wall outlet and turning it on.

program the timer.

10 seconds between pressing a button, or else the timer will return

appliance is set to ON.

Random Setting
You can set the timer to turn ON/OFF at a random period of 2-30
minutes after each programmed time. This feature is particularly useful

sequence of your lights or appliances turning on and off, thus confusing
potential intruders.
