Important: Keep this document.
Prior to setting the thermostat, it is necessary to complete all required settings described in this section.
CAUTION!
⚠️ Before commencing any work on the electrical connections, you must first disconnect the device from the mains. None of the 230V connections must be live until the installation has been completed and the housing is closed. Only qualified electricians or authorised service staff are permitted to open the terminal box.
There are parts that carry mains voltage behind the cover. The terminal box must not be left unsupervised when open. (Prevent non specialists and especially children from gaining access to it.)
Ensure that this wireless enabled programmer is installed 1 Metre from any metallic object, television, radio or wireless internet transmitter.
