  • Check that the O-ring inside the top connector is properly seated and not damaged. Replace if necessary.
  • Verify the battery compartment cover is fully closed and sealed.

  • Check battery polarity and ensure batteries are correctly inserted.
  • Replace old batteries with new 1.5V AA Alkaline batteries.
• Timer not watering as programmed:
  • Verify that the current time and day are set correctly.
  • Ensure the specific program (P1-P6) is enabled and has a valid start time, duration, and frequency.
  • Check the battery level; low batteries can affect operation.
  • If it recently rained, the rain sensor might have paused the program. Watering will resume when the sensor dries.
