Setup

Initial Setup and Time Setting

1. Charge the Internal Battery: Before first use, plug the timer into a live power outlet for at least 5-10 minutes to charge the internal Ni-MH battery. This battery retains your settings during power outages.
2. Clear All Settings (Reset): Use a pointed object (like a pen tip) to press the RESET button (usually a small recessed hole) to clear all previous settings and reset the unit. The LCD display will show all segments, then return to 00:00.
3. Set Current Time:
   • Press the CLOCK button and hold it.
   • While holding CLOCK, press the WEEK button to set the current day of the week.
   • While holding CLOCK, press the HOUR button to set the current hour.
   • While holding CLOCK, press the MIN button to set the current minute.

Programming On/Off Times

The timer supports up to 16 ON/OFF programs. Each program consists of an ON time and an OFF time.

1. Press the PROG button once. The display will show "1 ON".
2. Press WEEK to select the day(s) for this program (e.g., MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU, or various combinations like MO-FR, SA-SU, MO-SA, etc.).
3. Press HOUR to set the desired ON hour.
4. Press MIN to set the desired ON minute.
5. Press PROG again. The display will show "1 OFF".
6. Repeat steps 2-4 to set the desired OFF time for the same program.
7. Continue pressing PROG to set additional ON/OFF programs (2 ON, 2 OFF, etc.) up to 16 programs.

Operating Instructions

Operating Modes

Press the ON/AUTO/OFF button to cycle through the operating modes:

• ON: The timer outlet is continuously ON, overriding all programmed settings.
• AUTO: The timer operates according to the programmed ON/OFF settings. This is the standard operating mode for automated control.
• OFF: The timer outlet is continuously OFF, overriding all programmed settings.

Anti-Theft Random Mode

This feature allows the timer to randomly turn connected lights or other devices ON and OFF within a set period (e.g., 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM) to simulate occupancy and deter potential intruders. To activate:

1. Ensure the timer is in AUTO mode.
2. Press the RANDOM button (if available, or refer to specific button combination for this model). The display will show 'R' or 'RANDOM'.
3. The timer will now randomly switch the connected device ON and OFF within the pre-set random window.

Memory Function

The built-in Ni-MH battery ensures that all programmed settings and the current time are retained even if the timer is unplugged or there is a power outage. This eliminates the need to reprogram the device after a power interruption.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your digital timer, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the timer with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the unit in water.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the timer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Life: The internal Ni-MH battery is designed for long-term use. If the timer is stored for a very long time without power, it may require a longer initial charge (e.g., 12-24 hours) to fully reactivate the battery.
