Directions say to set device to timer to run times I programmed, then plug in and turn the device on? How do you turn it on?

The little switch near the center has two positions: "ON" and "TIMER". If you put the switch to the "on" position it stays on all of the time. If you put the switch to the "timer" position it will turn on and off at the set times. Hope this helps.

They are talking about making sure the device you plug in is turned on. Set all tabs up for how long you want device on for. You can manually turn the dial to test.

There is a small sliding button on the face of the timer. The choices are "on" and "timer" Move the button to "timer" and the timer will be activated. The "on" position will give continuous power instead of off an on timer power.

No the dial should tun on its own, there isno switch to turn it on that I am aware of, it should start the timer as soon as you plug it in.

Buy a timer and set it to turn on unit whenever you wish. This works great for me.

yes.that is how I use it, an external timer that goes on and off, plug this device into the timer.

I don't think it'll work with a timer. If it is on and then unplugged- when you plug it back in, you have to hit the buttons again to turn it back on.

I set as many timers as I need and then I activate them one at a time or in seriatim or all at the same time. I am not certain this answers your question.

Plug it in for an hour. You should see the time display return to the screen. You can then reprogram or it may still have the on/off time in memory.

You can just plug it in or do as I did. I bought a electric timer for $ 10 to plug the unit into. Works great.

Install an app from apple store, any timer app. Or just get a remote which Its sold separately. I am using an app called timercam:

You have to press the little switch. I don't think it will work with a timer.

I don't know. I just turn it on and turn it off. There are many options for timing. The directions that came with it are very complete and detailed. There is a clock for timing. I wasn't interested in those options so didn't read carefully.

I have not put a timer on mine , but after your question, I tried programming in different cplot,and modes,then cut the power with a wall switch, and it has come back on in the same mode.

Try to do a manual reset and see if that works first. When you do a manual reset ( see instructions) you can then start over again. This timer/switch isn't at all hard to set. I set mine when I first got it and plugged it in and its been running almost a month now without fail. Hope this helps out.

There are two ways to turn it on. 1) manual on full time (stays on till you manually turn it off) and 2) let the light sensor turn it on and the timer will turn it off x hours later.
