Heavy Duty 7-Day Digital Timer

OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.

Your RadioShack Heavy Duty 7-Day Digital Timer gives you an easy way to program a lamp, TV, stereo, or other appliance to operate automatically in a set or random pattern.

Its features include:

Up to 98 ON/OFF Weekly Settings — let you program one appliance to turn on and off up to 14 times a day, every day of the week.

Random Switch Setting — turns the appliance on for five minutes to an hour (in a random pattern) four to 12 times a day to avoid a predictable “timer-controlled” look.

Manual Override — lets you turn the automatic timer on and off when you desire.

Various Length Settings — let you program the timer to operate only on a particular day of the week, every day, only weekdays, only weekends, or every day but Sunday.

Highly Accurate — the timer is accurate to the minute, providing you with precise timing in any setting.

INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERIES

Your timer requires two L1154 button-cell batteries (supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

The batteries retain the program during power outages. After removing the batteries, you have 15 seconds to insert new batteries without losing any programs.

Warning: Keep button-cell batteries away from children. Swallowing a button-cell battery can be fatal.

Cautions:

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1.Unplug the timer.

2.Use a small, flat screwdriver to remove the battery carrier.

3.Place both batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

4.Align the notch on the battery carrier with the indention in the holder, then slide the carrier into place.

5.Plug the timer into an outlet.

When the display dims or is weak or unreadable when the timer is unplugged from an outlet, replace the batteries. When you replace the batteries, follow Steps 1–5. If the display goes blank, use a straightened paper clip to press RESET.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the timer for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
