If any wires are not attached to terminals in your old thermostat, do not connect them to your new thermostat.
If a wire is attached to a terminal marked “CC” or “CC11,” disconnect it.You will not connect it to your new thermostat.
Wrap the bare metal ends of each unused wire with electrical tape, so it cannot touch and short out other wires.

Label wires and remove old wallplate
Use a screwdriver to disconnect wires one by one.As you disconnect each wire, wrap it with the label matching the letter on your old thermostat. (Adhesive labels are supplied in your thermostat package.)
