Timer Operation Overview
The watering timer features a dial for setting the start time and watering duration. The dial is marked with options for watering frequency: 'Daily', 'Every 3rd Day', and 'Every Other Day'. It also indicates watering durations in minutes (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 30, 60) and has an 'OFF ON' switch. The device requires no complex programming; simply set the dial for the desired start time and watering duration.
