2. Safety Information

Please observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the device:

• Do not immerse the entire unit in water. While waterproof, it is designed for outdoor use and resistance to rain and splashes, not submersion.
• Use only the specified battery type (e.g., AA batteries, not included). Ensure correct polarity when inserting batteries.
• Remove batteries if the unit will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• Do not expose the unit to extreme temperatures outside its operating range (e.g., freezing conditions). Disconnect and store indoors during winter.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks and water damage.

3. Product Features

The Dsoon Smart Sprinkler Timer offers a range of features designed for efficient and convenient watering:

• 2025 Upgraded Waterproof System: Features a dual-layer silicone gasket and nano waterproof coating, achieving an IP68 waterproof rating. Built with a metal filter and second-gen self-cleaning valve diaphragm technology for durability.
• Dual-Zone Smart Control: Two high-flow outlets (5-35 L/min) allow independent control of two irrigation zones. Customize watering schedules for each zone with flexible durations (1 minute to 6 hours) and intervals (1 minute to 7 days).
• 3 Manual Watering Modes: Effortlessly switch between ZONE1, ZONE2, or BOTH ZONES. Adjust watering durations (1 minute to 5 hours 59 minutes) for immediate needs.
• Smart Rain Delay Function: Avoid overwatering with 24h/48h/72h rain delay, which skips watering during rainy periods without disrupting programmed schedules.
• Low-Battery Alert & Auto Shut-Off: The 2.5-inch smart LED display shows real-time watering times, upcoming schedules, and battery status. Alerts for low battery and automatically shuts off the valve to prevent interruptions. Power-off memory function retains settings.
