• When set to ON, the unit provides continuous power until switched OFF or to another operating mode.
• The POWER indicator glows red when the timer is activated and providing power to the attached device.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM: Devices do not turn on at dusk.

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: The timer is located in an area with too much ambient light for the photocell to sense darkness.
• CORRECTIVE ACTION: Move the timer to a location with less ambient light.

PROBLEM: Devices do not turn on when the timer is in the “ON” position.

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: Connected devices are not in the "ON" position or are not functioning. Light bulbs may need replacement.
• CORRECTIVE ACTION: Ensure connected devices are functional by plugging them directly into an outlet. Verify connected devices are in the "ON" position if they have their own switch. Confirm the timer's outlet is active (LED should light up when plugged in and in the “ON” position). Check and replace bulbs if necessary.

PROBLEM: Lights are flashing (turning on and off).

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: The timer is in Dusk-to-Dawn mode, and light from the connected appliance is affecting the photocell.
• CORRECTIVE ACTION: Move the lights away from the timer, or reposition the timer so it does not face the lights directly.

PROBLEM: Power indicator light is not on.

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: The timer is not fully plugged into the outlet. The circuit breaker connected to the outlet has tripped.
• CORRECTIVE ACTION: Ensure the timer is fully plugged into the outlet. Check the circuit breaker for the outlet and reset it if needed.

PROBLEM: The remote control is not working, or there is a delay in response to the timer.

• POSSIBLE CAUSE: The remote control batteries are dead or the remote control is not functioning.
• CORRECTIVE ACTION: Replace the remote control batteries or replace the remote control.

PROBLEM: The timer is not turning off after 2/4/6/8 HR mode.

• Troubleshooting Steps:
  1. Plug the timer into the wall.
  2. Cover the white photocell sensor on the front of the unit with a piece of black electrical tape.
  3. Set the unit to a 2-hour function. The appliance should activate within 18 seconds of darkness.
  4. After 2 hours, check if your appliance has turned off.
  5. If the appliance turned off, it indicates that ambient lighting (e.g., car lights, window lights) may be affecting the sensor. Place your timer in a darker location.
