ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES

If this timer does not function properly for any
reason, please replace battery with a new high
quality battery (see “Battery Replacement”
section). Low battery power can occasionally
cause any number of “apparent” operational
difficulties. Replacing battery with a new fresh
battery will solve most difficulties.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

An incorrect display, no display or operational
difficulties indicate the battery should be
replaced. Use a coin to open battery cover on
back of timer (turn cover approximately 1/8 turn
counter-clockwise). Equivalent battery replace­ments are: RAYOVAC RW42, DURACELL D357,
and EVEREADY 357. Insert battery with positive
side facing you. Replace battery cover.
