Homebase Electronic Timer Operation Instructions

Introduction
This page was written after I bought the timers and ended up not using them
because the instructions were not enclosed, after finally getting around to
working out how to use them I thought I’d put this page up for anyone else in the
same position. The timers are actually quite good once you know how to program
them. I’d be interested to hear if anyone does actually use this page, if you do
why not drop me an email to: joe.timerpage AT tozer DOT org DOT uk.
Thanks to Phil Hough for emailing information on Summer Time and CTD mode,
Mike England for info on how to reset individual programme timers and Gary Hardman
for CTD mode corrections.
