Operating Instructions

Programming ON/OFF Times

The timer allows for multiple ON/OFF programs. Follow these steps to set a program:

Press the "PROG" button. The display will show "1 ON".
Use "WEEK" to select the day(s) for this program (e.g., MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU, or combinations like MO-FR, SA-SU, MO-SU).
Use "HOUR" and "MINUTE" to set the desired ON time.
Press "PROG" again. The display will show "1 OFF".
Use "WEEK", "HOUR", and "MINUTE" to set the desired OFF time for the same program.
Repeat steps 1-5 for additional programs (e.g., "2 ON", "2 OFF", etc.).
After setting all programs, press the "CLOCK" button to return to the current time display.

Manual Override

To manually switch the timer's output ON or OFF, or to cycle through modes:

Press the "MANUAL" or "ON/AUTO/OFF" button repeatedly.
The display will cycle through "ON" (always on), "AUTO" (follows programs), and "OFF" (always off). Select "AUTO" for programmed operation.

Connecting an Appliance

Plug the appliance you wish to control into the outlet on the front of the digital timer. Ensure the appliance's power switch is in the ON position if it has one, so the timer can control its power supply.
