Program 3.  If in the wrong order, error messages will be 

displayed.

b) If only 2 or less programs are required, for the 

remaining programs enter the same on and off times, 

e.g. Prog 3 on 8:00pm, off 8:00pm. This ensures the 

unwanted program is cancelled.

message will displayed.  To overcome this the program 

needs to be split as per example:

make Prog 2 - on 07:00am off 07:00am 

make Prog 3 - on 10:00pm off 12:00am
