How do I program the digital wall timer?

Before installing the timer, read the Use and Care Guide included with the wall timer. The guide will give you detailed instructions on how to install and program your timer. You can skip this section if you rather follow instructions or if you are using a different wall timer. We provided the instructions below to help simplify the setup and as a reference for the future. Below is the method we used to set up the timer for the first time (adapted from the Use and Care Guide) and two methods of programming the timer. Method 1 matches the sunrise and sunset of your location and automatically changes throughout the year.  Method two is used to set an exact on/off time that does not change.
