I want to set it for say 7:00 in the morning do I have to figure out how many hours until it is due to go off

Yes, you need to count the hours. One needs to remember it's a timer, NOT an alarm clock. But it's still one of the best alarms one could buy.

exactly! you have to take the current time and do the math to know how long it is until 7am. so setting it each day will require either going to bed at the exact same time or figuring out the math again.

Yes; the alarm "timer" ones you do. However, they make a alarm clock style one also....

Yes, you have to set it each night for the next morning. You don't have to go through changing the time, it will automatically come up but you have to hit the button a few times to set it.

Hit the "p" or program button, twist the dial until the "auto-off" comes on, press button that says "ok" you can set to max of 3 hours till auto-off

Yes. You can set it for when you wake. It turns itself off after 2 hours as well.

Set an on time and an off time it should work fine. I use mine for hot curlers so they're ready when I wake up but turn off in an hour if I oversleep.

You can set both the time prior to the set alarm time to go from off to full brightness as well as the time after the set alarm time to stay on full brightness. You can set the duration of each to intervals which I believe include 15 minutes.

Yes, you set the time and it shuts off what the time has been set at the control gives options!

I don't think you can. There is no actual time setting. You just set the amount of hours from the certain point. There is no build in clock or anything like that.

Yes. That is the whole purpose of having a timer. You can set it for the number of hours desired then forget it.

No, its set for a certain amt of minutes and turns off after time runs out.

It operates every 6, 12 or 24 hours so setting is done by switching it on at an appropriate time. That is; from the time it is switched on it will be the number of hours you set before it operates.

Yes. Set the time, let it run down until it beeps. When you hit the stop button it resets to the original set time. If you want to clear the set time, pres both the hour and minute buttons down at the same time and it will reset to zero.

I read the instructions again to find an answer for your question as best as I can. If i set up my unit at the same time every night before I go to sleep at 10pm for 6am switch on with the unit plugged in on the off setting I would press the timer button and with the + sign select 8hrs, the next time I go to set up the timer I press the timer button and it will still show 8hrs, if I go to sleep later then I will change the hours to switch on accordingly. I don't leave my unit plugged in so I don't know if the timer remains and the unit turns on every 8 hours. Sorry, hope this helps.

There is a 7-day setting available. I have mine set to that (on 4PM, off 7am, 7 days)

The previous answer was right on - it won't directly but you can set ON time for dawn or dusk for your latitude or a set time, but not a combination to my knowledge. You can set it to go off at any time or at dawn or dusk [e.g., mine go on at dusk and off at 1100pm]. As the previous respondant noted, you simply set the time 30 min ahead of actual time, and it will go on 30 min before dusk. Of course, remember to add 30 to the off time.

I agree with Stephen's answer. You set the off time separate from the on time. So, you would set the on time first (12:00am) then the off time at 11:59pm and make sure it's set for all days of the week. Should work just fine.

You can't set the turn on time. You set the frequency on the left and on time on the right. The turn on time is however long the free is from the time you make any changes. Sorry.
