Slide the system switch located on the face of the thermostat to the "Off" position.
Press down on the small notch on the top of the thermostat, roughly in the middle, to detach the battery cover.
Remove the spent batteries and insert fresh AA replacements, making sure to observe the polarity diagram printed on the back of the battery compartment.
Wait while the thermostat performs self tests for 5 seconds. Clip the battery cover back in place and slide the system switch back to "Heat" or "Cool."
