3. Operating Instructions

3.1. Manual Watering

To initiate watering instantly, open the RAINPOINT app, select the desired timer, and choose the manual watering option. You can set a specific duration for the watering session without affecting your pre-programmed schedules.

3.2. Flexible Scheduling

The app allows you to create multiple watering schedules to meet diverse needs. You can choose between:

• Normal Cycle Mode: Set specific start and end times for watering on selected days.
• Soak Cycle Mode: This mode breaks down watering into multiple cycles with pause times in between, allowing water to soak into the soil more efficiently and reduce runoff.

3.3. Rain Delay

To conserve water during rainy periods, you can easily set a rain delay of 24, 48, or 72 hours directly from the app. This will temporarily pause all scheduled watering without deleting your programs.

3.4. Irrigation Records

The app provides a detailed history of all past watering sessions. You can view the start time, duration, and end time of each watering event, which helps in managing your irrigation schedule scientifically and avoiding watering mistakes.

4. Maintenance

4.1. Filter Cleaning

Regularly inspect and clean the filter located at the water inlet of the timer. This prevents clogs from debris and ensures optimal water flow and performance. Replace the filter if it appears worn or damaged.

4.2. Winterization

During freezing temperatures, it is crucial to remove the water timer from the outdoor faucet. Store the timer indoors in a dry, frost-free location to prevent damage caused by freezing water expanding within the unit.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1. Connectivity Issues

• Ensure the Wi-Fi Hub is plugged in and within range of your 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi router. (5Ghz Wi-Fi is not supported).
• If using Bluetooth directly (without the hub), ensure your smartphone is within 60 meters of the water timer.
• Check the battery levels of the water timer. Low batteries can affect connectivity.

5.2. Watering Schedule Limitations

Some users have reported a limit of 10 watering entries per 24-hour period when setting schedules. If you encounter a 'General timing quantity exceeds limit' error, try consolidating your watering events or adjusting the frequency to fit within this limitation.

5.3. No Water Flow

• Verify that the outdoor faucet is fully open.
• Check the filter at the water inlet of the timer for any clogs and clean if necessary.
