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.

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

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.

turn the dial to OFF at 10:00 AM today the timer will not water until tomorrow
at 6:00 AM .

day.
