About the Demonstration Mode
The Dial Timer function has a Demonstration Mode that allows the user, such as a
salesperson, to enter more than six examples of timer settings when demonstrating
the use of DIAL TIMER. It cancels the FULL notice which appears if six
programmes have already been set. Do not use the Demonstration Mode for making
timer recordings. Doing so may cause the settings to be inaccurate.
To activate the Demonstration Mode
Press X on the unit while turning
DIAL TIMER. “DEMO” appears in the display
window for a few seconds.
To cancel the Demonstration Mode
Turn the power off and unplug the mains lead. Although the Demonstration Mode is
cancelled, the timer settings entered while using the Demonstration Mode will
remain. Be sure to manually cancel the timer settings before you use DIAL TIMER
or any other timer method after reconnecting the mains lead (page 56).
