Jennifer, all the such timers I've seen all have a dial you set for 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours etc. You then set when you want the timer to switch on such as in 2 hours, 4 hours, etc. Then there is another button for when you want it to switch off. Again the same kind of thing. 8 hours, 10 hours etc. Totally not blind friendly unless you can get somebody to modify the dial with raised marks.
Alan Please click on: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~alanandsuzanne/ There, you'll find files of my arrangements and performances played on the Yamaha Tyros keyboard. I often add files so check back regularly! The albums in Technics format formerly on my website are still available upon request. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jennifer Jackson" <jennifer_jack...@cox.net> To: <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2010 10:47 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] outlet timers > Hey Guys, > > Does anyone here use one of the outlet timers that you put in the outlet > and then plug your appliance in to so you can use a timer to either turn > it on or off?
