SMJ Electrical Timer Switch DT4B1C Manual

[Deleted User]

Now that the evenings are getting darker I am trying to get the SMJ ElectricalTimer Switch DT4B1C  to work.  I have the Manual.  It says it is easy to set and I am really struggling - I'm afraid I can't make sense of it at all.

I was hoping (and I have searched with Google) to find something easy to follow on You Tube.

If anyone can help at all I'll be more than grateful.  I have spent hours this evening trying to understand and make the instructions work - with no success all.  (It is this one as advertised on Amazon:   "

S.M.J. avantix digital 4 button timer SMJDT4B1C 

Brand: JMS

"

I would really be delighted if I could make just one setting for a small lamp to come on seven days (Monday-Sunday) at about 8 p.m. and go off at about 9.15 pm.  I would need to be able to set 'today's' day and time first and I have not even managed to do that.

If anyone has this timer and can help, or knows of a You Tube link - thank you very much.  I've spent such a lot of time on it, all to no avail, and I'm feeling quite frustrated - especially since the timer is  said to be easy to set.

Set current date and time: 

Press and hold Day for three seconds, display should flash, then keep pressing Day until the right day is selected.

Wait for display to reset, then repeat again to set time, using the hour and minute buttons (the bottom two).  Note 24hr time.

Set a programme:

Wait for display to reset, then press the PGM button.  Use hours and minutes buttons to set time for lamp to come on, and press Day until the arrow is pointing at all of the days.  Press PGM again.  Repeat to set the off time

SImples.

Thank you Neil_Jones.  I'll try following your instructions and post back later. The link for the instructions yo very kindly provided is the one I already have.
I tried so many times yesterday and wondered,  as it had been lying unused for nearly two years, if it was broken.  I appreciate your reply.

Retired_Saver ... UPDATE at 10.44 a.m.  I can only think I must have had brain block yesterdy.  First time, following your instructions this morning, Neil_Jones, it seems to have worked.  I'll know  better later if the lamp comes on, as I hope, I have set it to, here this evening for when it becomes dark.

Many thanks again.
