I have what Maplin calls a 7-day digital timer plug and although I
have the instructions I cannot get it to work as I want.
(In one application I intend to control a Fax machine:
only on in office hours and 5 work days per week).

In my timer there are 9 "week patterns" (e.g. Mon, Wed, Fri) plus 7
individual days, and 10 on/off possibilities.
I have assumed that this means that I first set a pattern, then the on/
off times within this pattern.
That is, patterns do not overlap. Is this correct ?
A link on this group in 2003 about a Micromark timer plug suggests
that the programmes do run concurrently (http://nanohelix.tripod.com/
BQ7DayTimer.pdf).

The instructions that I have seem to "blur" these two settings:
patterns then times.
I just have buttons for Clock, Prog, Day, Hours, Min, Manual (cycle
through On, Auto, Off) and Reset.

I need to know how to set a pattern and then be sure that the on/off
times are applied to this pattern.
Can anyone with a similar device advise me, please?
