OPERATING YOUR THERMOSTAT
Before you begin programming your thermostat,
you should be familiar with its features and with
the display and the location and operation of the
thermostat buttons. The information in this sec-

thermostat body and the subbase.
Disconnect power from the system at
the circuit breaker/fuse box BEFORE re-
movingorattachingthethermostatbody.

ming. To remove the thermostat body from the
subbase, grasp the thermostat body and gently
pull it out from the bottom of the subbase, then
pivot up. To attach the thermostat body, line up
