Once you insert batteries into the transmitter, you will automatically enter

the user setting mode. This mode will last for two minutes in which you can easily adjust the brightness or light sensitivity of the photocell sensor.

Alternately, you can press the RF button on the transmitter to enter the user setting mode.

In user setting mode, turn the BRIGHTNESS DIAL to adjust the light

sensitivity of the photocell sensor.

Use the LED INDICATOR (on front of transmitter) as a reference, so that

you can fine tune the light sensitivity as desired.

The LED INDICATOR of the transmitter will:

> TURN ON - when the photocell sensor detects that it is bright

> TURN OFF - when the photocell sensor detects that it is dark

Press and hold ON/OFF and

together on timer while simultaneously pressing the RF button on the transmitter. (The green LED indicator on the transmitter will flash when RF is pressed).

Once the learn function has been successfully executed,

the symbol will flash on the top right corner of the LCD on the timer, every time the transmitter sends a signal or when the RF button is pressed.

The photocell transmitter can control multiple remote programmable timers.

Repeat and for additional timers (available at your local retailer).

The transmitter uses an intelligent code system to prevent interference

from other sources. But if you do experience such interference, you can press the NEW CODE button to generate a new random house code. However, after pressing the NEW CODE button, you will need to redo the LEARNING procedure as described above.
