5. Installation
5.1 Pre-Installation Checklist
- Ensure your system is a conventional single-stage (1 Heat/1 Cool) system.
- Turn off power to your HVAC system at the circuit breaker.
- Remove your old thermostat. Take a picture of the wiring connections for reference.
- Label each wire with the provided cable labels according to the terminal it was connected to on your old thermostat.
5.2 Mounting the Thermostat Base
The Miuputake V701 thermostat features a universal sub-base for easy installation. The base can be attached to the wall using the provided screws and anchors.
- Separate the thermostat face from its base.
- Position the base on the wall where you want to install the thermostat.
- Mark the screw holes.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary and insert wall anchors.
- Secure the thermostat base to the wall using the screws.

5.3 Wiring Connections
Connect the labeled wires from your wall to the corresponding terminals on the thermostat's sub-base. Refer to the diagram below for terminal designations. Ensure wires are securely fastened.
Caution: 4 wires must be connected for use. If only 2 wires are used, batteries must be installed. The base can only be attached with a maximum of 2 to 5 wires. Connections with 6 to 8 wires are not suitable.
| Terminal | Function |
|---|---|
| C | Common 24VAC (system power supply) |
| O | Reversing Valve Cool |
| B | Reversing Valve Heat |
| W | Heat |
| RH | 24VAC (system power supply) - Heat = RH to W |
| RC | Cool = RC to Y, Fan = RC to G |
| G | Fan |
| Y | Cool |
If you have both RH and RC wires, remove the metal jumper wire between RH and RC terminals. If you only have one R wire, connect it to the RH terminal and leave the jumper in place.

5.4 Power Supply
The thermostat can be powered by 24VAC from your HVAC system or by two AAA batteries. If your system does not provide a C-wire, batteries are required. When a C-wire is available, batteries provide a backup power source in case of a power outage.
To install batteries: Open the battery compartment on the front of the thermostat and insert 2 AAA alkaline batteries, observing polarity. Close the compartment.

After wiring and battery installation (if applicable), carefully attach the thermostat face to its base.
Important: Confirm whether the size of the product can completely cover the traces of your old thermostat.
6. Operation
The Miuputake V701 thermostat features a simple, user-friendly interface for manual temperature control.
Image 6: Thermostat Layout. This image labels the various components of the thermostat, including the LCD display, temperature adjustment buttons, and the FAN and SYSTEM switches.
6.1 Setting Temperature
Use the large adjustable up (+) and down (-) buttons on the right side of the thermostat to set your desired temperature. The "Set At" temperature will be displayed at the top of the screen, and the current "Room Temperature" below it.
6.2 Fan Operation
The FAN switch has two settings:
- ON: The fan runs continuously, regardless of whether the heating or cooling system is active.
- AUTO: The fan runs only when the heating or cooling system is actively operating.
6.3 System Mode
The SYSTEM switch has three settings:
- COOL: The thermostat will activate your cooling system when the room temperature rises above your set temperature.
- OFF: The heating and cooling systems are turned off.
- HEAT: The thermostat will activate your heating system when the room temperature falls below your set temperature.
The display will show a flame icon for heating and a snowflake icon for cooling when the respective system is active.
