• You can repeat the ON and OFF programming procedures
outlined above for up to 7 events, as needed.
• Do not set ON / OFF events within 30 minutes or less from
one another if you are going to use the timer in the Random
Mode. The Random Mode interval is ± 15 minutes from the
programmed times, and programs set too close together
may overlap one another.
6. When programming is complete, press the CLK (Clock)
button to display the current time.
Reviewing Events Programmed
1. In the current time display, press the PROG (Program) button repeatedly to check your settings.
2. When finished, press the CLK (Clock) button to return the
display to the time of day.
Clearing (Deleting) an Event

2. Press and hold the MODE button.
3. Press the PROG button to clear the setting.
4. When finished, press the CLK (Clock) button to return the

Operating the Time Switch
Press the MODE button repeatedly to set the timer to Automatic,
Random or Manual mode.
NOTE: For the time switch to run programmed events, it
must be set to “AUTO” or “RDM” (Random) mode.
NOTE: After setting events, the timer may turn on the load
if you press the MODE button.
• AUTO — runs all events automatically, according to the
schedule you have set. The word “AUTO” appears in the
display.
• RDM (Random) — runs all events in a RANDOM mode. This
is a security feature in which ON and OFF times randomly
differ ± 15 minutes from the programmed times, creating
a more “lived-in” look. The word “RDM” appears in the
display.
NOTE: DO NOT set the ON / OFF events within 30
Minutes or less from one another if you are going to use
this timer in the RANDOM MODE. The RANDOM MODE
is ± 15 minutes of programmed times and may overlap
one another, causing the timer to possibly not work as
desired.
• MANUAL — turns ON and OFF only when the user presses
the ON or OFF button. The display is blank, showing neither
RDM or AUTO.
Overriding Timer Settings
The ON or OFF buttons override the current programmed
events.
To override the current program (either ON or OFF), press the
ON or OFF button.
NOTE: If the timer is not in “Manual” mode, it will obey the
next programmed event. This allows the user to manually
turn a light on and allow the program to shut the light back
off at a preset time.
Resetting the Timer
In case of an operational failure of the timer, press the RESET
button to clear all settings and restart.
