Are you concerned about forgetting to switch your lights on, and off?
Well, a programmable timer might assist you. All Ollny Fairy Lights come with an easy-to-use remote control, so there’ll be no need to locate the control box to adjust the lights' settings. All you will need to do is use your remote controls.
Before using the remote for the first time, remove the protective clear film that covers the battery, this will then activate it (as seen below).
Section 1: The Remotes that Feature the ‘TIME(R) OFF’ Button
To program timer settings with these remotes, first, make sure the lights are in working status and then press the corresponding hour's button that you want your lights to be on to start the timer.
2H: 2hrs on, 22hrs off

Keep in mind: For setting the timer function, always start with how long you want your lights to stay ON for. The rest of the hours within the 24-hour time frame the lights will be off. The lights/timer will repeat this pattern until you stop or change the timer setting, or until remote battery requires changing.
