3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your irrigation system:

1. Initial Power-On: Upon receiving the product, rotate the dial directly to begin setup. If the screen is blank (indicating low power), first recharge the unit using the USB port or by exposing the solar panel to sunlight. Then, hold the "OK" button for approximately 5 seconds until the screen fully lights up.
2. Connect the Filter: Attach the main tubing to the filter and place the filter into your water reservoir (e.g., a bucket or rain barrel). Ensure the pump unit remains above the waterline to prevent continuous siphoning.
3. Connect Tubing and Drippers: The drip emitters come with 1.7 FT tubes pre-installed for convenience. Cut the main 1/4 inch PVC tube to the desired lengths to reach your plants. Use the Connect Tees to branch off the main tube to individual drippers. Insert the drippers into the soil of your potted plants.
4. Secure Connections: Ensure all tubing connections are secure to prevent leaks.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your irrigation system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• "LACK WATER" Alarm: If the "LACK WATER" light flashes red, it indicates a water shortage, improper installation, or air leakage in the system. Check your water reservoir, ensure all connections are tight, and verify there are no air bubbles in the tubing.
• No Irrigation: Before extensive use, test the system in manual watering mode to confirm it can irrigate normally. If not, check power, water supply, and tubing for blockages.
• Screen is Blank: Recharge the unit via solar panel exposure or USB cable. Hold the "OK" button for approximately 5 seconds to power on.
