The filter traps dirt particles, preventing them from entering the timer and causing clogging. Please clean the filter regularly and replace it if worn. To ensure a longer lifespan, please use 4 new AA alkaline batteries (not included). Don't mix new and old alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable batteries. Please activate the water timer before first use or after a period of inactivity (Refer to page 6: ACTIVATE THE TIMER BEFORE USE). Only use with clean cold water.

Tips: If the timer connection to the faucet or hose is loose or leaking, wrap more Teflon tape around the threads and align the threads. If the faucet threads won't tighten to the bottom of the timer inlet, add a rubber washer to make it tighter. Rubber Washer Note Please do not use tools, only install the timer by hand. When freezing temperatures are expected, timers should be removed from the hose faucet and stored indoors to prevent potential freeze damage. Please install the filter properly and keep it clean as follows. -05- EN ACTIVATE THE TIMER BEFORE USE Please active the valves when getting the timer for the first time, or it's been a long time since your last time to use it. 1) Keep the faucet off and turn the dial to "ON". 2) Press and hold the "OK/MANUAL" button and at the same time insert the batteries to enter the self-inspection mode. 3) Release "OK/Manual" button 3 secs later and all the valves will be opened and closed in turn to finish self-inspection, each valve costs 5 secs. 4) After all of the zones finished the first self-inspection, turn on the faucet a little bit to start test with water. 5) During test of each valve, please check whether the water flows out or shuts off as expected. If yes, the timer valves are activated successfully, please use the timer with confidence. If not, please repeat the testing steps for several times, or contact us immediately for support. 6) After test, take out the batteries to avoid testing circly. Then re-insert batteries to start normal operation. Note: When testing, please keep away from the water timer outlet to avoid being splashed and wet. -06- EN PROGRAMMING THE TIMER This three-zone timer allows you to water three different areas using a single faucet, with each zone customizable for independent start times, irrigation durations, and frequencies. NOTE: 1) Single Zone Operation: The device can only run one zone's program at a time; running multiple zones simultaneously will split and reduce water pressure. If there are conflicting programs, only one zone will execute while others wait for completion. More information please refer to P19. 2) Setup Instructions: Setting Watering Plans for Each Zone: Press the "ZONE" button to select ZONE 1. Set the start time, duration, and frequency of ZONE 1, then turn the dial to "ON" to save the changes. And the watering plan for ZONE 1 has been set successfully.

For a zone, when it's running an automatic watering, a manual watering with later start time conflicts with it, no matter comes from the same or a different zone, then automatic watering would be interruptted and lose its left watering time. For a zone, when it's running a manual watering mode, an automatic watering with later start time conflicts with it, automatic watering mode would be skipped no matter it's from the same zone or from another zone. Please turn to pages 21 and 22 to learn the running logic of the valves in each zone under the Manual Watering Mode. -15- EN RAIN DELAY 1) When dial at "ON", press and hold "+/DELAY" button for 3 sec to enter into rain delay mode interface. 2) When default time "24H" is flashing, press "+" and "-" buttons to adjust time between 0H, 24H, 48H and 72H.

In this case, a valve with the earliest start time would run firstly. When zones have same start time, then timer would open valve one by one according to the zone number 1-2-3. For example as above: 1) Zone 3 has the earliest start time in all 3 zones, so zone 3 would run firstly. 2) Both zone 1 and 2 have secondly earliest start time, and they would run next. Zone 1 secondly and zone 2 thirdly. -19- EN Different Watering Frequency Start time 800 AM 800 AM 800 AM 800 AM 800 AM How How timer works in Next Start often different frequency time 8H Next start time = start time + 8H 1600 PM ... 12H Next start time = start time + 12H 2000 PM ... 1 Day Next start time = start time + 1 Day 800 AM every day ... 2 Day Next start time = start time + 2 Day 800 AM 2 days later ... 3 Day Next start time = start time + 3 Day 800 AM ... 3 days later In automatic mode, what will timer work in different watering frequency ? For example as above: It shows the start time and next start time when you choose different "How often", namely watering frequency. Examples of watering frequency of every 1 day, every 2 days and every 3 days: EVERY 1 DAY EVERY WEEK SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY EVERY 2 DAY WEEK ONE WEEK TWO SUNDAY EVERY 3 DAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY WEEK ONE WEEK TWO SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY -20- EN Manual Watering for 3 Zones Your Manual Watering Plan Valve Zone 1 Start Time How Long 900 20 minutes Real Working Real Start Finish Time Watering Time 900 920 Zone 2 900 20 minutes 920 940 Zone 3 900 20 minutes 940 1000 If you set manual watering mode for 3 zones as above, how will the timer work ? Working together ? No. To ensure output water volume and water pressure from faucet don't reduce, timer would always only open one valve at a time, even if multi zones have the same start time. For example as above: 1) 3 zones have the same start time, but they won't work together. 2) They would work one by one according to zone number 1-2-3, namely zone 1, then zone 2 and zone 3. -21- EN Timed Watering meets Manual Watering Valve Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3 Start Time 700 710 730 How Long 20 minutes 30 minutes 20 minutes Mode Really Run Timed watering mode every day Run automatic watering program from 700~710 Manual watering mode only today Run manual watering program from 710~740 Timed watering mode every day Run automatic watering program from 730~750 the next day Manual watering mode always has the priority over timed watering mode. For example as above: 1) Zone 1 start automatic watering program at 700, and its' original end time is at 7: 20. However, zone 2 start manual watering mode at 710, which is earlier than 720, then timer would open zone 2 to run manual watering program from 710~740, and zone 1 would be closed from 710~720, which means zone 1 would lose 10 minutes' watering time. 2) After zone 2 finish manual watering at 740, zone 3 will skip the timed watering for today as the start time for the automatic watering has passed and it will start the automatic watering the next day at 730 after zone 1 and zone 2 finish the watering. -22- EN TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Condensation on the screen Possible Factors Solution may help Air condenses inside the screen due to the difference in temperature between inside and outside.
