    Upgrading to programmable ac/heating thermostat
    I am replacing an old thermostat for ac/heating. There are 5 wires red, white, orange, black, green.
    My new unit (Noma programmable thermostat).

    The instructions indicate points of connection using red, white, yellow, green.
    My confusion is, where do I connect orange and black, because there are only wire connections on my new unit, marked, green, red, yellow, white.
