Time of Day
timeswitch has a fully graphical,
back-lit display. The information
displayed will change depending
upon the settings made and which
mode you are in. During different
programming modes and / or
setting screens the current time,
day / date, holiday indicator will
only appear when necessary, this
is to reduce confusion during the
programming process. This is explained further in later sections
of this guide.
The display will illuminate for approximately 1 minute whenever a
button is pressed. To illuminate the display for viewing purposes
only press the green set button under the front flap twice.
When setting or adjusting, the timeswitch will automatically
return to the running mode if no buttons are pressed for
approximately 1 minute. If the setting or adjusting has not been
finished, please start the procedure again.
The ChannelPlus H17XL incorporates a factory set clock and
calendar which means that no adjustments should be necessary
to the time of day and BST / GMT time changes take place
automatically. If adjustments are required please refer to page 11
of this booklet.

‘OFF’ times.
