Self adjusting in wall timer

The only thing that can be is that you have set a timer "sleep" function for that station. I have looked at the manual and it states you can programme a sleep setting for a radio station.
The instructions are on page 12. But I have extracted them below:

1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power on.

2 Press and hold the CLOCK/TIMER button.

3 Within 10 seconds, press the or button

to select "ONCE" or "DAILY", and press the MEMORY

button. Set the clock to the correct time if "ONCE" or

"DAILY" does not appear.

4 Within 10 seconds, press the or button to select

"ONCE SET" or "DAILY SET", and press the MEMORY

button.

5 To adjust the hour, press the or button and then

press the MEMORY button.

6 To adjust the minutes, press the or button and

then press the MEMORY button.

7 Set the time to fi nish as in steps 5 and 6 above.

8 To select the timer playback source (CD, TUNER, USB,

iPhone/iPod, TAPE or AUDIO IN), press the or

button. Press the MEMORY button.

When you select the tuner, select a station by pressing

the or button, and then press the MEMORY

button. If a station has not been programmed, "NO

PRESET" will be displayed and timer setting will be

canceled.

9 Adjust the volume using the VOLUME control, and then

press the MEMORY button. Do not turn the volume up

too high.

10 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power

stand-by mode. The "TIMER" indicator lights up and

the unit is ready for timer playback.

11 When the preset time is reached, playback will start.

The volume will increase gradually until it reaches the

preset volume. The "?" or "DAILY" indicator will blink

during timer playback.

12 When the timer end time is reached, the system will

enter the power stand-by mode automatically.

Once timer:

The timer will be canceled.

Daily timer:

The timer operates at the same time every day. It

will continue until the daily timer setting is canceled.
Cancel the daily timer when it is not in use.

You want to set the clock after charging the device. Takes a short time. Set the time by pressing TIME and then HOUR/MIN for the current time. Now you can set the timer.
Press the "ON" and set the time you want the device to turn on.
Press the OFF button and set the time to the time you want the device to turn off.
Put the switch on the top to the TIMER position and lug into the wall socket and then the device into the timer.
Should be good to go.

1) Set current time:
Press reset button to clear all programs , display should flash 12:00 AM Monday
Press and hold CLOCK button.
Press Hour, minute and day buttons until current hour minute and day display.
Release Clock button.
Next step is to program the timer
Example shows how to turn on at 5PM each day and turn off at 11 PM each day.
2) Programming review: Each program requires ON time to be set, and then OFF time to be set For example you set Program1 ON 5:00PM for ALL days. And then you set Program1 OFF 11PM for ALL days. Minimum on-off set time is 1 minute.
3) Programming steps: Press PROG button until Timer 1 ON appears on display Use Hour button to set 5 PM Use MIN button to set :00 Default selects ALL days (If you want other days, press DAY button until display shows correct block of days) Press PROG button again to save Program1 ON 4) Now for Program1 OFF 5) To set Program1 Off Press PROG button until Timer 1 OFF shows in display. Use Hour button to set 11 PM Use MIN button to set :00 Default selects ALL days (If you want other days, press DAY button until display shows correct block of days) Press PROG button again to save Program1 OFF 6) Program 1ON and Program1 OFF have been set ... so press the CLOCK button to return to current time. If you want to set another program, press PROG button until Timer 2 ON displays 7) After setting programs, press Clock button so current time shows. 8) The manual shows one more thing ... if you program the timer during the hours 5-11pm, and the timer should be ON during those hours, you have to 'tell' the timer to turn ON by pressing the manual override ... after that the timer will operate normally.

1) Sounds like you have timer wired correctly.
The wiring is confusing for many people, so it's apparent you're a quality electrician.

2) There are no repairs for defective timer, but timer can be reset using reset button.
Reset will clear program conflicts and overlaps that cause timer not to operate as expected.

3) Model number of Utilitec timer is not given, so expert has to guess which fork in the road you want to choose.

4) If you have 0192773 timer and want do-it-yourself solution, open following link for larger print and photo illustrations that make programming easier.

5) If you have 0141224 timer, then open following link for larger print instructions.

6) At any point, you can add a comment and ask very specific question about any part of the instructions for either in-wall Utilitec timer, or any Utilitec timer, or ask a question about almost any 60Hz timer on the market today.
That comment sends an e-mail, and then I will respond.
I have tested both Utilitec in-wall timers.

I believe your timer must be exposed to cold.
The CR2 battery in ST01C will only last 30 days when exposed to cold temperatures.
I was reading a pdf chart few months ago about timer batteries, and the power drop-off becomes really steep after 30 days.

Most digital programmable timers are susceptible to cold if they have battery or internal rechargeable battery that supports timer functions or acts as program back-up.
For example, I e-mailed Honeywell about their Aube rechargeable-battery-type-timer, and they said anything below 32F and the display becomes slow, and timer loses accuracy.

Your ST01C wiring is correct. I test timers. They don't operate if wiring is wrong.

I solved same problem with my back porch timer using GE 15070 mechanical dial timer. Home Depot sells in-store for $18.
Link below gives you photo, manual, and wiring instruction so you don't need electrician.
http://waterheatertimer.org/GE-timers-and-manuals.html#15070
Open page and notice the timer below the 15070 has a photo insert showing on-off pins located on timer dial.
You move pins with ink pen or fingernail file.
Of course this is not self-adjusting digital timer, so I just set it for times I want, and it's easy to change times. It will be perfect for 6pm to 11pm daily.

And then use ST01C on a indoor switch.
You can wire the ST01C yourself by simply looking how each wire is connected now, or you can add a comment to this thread later and I will answer:
