Maintenance

Cleaning: Disconnect the timer from the power outlet before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.

If settings are consistently lost during power interruptions, the internal battery may need servicing by a qualified technician.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Timer display is blank or not responding.	No power to the outlet; internal battery depleted.	Check the wall outlet with another device. If power is present, the internal battery may be fully discharged. Leave plugged in for several hours to charge. If still blank, contact support.
Programs are not activating at set times.	Incorrect time/day setting; program not saved correctly; manual override active.	Verify current time and day are set accurately. Re-enter and save programs carefully. Ensure manual override is not active.
Settings are lost after a power outage.	Internal backup battery is no longer holding a charge.	The internal battery may need replacement. This is not user-serviceable. Contact manufacturer support.
Device plugged into timer does not turn ON/OFF.	Device is faulty; timer is faulty; timer is in OFF state.	Test the device directly in the wall outlet. Ensure the timer is in the correct ON/OFF state or programmed correctly.

Resetting the Timer

If the timer is behaving erratically or you wish to clear all settings, you can perform a factory reset.

Locate the small RESET pinhole below the LCD screen.
Using a paperclip or similar pointed object, gently press and hold the button inside the pinhole for approximately 3 seconds.
