Disregarding cautions could cause damage, fire, or fatal shock.

Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference,

and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are 

designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television

measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 

CAUTION

1. Risk of Fire. Not for permanent installation. Use only with a total of 15 ampere maximum Christmas-tree or other seasonal lighting products. Do not 

  install or use this product for more than a 90-day period.

2. If using Christmas tree or decorative-lighting products that are not marked with an ampere rating, connect no more than 140 screw-base lamps (C7 or C9) or 12 

  strings with midget (push-in) lamps to this cord set.

3.  Cord sets shall be plugged into a GFCI-protected receptacle.

4.  If using an outdoor-use cord set for an extended period of time (greater than 90 days) consider hard wiring a permanent outdoor-use receptacle rated for 

  year-round use in the area that power is needed. Please contact a Licensed electrician for proper installation of permanent wiring.

5.  After completion of installation, the connector shall be maintained a minimum of 6 inches above ground.

6.   Position your Power Stake with Timer away from other light sources. If your Power Stake with Timer is too close to other light sources, or if the photocell is facing 

  a light source such as a porch light or streetlight, the photocell may turn off the fixture outside of the timed settings. If this happens, relocate the Power Stake  

  with Timer or eliminate those other light sources. Keep from light source, light can turn outlet off & keep unit and cord out of walkway.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

Possible Cause

Lights do not turn on at dusk

Lights do not turn on, even 

when timer is in “ON” position.

Lights are not in “ON” position, lights 

are not functioning, or timer is not 

receiving power.

Be sure that lights are functional by plugging them directly into the 

outlet. Be sure that lights are in “ON” position if they have their own 

switch. Be sure that timer is receiving power – the LED should light 

up when plugged into an outlet and put in the “ON” position.

Lights are flashing (turning 

on and off).

The timer is in Dusk to Dawn mode, 

and the light from the plugged-in lights 

is affecting the light sensor.

Move the lights away from the timer, or reposition the timer so that 

it does not face the lights.

Timer is not in a good area for light 

meter to function as there is too 

much ambient light to detect darkness.

Move the timer to another location where there is no ambient light.
