My old thermostat has this:
O/B = orange wire
RC = red wire
C = blue wire
G = green wire
Y = yellow wire
W = white wire
also their is a black and tan wire that is not been used. Also it does not used batteries.
The new one has a spot for
G
RC
RC1
RH
Y/O
W/B
Y1
I don't know were to place the wires!

Ok, I did some searching for manuals on your thermostat colors and here's what I came up with.
G- Use Green. Blower energizer
RC- Run a short jumper wire to RH in Red. T-stat cooling system power
RC1-Attach the Red wire (T-stat power).
RH-jumpered from RC. T-stat heating system power
Y/O- Orange
W/B - White
Y1 - Yellow. Cooling
Cut the exposed metal off the Common or Blue wire and place a small blue wire cap on it.
Disclaimer: I'm not looking at your system, and you didn't state what your T-stat models were, so I could be wrong. Just try to find the diagram on your unit. If you can't find it, it's OK, because I know which terminal your power is going to, so you won't fry it.
