PROBLEM POSSIBLE 

CAUSE

CORRECTIVE 

ACTION

If lights do 

not turn on

at dusk.

It could be timer 

is not in a good 

area for light 

meter to function 

as there is too 

much ambient 

light to detect 

darkness.

To correct the 

problem, move the 

timer to another 

location where 

there is no ambient 

light.

If lights do 

not turn on 

even when 

timer is “ON” 

position.

It could be lights 

are not in “ON” 

position, lights 

are not 

functioning, or 

timer is not 

receiving power.

To correct the 

problem be sure 

that lights are 

functional by 

plugging them 

directly into the 

outlet. Be sure that 

lights are in “ON” 

position if they have 

their own switch. Be 

sure that timer is 

receiving power - 

the LED should light 

up when plugged 

into an outlet and 

put in the “ON” 

position.

If lights are 

flashing 

(turning on 

and off).

It could be the 

timer is in Dusk to 

Dawn mode, and 

the light from the 

plugged-in lights 

is affecting the 

light sensor. 

To correct the 

problem, move the

lights away from the 

timer, or reposition 

the timer so that it 

does not face the 

lights.

    Before initial use, please plug in the outlet (A) for at 

least 30 minutes to charge the internal battery. The unit

will be ready for programming after the LCD display 

appears.

  1. Press "SET" button to 

     enter the timer time.
