Setting up the Mini Timer

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 first plug in the Mini Timer the display will flash. It will also flash if you have had a power outage and have not installed two 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.
