You cannot set the time on the ATC 300, it does not have a clock, just a timer.
You can set up the timing function, and it works well, but you have to put the lights on manually the first time.
To set:
Hold TIMER button until the display starts to flash.
The first flashing number is the length of time the lights are to be on.
Once this period is set, you push the timer button again and a new number will appear, this number is the period of time the lights are to be off.
NB: Timer will not work if the two numbers do not add up to 24hours.
EG: For an 8 hour lighting period the first number will be 8, and then the second will be set at 16.
Once this is done you will have to wait until the time you want them to come on, then you press the timer button once and the lights will come on for 8 hours, and off for 16 hours automatically.
So if you decide that you want to show your snakes off and use your lights in the evening for a bit, you will have to go back to your room and put your lights back on in the morning.
It sounds complicated but they are dead easy once you get the hang of it.
