2. Wiring

IMPORTANT: Turn off power to your HVAC system at the circuit breaker before proceeding with wiring. This thermostat is compatible with most single-stage, multi-stage, and heat pump systems. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your specific HVAC system for detailed connections. If you are replacing an existing thermostat, carefully label each wire before disconnecting it.

Remove the old thermostat.
Mount the new thermostat base plate to the wall using the provided screws and anchors.
Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals on the new thermostat. Ensure connections are secure.
Snap the thermostat faceplate onto the base plate.

3. Battery Installation

This thermostat requires two (2) AA alkaline batteries for operation. Insert the batteries into the compartment on the back of the thermostat, observing the correct polarity (+/-). The thermostat will power on once batteries are installed.

4. Initial Configuration

After power is restored and batteries are installed, the thermostat will guide you through initial setup. This typically includes:

Date and Time: Set the current date and time.
System Type: Select your HVAC system type (e.g., Heat Pump, Conventional Furnace/AC).
Fan Operation: Configure fan settings (e.g., Auto, On).
Advanced Settings: Access the installer menu for specific system configurations if necessary. Consult a professional if unsure.

Maintenance

1. Battery Replacement

When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the two (2) AA alkaline batteries promptly to ensure continuous operation. Typically, batteries last approximately 20,000 hours (over 2 years).

Gently pull the thermostat faceplate away from the wall plate.
Remove the old batteries and insert new AA alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
Snap the faceplate back onto the wall plate.

2. Cleaning

Clean the thermostat's touchscreen and casing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or screen.

3. Filter Indicator

The thermostat may feature a filter change reminder. When this indicator appears, it is time to inspect or replace your HVAC system's air filter. Reset the indicator through the thermostat's menu after changing the filter.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Thermostat display is blank.	Dead batteries or no power to the thermostat.	Replace batteries. Check circuit breaker for HVAC system.
System not heating/cooling.	Incorrect system mode, setpoint issue, or HVAC system malfunction.	Verify system mode (HEAT/COOL/AUTO) and setpoint. Check if fan is set to AUTO. Ensure HVAC system is powered on.
Temperature reading seems inaccurate.	Thermostat location affected by drafts, direct sunlight, or heat sources.	Relocate thermostat if possible, or shield it from external influences.
Humidity control not working.	Humidifier/dehumidifier not connected or malfunctioning.	Check wiring to humidifier/dehumidifier. Ensure the unit itself is operational.
Touchscreen unresponsive or frozen.	Temporary software glitch.	Remove thermostat from wall plate and remove batteries for 30 seconds, then reinsert and reattach.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact a qualified HVAC technician or Emerson customer support for assistance.
