Changing to a 12 or 24 Hour Display
The clock is preset to a 12-hour display. To change to a 24-hour display, press the PROGRAM button
or until you see either
“12 HOUR”
or
“24 HOUR.”
Then press the (+) or (-) button to choose
between the two. The “AM” or “PM” symbol on the clock display is only present in the 12-hour mode
on both the main clock display and alarm sub clock display.
Using the Security Mode
This mode is useful when you are away on vacation, or your house is empty, and you wish to give the
appearance that someone is there. To turn on the Security Mode, press the PROGRAM button until the
display reads
“SECURITY OFF”
or
“SECURITY ON.”
Press the (+) or (-) button to switch between
the two options and make sure the security mode is activated. During the security mode, the light will
come on and off randomly between 4 PM and 11 PM. When this function is set, and you’ve exited the
programming mode, the main display will read
“SECURITY MODE.”
To turn off security mode you
must go back through the programming menu.
Setting the Date
Press the program button until the display reads
“SHOW NO DATE.”
In this default mode, the top
part of the display will normally be blank. If you wish to show the date on the display, press the plus or
minus button until the display reads “
SHOW DATE
,” then press the PROGRAM button once each to
set the day of the week, year, month, and day of the month. Press the PROGRAM button once more to
display the date as
“SHOW DATE”
which shows month and date (e.g., “January 17”) or
“DAY AND
DATE”
(e.g., “Tues, Jan 17”).
Power Outage
All programming functions are memorized by the Controller even if the power goes . If the power goes
out for only a few minutes, you will not even need to reset the time.
Troubleshooting
Problem:
The light will not come on, but the clock still works.
Solution
: The bulb may be burned out. Look at the bulb and see if the filament is broken. If it is,
replace the bulb. Also, check to be sure the bulb is fully screwed into the socket. Test the lamp by
plugging it directly into the wall.
Problem:
Neither the light nor the clock is working.
Solution:
First, make sure there is power at the outlet by plugging in another appliance or trying the
Controller in another outlet. Next, unplug the Controller from the wall for several seconds and plug it
in. Finally, try resetting the Controller by unplugging it and then holding in the PROGRAM button
while plugging it back into the wall. In doing this, you will have all the default settings restored.
Sometimes the Controller’s computer chip picks up static charges of electricity and unplugging or
resetting it removes the static. Please note, it may take more than one try to reset successfully.
