White-Rodgers 1E78 Only Manual: Questions and Answers

Can White-Rodgers 1E78 Only work with heat pump systems or cool only systems?

No. This thermostat is designed for heat only systems. It does not support heat pump systems, cool only systems, or any heat/cool combination. User Manual, p. 1

What does the battery symbol mean on White-Rodgers 1E78 Only display?

The battery icon indicates the alkaline batteries are low and need replacement with fresh AAA Energizer batteries. User Manual, p. 2

How do I attach the thermostat base to the wall?

Position the base over the wall hole, mark mounting locations, drill holes, and fasten loosely with two screws. Adjust until level, then tighten.

  1. Remove packing material and pull thermostat body straight off the base.
  2. Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using the appropriate wiring schematic.
  3. Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole locations using base as a template.
  4. Move base out of the way and drill the marked holes.
  5. Fasten base loosely to wall with two mounting screws.
  6. Adjust base until level, then tighten screws completely. For oversized holes, use plastic screw anchors. User Manual, p. 2
