Reset timer - Samsung HL-R6168W 61" HDTV

If there was a brief power outage and your light timer is not working, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the timer settings: Make sure that the timer is set correctly and that the time and program settings are accurate. If the timer has lost power, it may have reset and will need to be reprogrammed.
2. Check the power source: Ensure that the timer is receiving power by checking the outlet or circuit breaker that it is plugged into. If the outlet or breaker has tripped, reset it and try again.
3. Check the timer battery: If your timer has a battery backup, check the battery to make sure it is still functional. If the battery has died, replace it with a new one.
4. Reset the timer: If none of the above steps have worked, try resetting the timer to its default settings. Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to reset the timer.

If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it's possible that the timer has been damaged due to the power outage. In this case, you may need to replace the timer or seek the assistance of an electrician to diagnose and repair the problem.

If you reset ST01C timer using reset button, then all programs are lost, plus current time of day.
Generally this timer needs to be reset if error message appears and as last resort for troubleshooting problem. Timer does not need to be reset after battery goes bad, all you do is set current time of day, and then program remain inside timer indefinitely (or until timer is reset of goes bad)
If setting current time of day does not work, you use reset button.
For ez programming steps with illustrations:
http://waterheatertimer.org/ST01C-program.html

How to reset ST01C using reset button:
Push and hold ON-OFF button and then push reset button using toothpick or paperclip.
Release reset button but keep holding ON-OFF button until INIT displays.
Then release ON-OFF and 12:00 should be flashing.
If timer functionality does not restore, then try replacing timer battery.
If functionality will not restore, then timer is bad.
This timer does not need electric current for setting timer, so timer display is not dependent on circuit breaker.

If you have a different timer, then add a comment with in-focus photo of timer for possible identification. Most other timers do not require 2-button reset procedure.

You posted the question under ST01C timer.
This timer will clear all programs if you hold reset in for a few seconds until the screen starts blinking 12:00. The reset button is a small round button that you push with a paper clip.
The ST01C memory for current day can be cleared by removing battery for a couple minutes, but the day-to-day programming remains forever until timer is reset.

Each timer tends to follow the same pattern as described above when there is a small round reset that is pushed with a paper clip >> push, hold for a few seconds, timer resets.

Other timers have a larger button for Reset ... the timers with larger reset button usually require you to hold the clock button and reset button at the same time ... or some other button besides clock has to be pushed at same time with reset. You can try different combinations of buttons and hold both down for a few seconds.

If you reply to this response with your exact model and brand timer, I can look up the specifics for most timers

I need help resetting the lamp timer. Is there a way to reset the timer w/o the remote? We bought this tv as a floor model 4 yrs ago and they didn't have the actual remote that came with it, so they gave us another remote that works. We replaced the lamp but we keep getting the message that the lamp needs to be replaced and the timer reset. Plus the red lamp indicator is still on. We even used a friend's remote (he has the exact same tv) and it still will not reset the timer.
