• Entering a Set Time in the digital display (except when
Duration dial is in the ON position).
• Entering a Set Start in the digital display (except when
Duration dial is in the ON position).
• Turning the Duration dial to the OFF position.

Manual watering

Turn the Duration dial to the ON setting. The valve will open
and remain open until the dial is rotated to another setting. The
dial can be rotated to a duration setting, and the valve will
remain open for that amount of time. The watering interval is
not interrupted when the valve is operated manually.
Note:
Manual watering overrides the Set Start time, allowing imme-
diate watering.
To turn the valve off
Rotate the Duration Dial to the OFF setting. The valve will not
open while the dial is in this setting.

Low battery indication

When the battery voltage level drops below the ideal operating
voltage the valve will close. The batteries should be replaced
with three fresh alkaline batteries as soon as possible.
CAUTION:
The timer swivel connection to the hose faucet and the timer's
threaded connection to the hose swivel are designed to with-
stand normal, lateral hose adjustments. Abrupt or forceful hose
movements should be avoided.
