Sun tracking technology: the timer adjusts automatically to sunrise/sunset times. For example, program lights to turn On at sunset and Off
at 10:00pm. As daylight hours extend, the sunset time will increase. For example sunset may be at 5:41pm on Monday, 5:42pm on
Tuesday and 5:44pm on Wednesday. The timer will adjust to this On time accordingly and will always turn off at 10:00pm as programmed.
To Connect/Operate the Timer:
Plug device in to the timer and turn the device on. Plug timer into wall outlet.
Pushing MODE button (after programming and setting are done) will cycle through Auto-ON, Random-ON, Manual-OFF, Auto-OFF, Random-OFF, Manual-ON.
Hope this is of some help.
