# CONNECT SERIES - How do I clear the memory of the room thermostat (LW921)?

This process resets the thermostat so it can be paired again with a boiler switch or heating device.

---

#### 🔧 What You’ll Need

- Your **Lightwave LW921 Room Thermostat**
- Access to the **paired switch or receiver** (if applicable)

---

#### 🔁 Step-by-Step Instructions

### 1. Access the Thermostat Controls

Start by waking up the thermostat screen if it’s idle.

---

### 2. Enter Reset / Pairing Mode

- Press and hold the **pair/reset button** (usually located on the device or under a flap).
- Keep holding until the display changes or indicates it’s in pairing/reset mode.

👉 This step prepares the thermostat to forget its previous connection.

---

### 3. Clear the Stored Memory

- Continue holding the button until the thermostat confirms the reset.
- This may show as: 
    - A flashing icon
    - A reset message
    - Or the device returning to default settings

Once complete, the thermostat has **cleared its previous pairing memory**.

---

### 4. Re-pair the Thermostat

Now the device is reset, you can pair it again:

- Put your **boiler switch / receiver** into pairing mode.
- Trigger pairing from the thermostat (usually a button press).
- Wait for confirmation (LED flash or on-screen message).

---

#### ✅ What This Fixes

- Thermostat not connecting to a switch
- Pairing stuck or incorrect
- Device previously paired to another system

---

#### ⚠️ Tips

- Stay close to the receiver when pairing
- Make sure only one device is in pairing mode at a time
- If pairing fails, repeat the reset process once more
