Initial Setup
Before first use, it is recommended to charge the timer's internal battery. Plug the timer into an outlet for at least 30 minutes. After this period, if the screen does not automatically turn on, press the reset button (usually a small recessed button requiring a pin or paperclip) to activate the display, which should then show 12:00.
Setting Current Time and Day
- Set Hour: Press and hold the CLOCK button, then press the HOUR button repeatedly until the current hour is displayed.
- Set Minute: While still holding the CLOCK button, press the MINUTE button repeatedly until the current minute is displayed.
- Set Day: While still holding the CLOCK button, press the DAY button repeatedly until the current day of the week is displayed.
Programming On/Off Settings
The timer allows for up to 20 on/off settings per day, repeating weekly. Follow these steps to program your desired schedule:
- Enter Program Mode: Press the PROG button. The display will show "1 ON -:-", indicating the first ON setting.
- Set ON Time: Use the HOUR and MINUTE buttons to set the desired time for the device to turn ON.
