Granted, when you unpack the switches, one is first time since a loss. Even a cursory glance at the enclosed instructions helps not say anything. My advice: sit down in peace, and all read well. If you have understood the principle only once, setting up and operation is really quite logical.
Before the initial setup can you put the switches without a load for about 12 hours into the socket. The reason is that in the time switches conveniently a battery is installed, which acts as a buffer in case of power failure or AC power outlet and thus all settings are retained. Really very convenient. In addition, you can see the device so convenient to carry out at the table and does not have to cower before the outlets.
If you have well read, the device is as really said very coherent and simple. The switching times can be very flexible and to adjust accurately (read the minute). This allows maximum control over the uptime of consumers. Overall, 8 switching programs can be set and saved, which should be quite sufficient for most conditions of use.
The operation works very reliably, failure or faulty operation have not yet occurred.
By far the biggest advantage of digital timers is but surely: NO NOISE. Except for the switching noise of the relay, the switches are as quiet as mice. Gorgeous! This makes them perfect for sleeping and working area.
For size: the switches are quite compact, side by side but not fit in the standard socket strips. Here one should rely on models that provide a greater distance between the sockets.
I can recommend the digital time switches only warmly. They may be slightly more expensive than mechanical alternatives, the extra cost makes itself but definitely paid.
