Using the Night-Light Timer

The Teach Me Time! night-light timer can be programmed to turn on yellow in the evening, change to green in the morning

(the “OK to Wake!” time) and then turn off automatically at whatever times desired. This cycle then repeats indefinitely when in timer mode (see below).

Night-Light Modes

Tap the LIGHT button to toggle between the night-light modes as follows:

• Off

• On - Yellow

• On - Green

• Timer Mode ( icon appears in display)

When the night-light is set to timer mode, the yellow and green lights operate according to a schedule set by the parent. See

1.

Press and hold the LIGHT key for two (2) seconds to enter night-light timer setup. The yellow night-light ON time

(8:00pm by default) appears and may be adjusted using the HR +/- and MIN +/- keys.

TIP: The dual-color night-light feature is useful for very young children who cannot yet tell time. Parents may choose to instruct their son or daughter not to get up “until Teach Me

Time! turns green.”

TIP: Teach Me Time!’s lights only operate under AC power so ensure that the included power adapter is plugged into a working outlet.

TIP: The diagram below depicts the chrono- logical order that the colored lamps turn on and the order in which they are programmed during timer setup.

Using the Night-Light Timer (continued)

3.

Tap the LIGHT key once quickly to move to the third and final step. The night-light CHANGE time (6:00am by default) appears. The change or “OK to Wake!” time is the time at which the night-light color changes from yellow to

green. This time may also be adjusted. automatically places the night-light in timer mode ( icon appears).

4.

Tap the LIGHT key once more to exit the night-light timer setup sequence. Upon exiting, Teach Me Time!

Disabling Color Changing Of The Night-Light Timer

You may prefer to have the night-light turn on and off automatically but not change color. In order to disable the colorchange transition do one of the following:

1.

Set the CHANGE time equal to the ON time. In this case the night-light turns on (yellow) at the ON time and off at the OFF time. It does not change color.

2.

Set the CHANGE time equal to the OFF time. In this case the night-light turns on (green) at the ON time and off at the OFF time. It does not change color.

In either case, if the CHANGE time is disabled, a small “x” appears in the center of the light bulb icon during timer setup (this

“x” is not seen during ordinary operation):

TIP: The CHANGE (to green) time may not be adjusted beyond the night-light ON (yellow) time and the night-light

OFF extremes.

Teach Me Time! automatically enforces this and it is the reason that the ON and OFF times are set first and the

CHANGE time is set last.
