Question moved from Office Equipment to Timers.
This timer has a fixed setting for turning on lights or appliances. To set the time, turn the small dial marked '8765' (which represent the hour when the lights will turn ON, so that the time you wish them to come on is next to the current time. In other words, if the current time is 6:00pm, and you want to have the lights come on at 8:00pm, set the 8 on the small dial next to the 6:00pm on the timer body, and plug everything in.
I believe with that model you have to kill the power and reconnect by unplugging you will be met with a flashing screen this is where you can set timer....
Timer is not identified. Problem is not clear. Add a comment with clear description of product, and say what you have done to set timer. What do you plug-in to make lights work?
Did this ever work before, or is this a new installation? Assuming this is a new installation, it's 90% likely to just not be wired correctly. The hot wire needs to come into the switch and into the clock (with a jumper wire). The neutral needs to come into the clock, and back out to the light (two white wires on one terminal). The output hot wire comes out from the switch to the light. Being a double pole switch, that will leave one input and one output not used on the switch.
I would use two timers for this rather than the Zilla, but you could put the moon lights into the second timer set on for short periods before and after the white lights, then plug the white lights into the day outlets and set the timer to have them on for the five hours.
Check your circuit breaker that feeds the timer circuit in your main electric panel. It may have tripped. Sometimes when a breaker trips it's hard to tell visually, so turn the breaker off, then back on.
Also, the circuit that feeds the timer may be on the load side of a GFCI receptacle. Look for one that has tripped. Sometimes they are found in obscure places.
