OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WALL MOUNTING

This unit comes with a wall mounting plate. The plate will make it easy to mount the timer onto an interior or exterior wall. Simply insert 2-4 screws through the holes on the mounting plate and into your wall as shown in illustration A, making sure to position the plate so that the 2 plastic but tons are towards the top. Then, align the 2 holes on the back of the timer to the 2 buttons on the wall plate, and push down to secure the timer. There are 4 holes on the mounting bracket, which gives you many mounting options.

READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY IN ORDER TO SET UP YOUR OUTDOOR TIMER PROPERLY

INSTALLATION CAUTION

The timer is designed to be operated only when in a vertical position (mounted vertically with outlets facing the ground.) Failure to hang the timer vertically may cause water penetration through the outlet and will void manufacturer’s warranty. Plug the timer into a 3-prong grounded electrical outlet. If used outdoors, the timer must be plugged into a GFCI approved outlet.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Charge the batteries by plugging into a regular

household outlet for ten minutes.

• Remove the protective bat tery barrier plastic

insert as shown in illustration B.

• Using a paper clip or pencil, insert into the hole

marked RESET and push in.

• You are now ready to proceed to Timer

Programming.

BEFORE

USE

BACK-UP BATTERIES

There are two back-up batteries in this timer. The primary battery is a Lithium Ion 3 volt replaceable button cell batter y. This Li-Ion battery will work in a temperature range of -13°F to +122°F (-25°C to +50°C). This batter y will last about 5 months from ﬁrst use. Shelf life of the Li-Ion battery before ﬁrst use is approximately 3 years.

The secondary back-up is an internal, rechargeable Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery which will work in a temperature range of -25°C to +55°C (-13°F to +131°F). To fully charge the Ni-MH batter y would take approximately 5 hours. A full charge of the Ni-MH battery should last about 2 months.

Before programming the timer remove the TAB marked (Remove Before Use) as

shown in Illustration B. When removing this tab, the primary battery will provide the necessary power for immediate programming. This batter y will enable programming and memor y retention for up to 5 months without plugging the timer into an A /C outlet.

(Incandescent & Application)

The secondary batter y will kick-in if the primary Li-Ion button cell battery is removed from the compartment, or if the Li-Ion battery becomes drained. The A/C power from a wall outlet will supersede both batteries when the unit is plugged in.

MAK E SURE TO REPLACE THE LI-ION BATTERY EACH SEASON

LI-ION BATTERY REPLACEMENT

• To remove drained battery, use straight head

screw driver and pry out the battery holder from timer housing (illustration C). Remove battery from batter y holder.

• Insert fresh replacement batter y into batter y

holder. Make sure to correctly position the + positive side of the battery into the holder, by matching up the + plus sign on the bat ter y to the + plus sign in a small circle on the battery holder (illustration D).

• Push-in the batter y holder (with battery)

into the slot on the timer housing as shown in illustration B. Make sure that the + plus positive sign on the battery is facing towards the outer wall of the timer.
