Open Valve During Installation
Shaking during transportation can cause valve to be open. If this occurs, water
may run continuously through the valve during installation.
■Turn the water o.
■Remove the batteries. Wait for the
screen to go blank. Reinsert the
batteries.
■Note: Removing the batteries will
not erase any existing watering
schedules.
■Turn the water back on.
■If the problem persists, turn o the
water. Use the Manual feature to open
and close the valve 3 times.
Seasonal Storage
Freezing temperatures can cause water in the
timer to freeze and expand, damaging the
timer.
■At the end of the season or when there
is frost in the forecast, turn o the water
and remove your timer from the faucet.
■Remove the batteries.
■Be sure to store the timer indoors, away
from freezing temperatures.
Tips for Battery Life
■Make sure to use fresh alkaline batteries.
■Do not use rechargeable batteries.
■Remove the batteries at the end of the season before
storing.
■Batteries should last about one season. A schedule
with more frequent watering times can cause the
batteries to drain faster.
Cleaning Your Timer
You should clean your timer periodically. Debris or sediments commonly found
in water can build up in your timer.
■Turn o the water. Remove the timer from the faucet and check that the
lter washer is clear. If you notice any debris, remove the lter washer and
clean it out with water.
■Activate the MANUAL mode by pressing the MANUAL button. Open the
valve and spray water through the valve and the faucet connection to ush
out any built-up sediments or debris.
