Introduction

The Fosmon Digital Indoor Timer Outlet is designed to automate the operation of electrical devices by providing a programmable 24-hour schedule. This device allows for automatic power cycling, repeating the same program daily. It features a user-friendly interface for setting ON and OFF times, and includes a manual override function. The compact design ensures minimal obstruction of adjacent outlets. This timer is suitable for various indoor applications, including lighting, fans, and other appliances within its specified electrical ratings.

Setup Instructions

1. Initial Placement: Plug the timer into a standard 125V AC electrical outlet. The timer is designed to occupy only one socket, allowing the neighboring socket to remain available.
2. Internal Battery: The timer contains an internal battery (NiMH 1.2V) that maintains the clock and programmed settings for over 100 hours during power outages or when unplugged.
3. Setting Current Time:
   • Press and hold the TIME button.
   • While holding TIME, press the HOUR button to adjust the hour.
   • While holding TIME, press the MIN button to adjust the minute.
   • Release the TIME button once the correct time is set.

Manual Mode (MODE Button)

The MODE button allows you to manually override the programmed schedule. Pressing the MODE button cycles through the following states:

• ON: The connected device will remain ON continuously.
• OFF: The connected device will remain OFF continuously.
• AUTO: The connected device will follow the programmed ON/OFF schedule.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the timer from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the timer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
• Internal Battery: The internal NiMH battery is not user-replaceable. It is designed to retain settings during power interruptions. The lifespan of the internal battery is finite and may diminish over time.

Troubleshooting

• Device not turning ON/OFF as programmed:
  • Ensure the timer is in AUTO mode.
  • Verify that the current time is set correctly.
  • Double-check the programmed ON and OFF times for accuracy.
  • Confirm that the connected appliance is functioning correctly when plugged directly into an outlet.
• No power to connected device:
  • Ensure the timer is securely plugged into a live wall outlet.
  • Check the MODE setting; it should be in ON or AUTO mode during the programmed ON period.
  • If the timer has a reset button (often a small pinhole), press it with a thin object to reset the unit. Reprogram time and schedule after reset.
• Display is blank or dim:
  • Ensure the timer is plugged into a live outlet. The display requires external power to operate.
  • If the display remains blank after being plugged in for an extended period, the unit may require service.
