1) Copy following link to identify timer and download possible manual:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#49566

2) Clear description of buttons was key for finding same/similar timer.
This timer is sometimes substituted for Utilitec 155671, and is discontinued design from Woods, which could have been another brand name prior, but does not appear on internet otherwise.

3) Same timer design may be released again sometime. Expect the Chinese to grab anything not nailed down and flood market with 'new' line of cheapo timers with bogus 1 year warranty direct from no-email-smog-air-manufacturing LTD.

SOURCE: I have no programming instructions for the

I posted a webpage for Utilitec timers that shows instructions and wiring tips.

http://waterheatertimer.org/Program-wire-Utilitec-0192773.html

http://waterheatertimer.org/Program-wire-Utilitec-LW60418.html

Utilitec seems to be another pacific rim knock off product with nobody claiming ownership of the product. The body of the timer looks just like Intermatic, with identical markings. That's what happen when we exported all our knowledge along with our jobs. The other guy copied everything, put up a cheap product, exports our dollar for their profit, and never gives customer service.

SOURCE: i have model 0155671 but

A) 12-24 hour choice >> just use the 24 hour display.
That gives you day and night hours
I don't know why these companies offer 12hr-24hr option on timers.

B) Military time vs Regular time (military time does not use am and pm)
1 1am
2 2am
7 7am
11 11am
12 12noon
13 1pm
14 2pm
20 8pm
23 11pm
24 12midnight

C) Utilitec 0155671 is same as Woods 59377
Before Woods made 59377, they made 49566 (which is also called TD1101 and TD1300)

I think you have Woods 49566

Unplug timer to program

2) Program review:
Set up to 20 on-off programs.
You can select individual days, or groups of days, or all days of the week
For example MO-SU is all days of the week
For each ON time, you also must set OFF time.
So program1 ON is set, then program1 OFF is set
Each ON is set for day, hour and minute
Each OFF is set for day, hour and minute (select same days for OFF and that you chose for ON)
For example if you want timer to turn ON all days MO-SU, make sure OFF time is also set for all days MO-SU.

3) Program the timer:

Press arrow? until display shows PROG 1 ON
This is program1 ON.
Press SET button, but do not hold set button down as you did when setting current time.

Press ? ? to select day, or groups of days that you want for program1 ON.

Press SET button again, and program1 ON hour will start flashing
Press ? ? to select hour that you want for program1 ON.

Press SET button again, and program1 ON minute will start flashing
Press ? ? to select minute that you want for program1 ON.

program1 ON is set, next you will set program1 OFF

OFF
Press arrow? until display shows PROG 1 OFF
This is program1 OFF.
Press SET button, but do not hold set button down as you did when setting current time.
The days for program1 OFF will be flashing on display.
Press ? ? to select day, or groups of days that you want for program1 OFF.

Press SET button again, and program1 OFF hour will start flashing
Press ? ? to select hour that you want for program1 OFF.

Press SET button again, and program1 OFF minute will start flashing
Press ? ? to select minute that you want for program1 OFF.

program1 ON and OFF are set, next you will set program2 ON by repeating steps above.

If you do not want to set more programs, that is fine.
Timer lets you set up to 20 programs.

Finish programming: when program ON-OFFs are set, press TIME button and current time displays.

4) Last step:
Push manual override button until AUTO is displayed. This will let timer turn lights on and off.
Plug lamp into timer.
Lamp must be turned ON.
Plug timer into wall.

Lost instruction for operation of woods indoor digital 24 hour timer (59203)

1) Copy following link for possible manual:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#Oval

2) Don't forget to reset timer to clear traces of prior programming.
Timer has internal rechargeable battery that eventually gives out, rendering timer useless.
Timer has 1 year limited warranty through Coleman.

3) Suggested replacement timer: Woods 59009, 59008, 59007.
Two prong and 3-prong outlets, rated for CFL LED incandescent etc
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#50009

4) Or buy timer locally for ez return if timer does not work.

5) Jan 2013: Best brands for warranty support are probably Woods, Intermatic, GE, Tork, Sylvania, Leviton.
Promotional-grade timers from First Alert, Timex, Brinks, Stanley-Westinghouse, Utilitec etc may not have clear on-line warranty support.

Will a utiltech indoor timer #0155671 work outdoors?

Yes but maybe it will not last very long.

Have model TE02DHB/TE22DHB. Setting random mode but I do not see any "RND" on screen after following directions for random mode.

http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/TE02DHB-manual.pdf
Timer has to be programmed first with on and off times.

Manual says press FUNCTION and RND digits 'flash' on display
Then press set button
Then RND will appear on display.

Timer then uses your programmed on-off times, and randomly varies programmed on-off times in range from 2 to 30 minutes.
So if regular program says ON at 7, then random will vary ON time from 6:30 to 7:30, assuming timer functions as shown in manual and timer is not defective.

If above information does not work, then use circuit analyzer and check polarity of outlet.

Indoor timer 0155671 it wont turn on or off after programing

Utilitec 0155671 7-day digital programmable timer is sold under different brand names and numbers
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#59377
Read instructions on following link.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-program-Utilitec-0155671.html

There are 7 general things to look for if digital timer is not working correctly.
1) 0155671 timer is considered incandescent light bulb timer (tungsten) and not necessarily made for motors loads, TVs, CFLs etc. Try using timer on table lamp with incandescent bulb. Turn lamp ON, and make sure bulb is good.
2) Outlet is wired wrong: test outlet with circuit analyzer, and try timer on another outlet, and with different load. For example if outlet polarity is reversed, or if load has interference.
3) Timer is programmed for ON times but not for OFF times.
4) Programming has conflicts, for example program1 ON is for 8am Mon but program1 OFF is for 11am all-days-of-week.
Or program1 and program2 ON-and-OFF times conflict.
5) Timer is not set in AUTO mode, and timer is in random or countdown mode.
6) Timer is defective: 6-8% of all timers arrive defective.
7) If timer is older, the internal battery may be fading. Battery is not replaceable. These timers have 1 year limited warranty.
