Delay Function

The "Delay" function allows you to postpone the start of the selected watering program. This is useful if it's raining or if you need to perform manual watering.

• The LED indicator will signal that the delay function is active. The program will resume after the delay period, which is typically a fixed duration (e.g., 24 hours) or until the next scheduled watering cycle, depending on the model's specific implementation.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the programmer with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Filter Cleaning: Periodically check the filter washer located in the inlet connector for debris. Clean it under running water if necessary to ensure proper water flow.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the LED indicator shows a low battery warning or if the unit stops functioning. Always use fresh AAA alkaline batteries.
• Winter Storage: During winter months or periods of freezing temperatures, disconnect the programmer from the tap and store it indoors in a dry, frost-free location. Remove batteries before storage.
