Alright, so I am trying to install a new RiteTemp Programmable Digital Thermostat with Heat Pump option.

So I am a little confused.

My current old dual mercury thermostat has the following wires:

R - Red
G - Green
W - White
0 - Brown (or maybe orange)
Y - Yellow

I followed those wires that go to the unit inside the house in the closest next to the thermostat and I opened it up and heres what the wires go to:

Green going to G
Blue going to C
White (W) going to W1
Red (R) going to R

Now my new digital thermostat has the following letters:

C B O W2 W Y Y2 RH RC G A

Along with the follow jumpers:

1 2 3A 3B 4 5

I am confused where I would put R to on the new thermostat. From the instructions, it says to jump R to RH & RC.

In the pictures, B on the thermostat actually comes from C on the unit. The instructions say to put C to C.

As for the rest of the wires, would I just put:

G - G (green wire)
C - C (blue wire)
R - RH & RC
W - W
O - O
Y - Y

What about the jumpers? And idea? I think if I can find out which wires go where 100%, then I can finish the directions to find out about the jumpers.
