I have the Maple Chase 9700 model thermostat and I live in a very dry climate. Several times I have touched the controls (although it is programmable we do the manual) and the static electricity has askewed the settings. Can you give me a quick fix to repair the problem. I cannot find anything in the manual to assist me with this issue.

I have a 9700 Maple Chase thermostat and I live in a very dry climate. Several times I have touched the thermostat and the static electricitry has askewed the settings. Is there a quick fix for this problem? I've checked the manual and can't seem to find anything to address this issue.

Does the tstat have a wire connected to the C--common post ? Does it have to have a battery to operate? This will answer the question without having to examine the wiring
