Underwood Watch Winder

I picked up this watch winder at a pawn shop today and can't find any directions online on how to use it. I was not really in the market for a winder but I could not pass on it. Does anyone know if you can program these or how they work. The only controls I see are a toggle which appears to just turn the individual winders on and off. The model is Acorn if that means anything to anyone. Thanks!

Hi,
You lucked out. These look to me like Underwood (Rotobox) in a trio model. the single one you have sitting on top, I own one too.
I run mine on batteries and they cant be programmed. When battery is good... you see the light flash green. When it needs to be changed.. the red kicks in. I have 4 of them and love them

Thanks! I have been running mine for about a week and it's so quiet I love it. From what I have read it appears they run 30 minutes each direction then rest for three hours. I have not been able to find a lot of information on this model but assume all the models are similar.
