how to set the timer

This was a great gift but setting the timer did not seem very intuitive. Unfortunately, the clock was a gift for someone and I don't have access to it to refresh my memory... but I do remember I tried many things and was about to give up... then found directions after an internet search. Wish I could be of more help. Good luck!

Scott, it's been about a year since I bought mine. I do remember it is a bit confusing to set. I don't know where my original instructions for setting it are. The last time I changed it I just started pressing buttons until I figured out what was happening. I work with computers as a career, so it wasn't too difficult for me. If I can try to do something to help you, let me know.

You set the timer for up to 3 times a day and set the amount of food to be dispensed. This will automatically dispense the amount you set at a certain time every day. Batteries last months. Hope this helps.

Same as what was previously posted with some additional clarification: "press prog button once. Hit the hour and minute button ( must hit the minute button at least once) to desired time. Hit prog again to set the time off button. When done press clk to return to current time" You can have more than one on/off cycle per day so when done entering the time off it is prompting for the next on/off cycle to be input the same as you just did. Do this in chronological order. When all on/off cycles are input then press the clk button to return to current time.

It is actually very easy to set. The left connector is labeled A and the right one B. Put in the battery and set the hour. A number will appear on the screen. That number corresponds to the day on which you set the timer up. In other words, if you set it up on a Wednesday, the number one that appears on the screen corresponds to Wednesday. Or you can set it up on Monday and the number will correspond to Monday. You set the open and close times, pick the days to water, etc... Our entire property is watered using these timers. We have been using them for over a year without any problems. I hope this helps. It is actually very easy to set. The left connector is labeled A and the right one B.

There is an off button at the bottom. You press and hold one of the buttons, the top one I think, to override the timer and keep it constantly on.

The current time is set by spinning the dial and matching the labeled time on the outside dial with the inner marking for current time. You tell it when you want it on and off by pulling the tabs out (to tell it you want the outlets off) and pushing them in (to tell it you want the outlets on). The toggle switch goes between always on and timer mode - the clock is for the timer. I had to use my fingernail to make my timed settings and still had to move the dial around to get all of the timer settings. I then set the current time after that.

There should be a button on the left side that says set. Hold it in until the screen flashes then use the mode button to switch between each item to set like hour minutes month day year etc.. I believe the button on the right adjusts the numbers up or down.

You set the sleep timer by pressing and holding down the on/off button until the icon starts blinking at the top of the LCD display. It looks like someone laying on a bed. Once the icon starts blinking release the button and turn the tuning knob to the time value you want. It ranges from 1 to 99 minutes. Bear in mind that you have approximately 5 seconds to accomplish this. So you have to be quick. The alarm is even more complicated. You have 4 to chose from - controlled by buttons F1, F2, F3, and F4. With the radio OFF, press the F1 button and hold down until the time digits start blinking. At that point you set the start time with the tuning knob, then set the day with the "F" buttons, now press the "Time/Page" button, then set the volume with the knob, then the Page/Time button again, then set the "delay" with the knob, Page/Time again, then the station memory with the knob and "F" buttons, then the Page/Time button to exit. And if, by some miracle, you did this correctly...you're all set. Got it?

To set time: Turn the Function Knob to Clock. Press and hold the Hour or Minute button until the clock begins flashing (this takes a bit of time). Hold down the Hour or Minute button to scroll through the numbers. When desired time approaches, release the button and press repeatedly to advance one digit at a time. To finish, wait for the numbers to stop flashing.

I have never seen a timer (and I have four different ones) that can do what you are asking. You can set it for 20 seconds, and it will ding. It automatically goes back to 20 seconds again when you press the stop. Maybe the answer is to buy two timers, set them on different time lengths and go from there.

The timer is started byy an on/off switch in the back. The only way to "pause" the time allotted, would be to turn the clock off and then turn it on again to resume.

All you have to do is select one of the 3 timer areas (T1,T2 or T3), then using the number keypad, type in your time making sure you type in the required amount of numbers to have it be hours, minutes or seconds and then hit start. For example, for 45 minutes, you'd type in 4500. Simplest timer I've ever worked with. I just love it.

You cannot set a start time. It automatically starts the cycle from the time that you set the duration and cycle on the circular dial. i.e. if you turn the dial to the 5 minute "every other day" setting at 2:00 pm, then the timer will turn on at 2:00 p.m. every other day for 5 minutes. When setting the duration and cycle, be sure to turn the dial to Off first, and then set the cycle.

When it is in radio mode press the power button to display the time. Press and hold the clock button on the side to enter the clock setting mode. Use the tuning buttons up and down to adjust the hour. Press the clock button again to adjust the minutes. Press the clock button again to exit.My batteries don't last very long either. Don't know why.
