How to Program a timed event
1. Place the mode switch in “Prog Set/Review” position.
2. Advance to the desired time.
3. Set the 1-4/5-8 switch to the desired position.
4. Press any of the 4 ON or OFF buttons to set an On or Off time for that Module. This

Special Programming Buttons
1. Mode button. If within 4 seconds after setting an On or Off time, you press
the “Mode” button once or twice until Once shows in the display, you will
modify the program to carry out your programmed event only Once and it will
not repeat on the next day.
Press again (within 4 seconds after setting an On or Off time) until Security is
shown in the display, to modify the program so that your lights (or appliances)
will go on or off at a slightly different time every day (within the programmed
hour). With each press the display shows whether you've selected Once, or
Security. If neither Once nor Security is displayed, the event happens at the
same time every day.
2. Clear Button . Pressing this (in the Prog/Review Mode) cancels the On time
or Off time being displayed.
3. Wakeup Switch . In the “ON” position an internal wake up buzzer will sound
at the time programmed for Module number 1. When this sounds you can turn
it off by pressing any button to obtain the “snooze” feature. This will turn the
buzzer back on in 10 minutes and will do so each time you operate snooze.
The alarm can be cancelled by moving the Buzzer switch to “OFF” and back
to “ON” (for wake up the next morning).
4. Selector Switch. Used to select whether you want your Mini Timer to
instantly control Modules set to Unit Codes 1 thru 4 or 5 thru 8. You can move
the selector switch back and forth to achieve instant control of 8
X10 Modules.
You can also move the switch during programming to select which modules
(1-4 or 5-8) you are setting times for.
Setting the clock
Plug the Mini Timer into any convenient AC outlet. Fit two AA alkaline batteries in the
battery compartment to protect the time and program for up to 48 hours in the event of
a power outage. If the battery is low, dead, or not installed, the low battery indicator will
show in the display.
When you fi rst plug in the Mini Timer the display fl ashes. It also fl ashes if you have had a
power outage and have not installed 2 AA alkaline batteries or if the batteries are dead.
1. Set the mode switch to “Clock Set.”
2. Press the top of the “Time” rocker to advance to the correct time. A
quick press on the rocker will advance the time by 1 minute. If you
hold the rocker down the display will advance to the correct time
faster. If you overshoot, you can use the bottom rocker to go back.
Controlling X10 Modules
Follow the steps below to make sure you can control your Modules before you program the
