    With Black Face and Glow-in

    the-Dark Dial and Hands

    The large face makes these switches easy to read from a distance. They automatically turn electrical equipment on or off after a set interval of time. All have two three-prong outlets to control up to two devices at once; plug each device directly into the switch. A rocker switch controls the outlet settings. The buzzer sounds when the timer stops.
    With White Face—Switches with a white face can be set so that both outlets turn off when the timer stops, or so that the top outlet turns off and the bottom outlet turns on.
    With Black Face and Glow-in the-Dark Dial and Hands—Switches with a black face can be set so that both outlets turn on when the timer stops, or so that the top outlet remains off and the bottom outlet remains on.
