After almost a week I am now convinced the LCD display if for looks only. The interval shot timer does not work. It is fake.

hi Vicki, I have not been able to get it to do this. I don't even remember reading that this was possible in the instruction manual but granted I don't have the instruction manual anymore. But after looking at the timer itself -there are a total of 8 timer settings. So you could in essence run it for 1 minute starting at lets say midnight, then it would turn off, then start it again for a minute 15 minutes later, and so on for a total of 8 cycles. But that's really the extent of the extendable programming.

just purchased this and have not set any daily modes for the week, but activated the vacation security mode to see how the random on and off light feature worked. I've also set the day and correct time in this unit,, so far for the last 2 nites, the unit has turned on the lamp at around 6PM but I've manually turned off the unit late at nite before I go to bed because it stays on. during the day, it stays off. I can only surmise that I have to set on and off times for each day & that the random timer works off of that,, otherwise it does not appear to do the random on and off.

After 1 & 1/2 days, the auto mode didn't work. Today, I reprogrammed device again, it worked once. The instructions is a little bit hard to follow. If you do it right, it should work. Hope this help!

I enter the time, but I saw that my daughter just hit start.... maybe there's an automatic setting of 1 minute. We'll have to go back and read the manual, you and I !!!

Sorry i set my timer to run during the night and i have never checked to see it it is functing correctley. Instructions were shipped with the device and it was simple to set ( I think.) I will try to check it this up an comming week end. Then I will get back to you later on this site if you don't already have the solution.

This is not am interval timer. It is an event timer with a weekly schedule. If you needed intervals between 8 AM and 8 PM daily it might work for you.

i don't know...i only programmed it for a consistent time of rest not changing the rest time

Yes. You can also specify the interval between color changes as well. Programming is moderately complicated, akin to setting an alarm on a digital watch. You must push the menu buttons in a set pattern to program. I used mine outdoors and it did not last very long before it stopped working.

This happened to me also. I noticed that the little tabs that determine when the timer goes on were bumped and not fully in or out. I set them correctly, either in or all the way out, and it's been working correctly since. I hope this helps you.

I cannot find the instruction manual, but I think you hold down the auto button until it blinks, then program hour and minute and am or pm good luck

I think you first set the timer to go on and off at selected times, then activate the random mode. Then the unit activates randomly around those times. I don't believe the manual override has any action in what you want to do. I hope this helps.

Maybe it has to do with the phone service provider as to what format they use. I never set mine as it automatically set within a few minutes of being connected to the phone line. I am used to military time from work but if you are not just subtract 12 from whatever number is displayed, for example 17:03 would be 5:03 PM. I would love this device even if it did not have any time listed at all. Our junk calls have really decreased and I have blocked over 80 numbers so far. It is just wonderful. I don't even look to see who's calling until it rings twice.

There's more than one mode, the one your looking for is "cat activation" but it's also based on a timer,.. so if you set it for the sleep mode at 1am, the it allows x hours before it will run again, or it allows x hours till it sleeps ( I think it's 10?) so in that case it would only *not* run from 1am-11am. Call in, their phone support is super helpful and they'll walk you through it.

Sounds like you are using it in the Manual mode. It should be able to toggle the cursor to the "Auto" mode (shows in LCD) in which case the timer function takes over. The On/Off is to manually control it on demand. I don't own this so I don't know if the Man/Auto is controlled by Mode button? But I have other timers and it sounds like this is what you need to do.

I don't think it works like that, if I'm reading you right - like a timer you set to turn off. It goes by an internal clock you set ahead of time where you set the "on" time and "off" time for each event. I suppose you could set the timer right up until the moment you need it to turn on (maybe a few minutes leeway), but again, you'd have to program it to turn off also at a specific time. Hope that helps.
