I just bought the basic Noma Indoor Lighting Timer from Canadian Tire. There are instructions on the back of the timer which I had no problem following, but two things I can't figure out... I only want to use one set of pins, but when I plug the unit and light into the wall, the lamp lights which it shouldn't at that time. Plus the slide dial at the very top, between what looks like a 15 minute and one-half hour clocks, what is that for? Is that the manual override? I can't find any manual online and I have been unable to track down a website. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Did you ever figure this out? I bought one last year and I still can't figure it out.

I know that the grey portion is for daytime hours and the white portion is for evening (reverse of what you would have thought!). I have followed the instructions on the back and yes, am having the same problems as you are. How can these small seemingly easy to set timers be so frustrating!!

Let me know if you still have questions http://www.canadiantire.ca/content/dam/canadian-tire/manuals/0528808_instructionManual_NOMA.pdf
