Glossary
C wire
The “C” or common wire brings 24 VAC power to the thermostat from the heating/cooling system. 
Some older mechanical or battery operated thermostats may not have this wire connection. It is 
necessary for establishing a Wi-Fi connection to your home network.
Heat Pump heating/cooling system
Heat pumps are used to heat and cool a home. If your old thermostat has a setting for auxiliary or 
emergency heat, you likely have a heat pump.
Conventional heating/cooling system
Non–heat pump type systems; these include air handlers, furnaces or boilers that run on natural gas, 
oil or electricity. They may or may not include an air conditioner.
Jumper
A small piece of wire that connects two terminals together.
MAC ID, MAC CRC
Alphanumeric codes that uniquely identify your thermostat.
QR Code
®
Quick response code. A two-dimensional,machine-readable image. Your wireless device can read 
the black and white pattern in the square and link its browser directly to a web site. QR Code is a

Regulatory information
FCC Compliance Statement (Part 15.19) (USA only)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1  This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2  This device must accept any interference received, 
including interference that may cause undesired 
operation.
FCC Warning (Part 15.21) (USA only)
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the 
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s 
authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Interference Statement (Part 15.105 (b))  
(USA only)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply 
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to 
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed 
to provide reasonable protection against harmful 
interference in a residential installation. This equipment 
generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy 
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio 
communications. However, there is no guarantee that 
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If 
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio 
or television reception, which can be determined by 
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged 
to try to correct the interference by one of the following 
measures:
•  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•  Increase the separation between the equipment and 
receiver.
•  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit 
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV 
technician for help.
Thermostats
To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF exposure 
limits for general population/ uncontrolled exposure, the 
antenna(s) used for these transmitters must be installed 
to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from 
all persons and must not be co-located or operating in 
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
RSS-GEN
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter 
may only operate using an antenna of type and 
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by 
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference 
to other users, the antenna type and its gain should 
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated 
power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for 
successful communication.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1  this device may not cause interference, and
2  this device must accept any interference, including 
interference that may cause undesired operation of the 
device.
