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.
