Push in battery cover until you hear a click. Push reset button
to clear display and reprogram the time-of-day. Replace device
if NoOp will not clear from display.
Make sure timer display shows ‘ON’ then check dimmer oper-
ation at full brightness setting. If timer control is required at

that can be turned on when set low.

tions.

Battery holder is difficult to snap in place

of holder are bent.
Make sure the “+” end of battery is tucked under the plastic tab
of the holder. Line up tabs on bottom of holder with notches
in timer housing when pushing in. Straighten bent contact tabs.
Load turns off immediately after being turned on.
Remote switch or timer wired incorrectly, excessive length of
wire (greater than100’) or buried wiring to remote switch, or
defective timer.
If the problem persists with the red wire disconnected or with
a ‘remote’ switch temporarily connected right at the timer,
replace the defective timer, otherwise try the above remedies.
Battery is worn out, missing or is installed backwards, timer
was operated while battery was removed, or battery was out
too long during battery replacement.

time settings won't interfere with these Astronomic switching
times. Be sure to change the date back to today's date when
you're done.

times.
When using a combination of Astronomic and Specific switch-
ing times, the timer switches at unexpected times or
doesn't
switch when expected.
