Setting up the Mini Timer

Setting the clock

Plug the Mini Timer into any convenient AC outlet. Place a 9 volt alkaline battery in the
battery compartment to protect the time and program for up to 48 hours in the event of a
power outage. Test the battery by pressing "Once" or "Security." If the battery is low the
battery light will turn on. If the battery is dead or not installed the battery light will be on
permanently.
When you first plug in the Mini Timer the display will flash. It will also flash if you have
had a power outage and have not installed a 9 volt battery or the battery is dead.
1. Set the mode switch to "Set Clock."
2. Press the right hand "Time" rocker to advance to the correct
time. A quick press on the rocker will advance the time by 1
minute. If you hold the rocker down the display will advance
to the correct time faster. If you overshoot, you can use the
left hand rocker to go back.
