5. Setup

1. Set Current Time: Rotate the entire dial clockwise until the current time aligns with the arrow indicator on the timer's face. The dial is marked with hours (1-12) and AM/PM indicators.
2. Set ON/OFF Times: The dial has small segments (pins) around its circumference. Each segment represents 30 minutes.
   • To set an ON period, push the corresponding segments (pins) down towards the center of the dial.
   • To set an OFF period, pull the corresponding segments (pins) up away from the center of the dial.

   Example: If you want an appliance to turn ON at 6:00 PM and turn OFF at 10:00 PM, push down all segments between 6 PM and 10 PM. All other segments should be pulled up.

3. Connect Appliance: Plug the appliance you wish to control into the 2-prong outlet on the front of the timer.
4. Plug Timer into Wall Outlet: Insert the timer into a standard 120V indoor wall outlet. Ensure it is securely plugged in.

6. Operating Instructions

Once set up, the timer will automatically turn the connected appliance ON and OFF according to the programmed schedule. The internal mechanism will continuously rotate the dial, activating the pushed-down segments (ON) and deactivating the pulled-up segments (OFF) as the current time passes them.

• The timer operates on a 24-hour cycle, repeating the same schedule daily.
• To temporarily override the timer, simply unplug the appliance from the timer or unplug the timer from the wall outlet.
• To adjust the schedule, unplug the timer from the wall outlet and reset the pins as described in the "Set ON/OFF Times" step.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Unplug the timer from the wall outlet before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: If storing the timer for an extended period, ensure it is clean and dry. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
