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.

- Storage: Store the timer in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Battery: The internal battery is designed for long life and typically does not require replacement. If the display becomes dim or settings are frequently lost, ensure the timer is regularly plugged in to charge the battery.
