sure the connected appliances are in the "ON" position if they have their own switch. Make
sure the power outlet which the timer is plugged into is active.

Appliances come on before or after programmed times.
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
"CURRENT TIME" was not properly set.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Check that the current time is correctly set. Note that the black section includes hours from

Use of Extension Cords with Garden Spike Outlet Timer
Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least 15 amps and has a third-wire
ground. When a long extension cord is used to connect this product, a voltage drop occurs.
The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage being supplied
to the product and increases the amount of current (amp) draw or reduces performance. A
heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage drop. Be sure to choose a cord
that will supply enough voltage to operate the product and items connected to it. The table
below indicates appropriate gauge for extension cords.
