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 buttons 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.
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.

• Charge the batteries by plugging into a regular
household outlet for ten minutes.
• Remove the protective battery barrier plastic
insert as shown in illustration B.
• Using a paper clip or pencil, insert into the hole
marked RESET and push in.

BACK-UP BATTERIES
There are two back-up batteries in this timer. The primary battery is a Lithium Ion
3 volt replaceable button cell battery. This Li-Ion battery will work in a temperature
range of -13°F to +122°F (-25°C to +50°C). This battery 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 battery 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 battery will enable
programming and memory retention for up to 5 months without plugging the timer
into an A/C outlet.

The secondary battery 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.
MAKE 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 battery holder.
• Insert fresh replacement battery into battery
holder. Make sure to correctly position the +
positive side of the battery into the holder, by
matching up the + plus sign on the battery to
the + plus sign in a small circle on the battery
holder (illustration D).
• Push-in the battery holder (with battery)
into the slot on the timer housing as shown
in illustration B. Make sure that the + plus
