1. Initial Charge and Reset

Before programming, plug the timer into a standard 120V wall outlet for at least 10 minutes to charge the internal backup battery. This allows you to program the device while holding it, rather than directly from the wall.

After charging, use a small pointed object (like a paper clip) to press the NULSTIL button. This clears any previous data from the memory and prepares the timer for new settings.

Fejlfinding og ofte stillede spørgsmål

Here are some common questions and solutions for your timer.

Official FAQ Video

Video: A frequently asked questions video from FosPower addressing common concerns and providing solutions for the 7 Day Digital Outlet Timer.

Q: What do I do if the screen is blank?

A: A blank screen indicates the internal battery has no charge. Plug the timer into a standard 120V wall outlet for at least 10 minutes to charge it. After charging, press the NULSTIL button to activate the timer and clear its memory.

Q: Do I need to have the timer plugged in to program?

A: No, you do not need the timer plugged into the wall to program. However, you must plug it into a wall outlet for at least 10 minutes before programming to charge the internal battery. This allows you to program it from the palm of your hand.

Q: How do you change 24/hr to 12/hr mode?

A: To switch between 12-hour and 24-hour mode, press the SÆT og CD buttons simultaneously. This only changes how the time is displayed; your programmed schedules will remain intact.

Q: How to set PM?

A: When setting the hour in 12-hour mode, keep an eye on the AM/PM indicator in the top corner. For example, if the timer shows 12 AM and you want to set 12 PM, you need to scroll through 12 hours until the AM switches to PM. The AM/PM indicator will automatically change as you scroll past 11 AM/PM.

Q: What does the red LED light mean?

A: The red LED light indicates whether the timer is currently passing power to the connected plug. If the light is on, your connected device is receiving AC 120V power.

Q: Why does my timer turn my lamp OFF but not ON?

A: When setting up a device like a lamp on your timer, make sure that the lamp itself is turned ON. The timer controls the power to the outlet, not the internal switch of the device. If the lamp's physical switch is off, the timer cannot turn it on even if it supplies power to the outlet.

Opretholdelse

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your FosPower 7 Day Digital Timer, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

  • Rensning: Wipe the timer with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the surface.
  • Kun indendørs brug: This timer is designed for indoor use. Do not expose it to moisture, extreme temperatures, or direct sunlight.
  • Opbevaring: If storing the timer for an extended period, ensure it is unplugged and kept in a cool, dry place. The internal battery will retain settings for over 100 hours without external power.
  • Undgå overbelastning: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 15A. Overloading can damage the timer and connected devices, and may pose a fire hazard.
