5.3 LED Indicator Modes
The blue LED indicators on the switch have two operating modes:
- Mode 1 (Default): After a timer is set, the LED flashes twice to confirm the setting, then turns OFF.
- Mode 2: The LED remains ON during the entire selected time delay and turns OFF when the timer expires.
To switch between LED modes, ensure the switch is ON, then press and hold the top two timer buttons simultaneously for 7 seconds. The LED indicator will flash three times to confirm the mode change.
