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.
