Installing your thermostat RTH9585WF Smart Series
You might need the following tools to install this thermostat:

• No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
• Pen
• Pencil
• Level (optional)
• Drill and bits (3/16” for drywall, 7/32” for plaster) (optional)
• Hammer (optional)
• Electrical tape (optional)

1. Switch OFF power to your heating/cooling system. Important! To protect your equipment, switch OFF the power to your heating/cooling system at the breaker box or the system switch.
2. Remove old thermostat faceplate and leave wires connected. Take a picture of the wire connections for later reference. If no wire is connected to a terminal labeled C or no C terminal exists on the old thermostat, view the Alternate Wiring videos at honeywellhome.com/wifithermostat or reference the C-wire addendum in the box.
3. Label the wires. Use the supplied sticky tags to label each wire as you disconnect it. Label wires according to the old thermostat terminal designations, not by wire color. Note: If no tag matches a terminal designation, write the appropriate letter on a blank sticky tag.
4. Remove wallplate. Remove the old wallplate from the wall after all wires have been labeled and disconnected. Note: Wrap the wires around a pencil to prevent them from falling back into the wall.
5. Mount wallplate for thermostat. Mount your new wallplate using screws and anchors included with the thermostat. If necessary: Drill 3/16-in holes for drywall. Drill 7/32-in holes for plaster. Note: You may be able to use your existing wall anchors. Hold the wallplate up to the existing anchors to check for alignment.

3. If your old thermostat had both V and VR wires, check honeywellhome.com/wifi-thermostat for help.
4. If your old thermostat had separate O and B wires, and is controlling a single zone heat pump system, attach the B wire to the C. If there is more than one thermostat controlling the system, call Resideo zoning at 800-828-8367 for wiring assistance.
5. If your old thermostat had separate Y1, W1, and W2 wires, check honeywellhome.com/wifi-thermostat for help.
