Step 1: Check for correct mode

There are two modes to a standard timer: on and T (Timer). In the "on" position, the power will bypass the timer, rendering it useless. "T" is the position it needs to be in before you set it.

Setting the timer

Usually in the upper corner, there will be a pointer. Rotate the dial so that your current time corresponds to the pointer. So if your current time is 5 PM, then match 5 PM on the dial to the pointer. Then, push down the tabs for the hours for which you want the power to be activated. The other tabs should remain up, and the light will be turned off at these times. For example, if you want the lights to be turned off from 7 AM to 7 PM, then depress all tabs between these two values. This way the lights will automatically turn on at 7 PM and turn off at 7 AM.
