Understanding Zones
This is a four zone timer allowing you to water four different areas from the
n
same faucet.
Each zone can be programmed with up to four different start times.
n
You can use the PLANNING TABLE provided on the back of this sheet to
n
help organize your watering schedule for each zone.
Note: Do not use your timer when the air temperature is below
40°F (4.5° C). When storing your timer, be sure it is in a dry place
and protected from frost.

not. Note: Changing time mode will erase all programs.

correct day. Once the correct day has been
indicated, press the button.
