4.1. Basic 4-Step Programming

After installing batteries, follow these steps to set up your watering schedule:

1. Set Current Time: Press the 'NOW' button. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the current hour and minute. Press 'OK' to confirm.
2. Set Start Time: Press 'OK' to move to 'START TIME'. Use '+' and '-' to set the desired time for watering to begin. Press 'OK' to confirm.
3. Set Duration: Press 'OK' to move to 'HOW LONG' (watering duration). Use '+' and '-' to set the length of each watering cycle (e.g., 15 minutes). Press 'OK' to confirm.
4. Set Frequency: Press 'OK' to move to 'HOW OFTEN' (watering frequency). Use '+' and '-' to set how often the watering cycle repeats (e.g., every 6 hours). Press 'OK' to confirm.
