Instrucións de funcionamento
Programación de horarios de activación/desactivación:
The timer uses push-down pins around the dial to set the on/off intervals. Each pin represents a 30-minute segment.
Identify Pins: Locate the small, grey pins around the outer edge of the dial. Each pin corresponds to a 30-minute interval.
Set "ON" Times: Push down the pins corresponding to the time periods you want the connected device to be ON. When a pin is pushed down, it activates the power during that 30-minute segment as the dial rotates.
Set "OFF" Times: Leave the pins in the "up" position for the time periods you want the connected device to be DESACTIVADO. When a pin is in the up position, it deactivates the power during that 30-minute segment.

Interruptor de anulación manual: The timer typically has a manual override switch (often a slider or button) located on the top or side. This switch allows you to bypass the programmed settings and keep the device either continuously ON or OFF. Ensure this switch is in the "Timer" or "Auto" position for programmed operation.
Conectar dispositivo: Plug the device you wish to control into one of the 4 outlets on the timer. Ensure the device's own power switch is set to the "ON" position.
