Resolució de problemes

• Timer display is off: Check all power connections to ensure they are secure. Verify the power adapter is plugged into a working outlet.
• Time reset after power outage: The timer's internal memory saves programmed settings but not the current time. After a power interruption, you will need to reset the current time manually. Programmed on/off cycles will remain saved.
• Lights not dimming: Ensure your specific LED light fixture supports dimming. Some lights, like SkyLED, are not dimmable and will only operate in F2 (straight on/off) mode.
• Incorrect time display or running fast/slow: Ensure the timer is not connected in-line with another remote receiver or dimmer that might interfere with its voltage supply, as this can affect clock accuracy.
