Operating Instructions

Control by Receiver
Press the select button to choose a ifferent timer mode. The indicator will show the current timer setting.

Control by Remote

1. Press the ON or OFF button to turn the receiver power ON or OFF.
2. Press button 2H, 4H, 6H, 1 OH, or 8H to turn on the receiver when sensing dusk, then off after that specific hour you selected. The power will be turned ON daily.
3. Press (dusk-to-dawn), the receiver will turn ON when sensing dusk and off at dawn.

NOTE: 

1. Once programming activates at dusk in the 2Hrs, 4Hrs, 6Hrs, 8Hrs, or 10Hrs mode, the program cycle will complete before the timer resets. Headlights, porch lights, street lamps, and other external lighting sources will not interfere with the active timer program.
2. In the dusk-to-dawn mode, temporary light sources like headlights, porch lights, and other external light sources will not interfere with the photocell function unless the external light source is on for more than 15 minutes. In that case, the timer will shut off until darkness is restored.
3. When set to “ON”, the timer will provide continual power to attached devices until the timer is switched to “OFF”, or to any of the other operating modes
4. Position the yard stake away from other light sources. If it is too close to other light sources, or if the photocell is facing a light source other than the sun(such as a porch light or street lamp), the yard stake may shut off outside of the timer setting you chose. If this happens, relocate the yard stake or eliminate other light sources. Keep yard stake and power cord out of common walkways to prevent tripping.
