4.1 Initial Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the timer from its packaging.
2. Plug In: Insert the timer into a standard 120V AC grounded wall outlet. The LCD display should illuminate.

2. Press the DAY button repeatedly to select the current day of the week (MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU).
3. Press the HOUR button to set the current hour. Pay attention to AM/PM indicators.
4. Press the MIN button to set the current minute.
5. Once the time and day are set, the display will return to normal operation after a few seconds of inactivity.
