Frequently the timer restarts at next set point.
Only a few timers have full off-on by-pass capability.

The Brinks 42-1009 EZ Vacation Timer is preset with 7 full days. You cannot choose when it goes on and off.

To set, spin the dial (clockwise only) until the arrow in the upper right of the center face is near the current day and time. Plug everything in and switch the upper tab to the right. On certain days, it will turn on in the early morning as well as evening or late night.

You cannot choose when to turn the light off. However, if you are home, you can turn the light on by switching the upper tab to the left. Remember to switch it back to the right in order to activate the timed on/off periods.

Brinks 42-1020 is analog timer with 48 segments (pins) located around edge of dial.
Each segment (pin) represents 15 minutes in 24 hour day.
Segments on this timer push down and outward.

I agree.
I test timers.
Brinks timers are near lowest quality of all timer brands, yet all timer manufactures sell lower end products to meet price points. Brinks are probably made by one of the bigger brands.

Test your outlet with cheap circuit analyzer from box store to make sure that polarity of outlet is not reversed. Notice that Brinks timers, like most plug-in timers, have polarized plug.
Polarized plug has wide and narrow blades so they plug into outlet correctly.
Wide blade is for Neutral, and narrow blade is for Hot.
If outlet has polarity reversed, this will adversely affect timer motors, and other appliances.

The manual has important illustrations, and has more words than allowed for free answer.
Open manual and get as far along as you can, and then add a comment where manual is confusing and I will help.

The battery is rechargeable type, so plug timer into outlet for hour and then unplug timer to set programming.
