Setup Guide
1. Battery Installation
Locate the battery compartment on the back of the timer. Insert two (2) AA batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely to maintain water resistance.
2. Connecting to Water Source
Screw the brass inlet of the timer onto your outdoor faucet or garden hose spigot. Ensure the connection is hand-tight and leak-free. The 360° swivel feature allows for easy adjustment of the timer's position without needing to unscrew it from the faucet.
This image demonstrates the correct way to connect the timer to a water source and attach hoses to its two outlets.
3. Connecting Hoses
Attach your garden hoses to the two independent outlets (labeled L for Left Zone and R for Right Zone) at the bottom of the timer. Tighten connections firmly to prevent leaks. Ensure any quick connectors or hose nozzles are also securely attached.
4. App Pairing
Download the "RESTMO BT" app from your device's app store (available for iOS and Android). Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to pair your timer via Bluetooth. Ensure your device's Bluetooth is enabled and the timer is within range during the pairing process.
Operating Instructions
Understanding the Display
The timer features a clear digital display that shows current settings, watering status, battery level, and other relevant information. Familiarize yourself with the icons and indicators for easy operation.
Programming Modes
The RESTMO Sprinkler Timer offers multiple programming options, primarily managed through the smartphone app for ease of use.
- Interval Watering: Set the frequency (e.g., every 6 hours, every 2 days) and duration for each zone. Ideal for new plantings or specific soil types requiring frequent, short watering cycles.
- Weekly Watering: Program specific days of the week and start times for watering. Suitable for established gardens with consistent watering needs.
- Odd/Even Date Watering: Schedule watering based on odd or even calendar dates. This can be useful for adhering to local watering restrictions.
- Custom Volume Watering: Instead of duration, set the exact volume of water (e.g., 5 gallons) to be dispensed per watering cycle.
- Manual Watering: Initiate immediate watering for a set duration, bypassing programmed schedules. This is useful for quick spot watering or testing.

- Create and modify watering programs for each zone.
- Activate the Rain Delay function (24/48/72 hours).

Refer to the app's built-in help section or tutorials for detailed instructions on specific features and programming steps.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the timer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the unit.
- Winterization: In regions prone to freezing temperatures, it is crucial to disconnect the timer from the faucet and hoses before the first frost. Store the timer indoors in a dry, protected area to prevent damage from freezing water expanding inside the unit.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the AA batteries annually or immediately when the low battery indicator appears on the display or in the app. Always use fresh, high-quality alkaline batteries.
- Inlet Filter: Check the inlet filter washer periodically for debris. If clogged, remove and rinse it under running water to ensure unrestricted water flow.
