Battery Backup
Your HPM Slim Digital Timer is equipped with an internal rechargeable battery that provides backup power in case of a power outage.

The battery backup feature is essential for maintaining consistent operation of your timer, especially in situations where power interruptions are common. To ensure optimal battery performance, it is recommended to connect the timer to a power source regularly. The battery will recharge automatically when the timer is plugged in. In the event of a power outage, the internal battery will provide power to the timer for a limited period, typically several hours. During this time, the timer will continue to operate as programmed.
Once the battery is depleted, the timer will revert to its default settings. However, the previously programmed schedule will be retained in the timer’s memory. When power is restored, the timer will automatically resume its operation according to the stored program. The battery backup feature is a valuable safety net that ensures your timer’s functionality remains uninterrupted even in the face of power fluctuations.
