About the Batteries

The battery voltage is continuously monitored. If a low voltage is detected, the low battery indicator will be displayed. (Fig. 9).
The timer requires two LR44 batteries to keep time up to three months without power.
Replace the batteries as soon possible after the low battery indicator appears.
Change the batteries within one minute of unplugging in order to keep the time and date settings. Afterwards, if the display is wrong or flashes “12:00 AM”, reset the time and date. All other settings (your ON and OFF programming) remain in memory indefinitely without battery or AC power.
While the batteries are removed, the timer will turn off the display to conserve power.
Dispose of the used batteries promptly according to local regulations. Keep batteries away from children.

Replacing the Batteries

Unplug timer before replacing batteries. To remove the batteries, carefully pry the battery holder up with a small flat screwdriver. Install the new batteries as shown in Fig. 10. Firmly place the battery holder into the switch.

Troubleshooting Guide

Observed Problem	Possible Cause	What to Do

Battery symbol always shows in the upper right of display when plugged in or nodisplay at all when unplugged and buttons are pressed. (Note: battery display takes 1 minute to recognize installed or removed batteries.)| Low, missing, or backwards batteries, pull tab not removed, or poor contact in battery holder.| Remove pull tab. Verify correct battery direction per outline on inside or “+/-” on outside of holder. Bend contacts of battery holder to touch the batteries firmly. Replace both batteries. Use 2 type LR44 or A76.
Digital timer does not switch on/off but display looks normal.| Digital timer is not set in AUTO, RANDom, or MANual mode.| Press MODE to select the operational mode you want to use; or make sure an ON/OFF schedule is set.
Digital timer won’t enter AUTO or RANDom mode when you press MODE.| The time of day or timer settings have not been set.| Make sure the time of day and at least one scheduled activity have been set.
**** Digital timer switches at incorrect times or skips some of the programmed times.| Programmed schedule(s) are incorrect.| Press PROG to review the settings and revise them as necessary. See instructions.
Digital timer is in RANDom mode, which varies switching times up to ±30 minutes (to give your home a “lived-in” look).| If you don’t want to keep the timer in RANDom mode, press MODE to change to AUTO mode.
The Astronomic and exact switching times are in conflict. For example, you’ve set on to DUSK and off at 8 pm, and due to seasonal changes, DUSK has advanced to 8:30 pm.NOTE: Your timer automatically skips any conflicting ON event as summer approaches to prevent unwanted operation of lights or other controlled devices. See “What to Do” if you want to identify and remove conflicting settings.| 1. Complete the steps for setting the Time and Date, then temporarily change the date to June 21st.2. Review the DAWN and DUSK settings by pushing the PROG button.3. Make sure the specific ON or OFF time settings won’t interfere with these DAWN and DUSK times. Make changes as necessary.4. When finished, change the Date setting back to today’s date.
The lights or controlled devices don’t match the programmed on/off status immediately after setting the time or programming a schedule.| Digital timer does not “catch up” automatically to the programmed load state. The status of the timer will remain as is until it comes to the next programmed on/off time.| After programming your events or the time, then returning to the AUTO mode, push the ON/OFF button to change the load state if necessary.
Timer shows ON but the light or other controlled device is off.| The light or controlled device itself may be switched off or the light bulb may be burned out.| Make sure the light or controlled device is switched on and plugged in or replace the light bulb.
