ATTENTION: DO NOT INSTALL the thermostat until you have all the necessary network information.

STEP 1: INSTALL THE THERMOSTAT BACKPLATE

Turn off the power to the HVAC unit and follow the detailed instructions included with the thermostat. Make sure the wires are connected to the correct terminals. In addition to the thermostat wires, there are three (3) wires from the Backplate. Connect the RED wire to the R terminal (along with the Red wire in the thermostat cable), the BLACK wire to the 24(c) terminal (along with the common wire in the thermostat cable), and the WHITE wire to the X1 terminal. These wires are shipped in the proper locations and are noted here for completeness.

STEP 2: CONNECT NETWORK CABLE TO BACKPLATE

Once the  thermostat is connected to your network, the backplate LEDs will indicate the following status:
Green LED (Network Connection Indicator):
ON : This indicates the Backplate is connected to your router
Red LED (Faceplate Connectivity Indicator):
Blinking: The faceplate is removed and has communicated with the backplate since the last backplate reset.
NOTE: If both LEDs are not on, refer to the troubleshooting section of this instruction sheet.
