Skip to Installing Your New Thermostat (page 9).NO This means you don’t have a C-wire connected to your thermostat. Continue to the next step.Only complete this section if you answered No to Step 10Connecting Your Unused C-WireYou will need: Screwdriver, flashlight, wire strippers Compatibility Check
11. Do you have a zoning panel?You have a zoning panel if you have multiple thermostats and one furnace or heating system.YESC-Wire Adapter installation is more complicated on zoned systems. Go to Honeywellhome.com/contact-a-pro to find a pro installer in your area.NOProceed to the next step.
