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.

1. With the dial on AUTO, press the + button to select a delay of 24 hrs, 48 hrs, or 72 hrs.
2. Screen will flash between clock and hours remaining before programmed cycle resumes.
   NOTE: To remove rain delay, turn dial to OFF and then back to AUTO.

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

1. With the dial on AUTO, press the MANUAL button.
2. 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.)
   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.
