slide it into the slot on the back of the thermostat.

Attach thermostat to wallplate
Align the thermostat onto the wallplate and snap into place.

Switch the heating/cooling system ON

Important!

1. Verify that the C wire is connected to the thermostat and the heating/cooling system.
2. Make sure the heating/cooling system door is firmly secured.
3. Switch power back ON for your heating/cooling system at the breaker box or its power switch.

1. Press s or t to set the clock.
2. Press Set Day.
3. Press s or t to select the day of the week.
4. Press Done to save. (Press and hold a st button to quickly change a setting.)

2. If your system is:
   • Multistage equipment
   • Any type of heat pump
   • Hydronic
   • Other You MUST change the system type by setting system function 1. See “Setting functions and options” in the User Guide.
