Setup

Initial Plug-in: Plug the Avidsen 103800 timer into a standard 230V, 50Hz wall socket.
Set Current Time: Rotate the central dial clockwise until the arrow indicator aligns with the current time of day. The dial is marked in 24-hour format.
Program ON/OFF Times: The dial is divided into segments, each representing 15 minutes. Push down the segments corresponding to the times you want the connected appliance to be ON. Leave the segments up for the times you want the appliance to be OFF.
Connect Appliance: Plug the appliance you wish to control into the timer socket.
Select Operating Mode: The timer typically has a switch for different modes (e.g., ON, OFF, TIMER). Set this switch to the "TIMER" position for automatic operation.

Note: The timer does not require batteries as it is mains powered.

Operating

Once set up, the timer will automatically switch the connected appliance ON and OFF according to your programmed schedule.

Manual Override

If your timer has a manual override switch (often labeled ON/OFF/TIMER), you can temporarily bypass the programmed schedule:

ON: The appliance will remain continuously ON, ignoring the timer settings.
OFF: The appliance will remain continuously OFF, ignoring the timer settings.
TIMER: The appliance will operate according to the programmed schedule.

Refer to the specific markings on your device for exact switch positions.

Maintenance

Cleaning: Disconnect the timer from the wall socket before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
Storage: Store the timer in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Inspection: Periodically check the timer and its plug for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
