Introduction

How it works
The Mini Timer plugs into any AC outlet in your home and transmits digitally encoded
signals over your house wiring instantly or at the times you set. These signals are received
by the X10 PRO Modules.
You Plug a lamp up to 300 watts into a Lamp Module, an appliance such as a radio, fan, or
coffee pot into an Appliance Module and replace important indoor or outdoor security lights
up to 500 watts with the Wall Switch Module (modules sold separately).

Setting it up
Connect the power supply to the Mini Timer and plug the power supply
into any convenient AC outlet.
NOTE: you must use the power supply that came with the Mini Timer.
The power supply contains circuitry required to control your X10 PRO
modules, so you CANNOT replace it with a regular 12V power supply.
Install two AA alkaline batteries in the compartment on the back, if
desired (to protect the time and programmed events if there's a power
outage).
