What do you need help with? Just the general idea of how it works? I don't have that exact one but have some that are similar. Usually push the little pins down
For the times when you need the Lights on and leave the pins out(like they came in box) for the hours you want dark. Little three Way click switch is usually on the side. Has three settings, on, off and auto. You want auto. On mine it's the middle setting. To make sure simply plug light into timer and turn time dial. If it shuts off and turns on at the given times you selected, you are good. If it stays on all the time you are probably in on mode and need to adjust on the side usually. Same thing with off etc.. Line up the arrow with the current time you have now with the pushpins and that should be it. I don't know if that's what your looking for?

I just bought this and I can't get it to work, if you can explain it briefly that would be great. Thank you.

Hey question, I also have this same timer... Way too confusing if you ask me, but the light that I currently have has an on off switch for it ... Not sure if this is a dumb question but should the switch for the light be turned on or off ... Or would it matter ?

Timer segments must be done
I bought the dual timer gadget for my daughter's tortoise and it took me forever to figure it out. The key is to push down all the segments between the time you want the light to come on and the time you want it to go off. In our case I pushed down the segments starting at 7:00 am and kept pushing them down all the way around until 9:00 pm. Voila! The light comes on and goes off as scheduled. Previously I was only pushing down one segment so the light would come on for 15 minutes then go out. NOTE: make sure the light plugged into the timer is flipped to the ON position. Someone rated the timer on Amazon and left specific directions on how it works or I'd still be scratching my head.
