Maintenance
The myTouchSmart Digital Timer requires minimal maintenance. Keep the device clean and dry. Do not immerse in water or expose to extreme temperatures.
The built-in backup battery ensures your settings are retained during power outages. No user replacement of the battery is required.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your timer, consider the following:
- Timer not turning ON/OFF: Ensure the timer is securely plugged into a working outlet and the connected device is properly plugged into the timer. Verify that the programmed ON/OFF times are correct and the timer is in "AUTO" mode.
- Display is blank: Check the power connection. The backup battery should maintain settings, but the display requires main power to operate.
- Settings lost after power outage: While a backup battery is present, prolonged power outages or a depleted backup battery might cause settings to reset. Reprogram the timer as needed.
