4.1 Understanding the Timer Dial
The timer features a 24-hour mechanical dial. The dark part of the dial typically represents nighttime (6 PM - 6 AM), and the white part represents daytime (6 AM - 6 PM). Each segment on the dial represents a 30-minute interval.

Follow these steps to program your G-Homa outdoor timer:
- Lift all pins up: Use a small tool (like a pen or screwdriver) to lift all the pins around the dial to the 'OFF' position.
