2.3 Installation Steps

1. Remove Power: Always disconnect the main power supply to your heating system before starting any electrical work. Remove any existing thermostat and its receiver box.
2. Install Receiver Box: Choose a location near your boiler for the receiver box. Mount it securely using appropriate wall fixings. Connect the power supply and the boiler wiring to the receiver box as per the wiring diagram.
3. Position T6R Thermostat: The T6R is wireless and does not require wall mounting. Place the thermostat on a flat, horizontal surface in your preferred room. Avoid locations exposed to drafts, direct sunlight, or near heat sources. Plug the thermostat into a power outlet for operation.
4. Restore Power: Once all connections are secure, restore power to your heating system.
5. Configuration: The T6R offers a guided setup process accessible directly from the thermostat or via the Honeywell Home app. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect to your Wi-Fi network and configure your heating preferences.

4. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Honeywell Lyric T6R thermostat, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the touchscreen and exterior surfaces with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the display and casing.
• Software Updates: Ensure your thermostat's firmware is up to date. The Honeywell Home app will typically notify you of available updates, which can be installed wirelessly to enhance features and performance.
• Power Supply: Ensure the thermostat remains connected to its power supply. Although wireless, the T6R requires continuous power for operation.

• No Heating/Cooling:
  • Ensure the thermostat is set to the correct mode (Heat/Cool) and the desired temperature is above/below the current room temperature.
  • Check the receiver box for any indicator lights that might signal an issue with the boiler connection or power.
  • Confirm that the boiler itself is operational.
• Wi-Fi Connection Issues:
  • Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is active and broadcasting on 2.4 GHz.
  • During initial setup or reconnection, try temporarily disabling mobile data on your smartphone to ensure it connects directly to the thermostat's setup network.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi router and the thermostat.
  • Ensure the thermostat is within range of your Wi-Fi router.
• Inaccurate Temperature Readings:
  • Verify the thermostat is not placed near heat sources (e.g., direct sunlight, lamps, appliances) or in drafty areas, which can affect readings.
• Display Malfunction:
  • If the display is unresponsive or showing errors, try restarting the thermostat by unplugging it and plugging it back in after a few seconds.
  • If the issue persists, contact customer support.
