Frequently asked questions

How many schedules can it store?

The listing describes up to nine on/off programs. To run scheduled programs, it says to select AUTO mode.

Does it have a random setting?

Yes. The listing says random mode switches a lamp on and off at varying intervals. It is intended to make a home appear occupied, not to guarantee security.

What happens if the power goes out?

The listing claims built-in battery backup retains programming during a power outage. It also says a flat battery needs one hour of charging to activate the timer.

What is included?

The title identifies a two-pack, but the included-components field only states “1”. The package quantity is therefore unclear in the supplied contents details.
