Only alkaline batteries of the type 9 V IEC 6LR61 should be
used to attain the maximum running time of 1 year.
We recommend e.g. the manufacturers Varta and Energizer.
v To prevent data transfer errors, the battery must be replaced
in good time.
It can occur that the LCD display blanks if the outside tempera-
ture is very high or very low. This has no effect whatsoever on
the retention of data and the correct transmission of data.
The LCD display will return when temperature range is back to
normal operating range.
The Programming Unit is splash water proof.
v However, protect the unit from jets of water and do not leave
it within the watering range.
The Control Unit is connected to the Irrigation Valve and is
splash-proof when the cover is closed.
v Ensure that the cover is always closed when the Control Unit
is positioned near the area to be watered.
v Store the Control Unit away from frost at the beginning of the
frosty period or remove the battery.

The display includes a symbol to indicate the charge condition

Battery condition in the Programming Unit :
If the voltage falls below a certain level, the symbol Batt. int. will
blink until the battery is replaced. If the battery is not replaced
after the first blinking of symbol Batt. int. it is possible to switch
from the energy-saving to operating mode (approx. 40 times) on
the Programming Unit.
