Mount the timer
Install a screw (included) into the wall. Use the expanding anchors (included) for
plaster, masonry or drywall installations. Hang the timer on the installed screw
using the keyhole slot. Level the timer and drive the second screw through one
of the preformed mounting holes to secure the timer.
Note: If replacing a timer, it is helpful to take a photo of the wires before
you remove them from the old timer.
