Intermatic HB800 Series - User Manual

Day Of Week (DOW) Display — events can be programmed for
just one day of the week, all the days of the week, just weekdays
or just weekends
Event Display — the timer can be programmed for up to 28 total
ON/OFF events per week
Mode Display — the timer can display several modes during
setup and programming and three modes during operation:
MANual, AUTO and RANDom. MANual allows for manual operation
of the plugged-in devices, AUTO uses the timer’s exact settings
and RANDom uses the timer’s settings varied by random 5-minute
increments of ±30 minutes.
Output Status Indicator — this is the ON/OFF indicator. When the
green light is on it means that the lamp or appliance should be
on. If it is not on, the bulb may be burned out or the device may
be turned off at the lamp or appliance.
NOTE: You may set up and program the timer before you plug it
in. Be aware that while it is unplugged, the display will turn off to
conserve battery power if there is no pushbutton activity for a few
minutes. If this happens, simply push any button to turn the display
back on.
