INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

Remove the tray on the back of the timer by sliding or pulling it out.
Insert two AA (1.5V) alkaline batteries (not included) and replace the tray.

NOTE:
Firmly replace the battery tray to ensure water resistance and increase battery life. You will know the battery tray is fully inserted if it locks in place and does not pull out easily. Used up or dead batteries must be removed from the timer and disposed of properly. Batteries should be removed from the timer at the end of the watering season and replaced with new ones at the beginning of the next watering season. Replace batteries when low battery icon appears on display. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

RAIN DELAY

Rain delay allows you to postpone watering for a set period of time. To access the rain delay, follow the steps below.

MANUAL/HAND WATERING

This feature allows you to water without interrupting your set schedule. To access this feature, follow the steps below.

With the dial on AUTO, press the MANUAL button.
Use the + and – buttons to select watering time, from 1 to 240 minutes. (There will be a slight delay between the time the + button is pressed and when watering begins.)

MANUAL/HAND WATERING

NOTE: To stop manual watering, turn the dial to OFF and then back to AUTO.

OFF MODE

Turning the dial to the OFF position at any time during the day will reset the timer's internal timing and will clear a RAIN DELAY or MANUAL watering. This will also cancel all scheduled watering times for the day until the next programmed START TIME. This means if you turn the dial back to AUTO the timer will not water until the next day; beginning at your desired programmed START TIME.

EXAMPLE:
You have a 6:00 AM START TIME with HOW OFTEN 6 hour intervals. If you turn the dial to OFF at 10:00 AM today the timer will not water until tomorrow at 6:00 AM. The 12:00 PM, 6:00 PM, and 12:00 AM watering times have been cancelled for the day.
