Questions & Answers

Help me set the timer. So if I set the current time so that the little arrow points right at the 8 for 8 o'clock, and I depress the pin right opposite the 8, I am guessing the timer might turn itself on when it reaches the depressed pin, which might be 15 minutes before the hour. Does that sound about right? And I should take that into consideration in setting the time?

push the buttons down to turn power on, up for off. set the timer for the times you want it to go on and off. plug the timer in, plug in the device to the timer, look at your cell phone, clock or watch, set the same time by spinning the timer dial to that time. if you want great accuracy of set time wait and do this on a hour, so you can point the arrow at that big number.

            Answer This Question

            Hello Mickey10, Great question and thank you for your interest in our Plug-in Basic Mechanical Timer. With this mechanical timer you will need to pull all pins up first, and then push down the pins for the timeframe you want the device to be active. Next, rotate the timer’s dial clockwise until the pointer on the face of the dial points to the current time of day. Note: Nighttime hours (from 6:30PM to 6:30AM) are highlighted with a black background. Next, set master switch to the “TIMER ON” position. Lastly, plug the lamp into the outlet on the side of the timer and turn the lamp’s switch “On” for automatic control. The timer will not turn the lamp “On” if the lamp’s switch is “Off.” The lamp will now turn on and off at the times you have set. If you have any further questions, please feel free to respond or contact us through phone or email. Thank you, Jasco Products Tech Support (Manufacturer)

                  Hello Geo, Great question and thank you for your interest in our Plug-in Mechanical Timer. With this basic mechanical timer you can override the timer and use your lamp normally (manually), set the master switch to the “OUTLET ON” position. This will deactivate the timer’s control of the lamp, but the timer’s dial will still show the current time of day. To reactivate the timer’s control of the lamp, turn the lamp’s switch on and set the timer’s master switch to “TIMER ON.” If you have any further questions, please feel free to respond or contact us through phone or email. Thank you, Jasco Products Tech Support (Manufacturer)
