FAQs

Can I use this timer for outdoor garden lighting?

What happens if there is a power cut?

The device contains an internal backup battery that maintains your programmed settings during brief power outages.

Can it handle a 3000W heater?

How do I toggle between 12-hour and 24-hour time?

Is the LED indicator always on?
