Safety Information
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
- Plug directly into an electrical outlet
- Do not use in wet locations
- Use indoors only
- Unplug timer before cleaning
- Keep children way
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC FIRE:
- Do not use to control appliances that contain heating elements such as cooking appliances, heaters, and irons
- Do not exceed electrical ratings
- Do not use with extension cords
CAUTION: DO NOT PLUG IN MORE THAN THE RATED LOAD (SEE RATINGS). Find the total watts being used: If watts are not marked on the appliance, multiply ampere rating (on nameplate) by 125 volts to determine equivalent watts. For lamps with multiple bulbs, add the wattage on the bulbs.
NOTE: This is a POLARIZED device. It has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and a polarized outlet (one slot is longer than the other). The polarized plug is not intended to be mated with non-polarized outlets (where both slots are the same size). A polarized outlet is intended to mate with a polarized plug in only one way—the longer slot with the wider blade.

Product Description
- TIMER SEGMENT BUTTONS: These segments, each representing 30 minutes, can be pushed down from the edge of the dial, and are used to program the timer ON/OFF times.
- ROTATING TIMER DIAL: This dial can be turned only clockwise. It points to the current time of day on the Time Readout.
- TIME READOUT: Displays each hour of the day (nighttime hours are shown with a shaded background, while daylight hours are shown with white).
- MASTER SWITCH: TIMER ON=Activates timer control of the device being used, OUTLET ON=Overrides the timer and enables normal use of the outlet.
Operating Instructions
Programming ON/OFF times
NOTE: Ensure all segments are pulled up before programming.
- Select a time period (or periods) you want the device turned on.
- Push down ALL the segments (1) that fall on or within that time period. You may need to turn the dial clockwise to access the desired segments.
- Turn the rotating timer dial (2) clockwise until the pointer on the face of the dial points to the current time of day.
NOTE: Nighttime hours (from 6:30PM to 6:30AM) are highlighted with a grey background.
Preparing the timer for use
- Plug the device into the outlet on the side of the timer.
- Ensure the device is switched ON for automatic control. (The timer will not turn the device ON if the device is switched OFF.)
NOTE: To override the timer and use your device normally, set the master switch to the OUTLET ON position. This will deactivate timer control of the device. To reactivate timer control, ensure the device is turned ON, and set the timer master switch to TIMER ON. In case of power failure, reset the time of day as explained in step 1.
Using the timer
- Set the master switch (4) to the TIMER ON position.
- Plug the timer into an electrical outlet nearest to the device to be controlled.
- The device will now turn ON and OFF at the programmed times.
