FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Q If it’s going to rain, can I prevent the timer from watering?

A Yes. Press the TIMER ON/OFF key to place the timer in manual mode.

No schedules will be run until you press the TIMER ON/OFF key again.
This will place the timer back in auto mode. The unit will begin watering
with the next scheduled start time.

2. Q Why do my pipes bang when the water shuts off?

A This is called a “water hammer.” The addition of a short piece of hose

between the timer and the faucet should eliminate this problem.

3. Q While creating a watering schedule, the unit suddenly returned to auto

mode. Why?

A This will happen if no keys are pressed for a period of 45 seconds.

4. Q Can I delete a program?

A While you can’t specifically delete a program, you can save a new

program in its place.
