Section 2: Getting Started

Programming the sprinkler timer can be accomplished in just a few
basic steps. Before you begin programming, it is important to:
• Install the batteries
• Reset the sprinkler timer
• Select the preferred language
• Set the time of day and date
• Determine a watering plan.

Installing the Batteries

This sprinkler timer requires two AA alkaline batteries to store the
program in memory during AC power loss. Fully charged batteries
should provide sufficient power for approximately one year of
protection. Annual battery replacement is recommended.
• Slide the battery cover to the left [See Figure 1]
• Insert two AA alkaline batteries
• Replace the battery cover
Weak or missing batteries can cause the time, date, and program
to be erased after a power failure. If this happens, you will need to
install fully charged batteries and reprogram the sprinkler timer.
Note: Batteries only retain the program in memory. They will not operate
the valves in your sprinkling system.

Resetting the Sprinkler Timer

If this is the first time the sprinkler timer has been programmed, you
should press the small recessed button labeled RESET. Pressing reset
does not affect the factory installed fail-safe program. [See Figure 2]
Do not press the reset button again unless you want to completely
remove all your programming.
