Question : The above seems to say both receptacles work together?..i.e. one program two plugs both on/off - same time. Can this be used as two timers?
Answer : I'm not 100% sure. But when I programmed the timer, it did not say which outlet to control. So I assume the two outlets are programmed at the same time.
Question : How does the random feature work exactly?
Answer : Thank you for your question! 1. The timer will operate the plugged-in appliance with random ON/OFF cycle pattern when you are away home. It is especially useful during vacations as the home may be occupied by the theft. 2. In random mode, the timer will turn ON and OF randomly in 10 ~ 42 minutes variation based on the ON and OFF schedule you set. 3. The random function can only work when the timer program has been set, and the mode is in AUTO mode. Feel free to contact us any time if you have other questions, we'll be happy to help!
