A:  Hi Gunnar, as I said in the email I suggest not to open it. If it gets wet and cannot work please replace a new one and make sure it can be used outdoors. Thank you and Happy New Year!

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi Daisy, good question. Please follow the instruction sheet within the product package. You can also follow below steps: Pull the switch on top to TIMER ON. Select a time period (or periods) you want the device turned on. Push down ALL the segments that fall on or within that time period. You may need to turn the dial clockwise to access the desired segments. Turn the rotating timer dial clockwise until the pointer on the face of the dial points to the current time of day. NOTE: Nighttime hours from 6:30PM to 6:30AM are highlighted with a gray background.
