Important! Please Read!
- ⚠ Please activate the valve before use if it is the first time or after a period of idleness. For first-time use, to activate the timer with auto-test mode, hold the OK button without releasing and then insert batteries. The timer will automatically turn on and off the valves to test and activate. Take out the batteries and re-insert to get the timer back to work normally. (Explanation: In most cases, the valve is activated, but due to external forces or the environment during storage and transportation, the valve may appear to close on its own, then it needs to be activated manually.)
- ⚠ Only use with clean cold water.
- ⚠ The filter traps dirt particles, prolonging the life of the product. Clean the filter regularly and replace if worn.
- ⚠ When expecting freezing temperatures, timers should be removed from the hose faucet and stored indoors to avoid potential freeze damage.

Manual Watering
Manual Watering Mode
Diagram shows the timer's LCD displaying zone selection and the setting dial.
Manual Watering allows you to manually water without interrupting your set watering schedule. To access this feature, follow the steps below:
- When the dial stays in ON, press and hold the OK button for 3 seconds to enter manual watering mode.
- First, set the zone preferred for manual watering. Zone 1 will start blinking. Short press the ZONE button to switch zone options and use the OK button to select.
- After selecting zones, hold the ZONE button to confirm and go to manual water duration setup.
- The minute display will blink. Use + and – buttons to set time. Hold buttons for 3 seconds to quickly adjust. The default manual watering time is 10 minutes. Manual watering duration can be set from 0-6 hours.
- Press the OK button to start manual watering at once, or leave it without any operation for 5 seconds to automatically start.
- When manual watering, hold the OK button again to stop, or turn the dial to OFF to stop.
Note:
- Manual watering priority is greater than scheduled watering. For different zones, when the manual watering time conflicts with the scheduled watering time, the manual watering will be executed first, and the scheduled watering will start after the manual watering is finished. If there is a conflict between manual watering and scheduled watering in the same zone, manual watering will be executed first and scheduled watering will be skipped automatically.
- Zone 1, 2, 3, 4 are not executed simultaneously, but in sequence. If more than one Zone has the same start time, the Zones will be opened in order, not at the same time.
Rain Delay
Delay Mode
Diagram shows the timer's LCD displaying delay time and the setting dial.
When the dial stays in ON, press and hold the + button for 3 seconds to enter the delay mode setting. Press + and - buttons to set the delay time for 0, 24, 48, or 72 hours, and press the OK button to confirm. Select 0H to cancel the delay mode. If there is no action within 5 seconds, the delay mode will be cancelled as well. During the delay mode, hold the + button to cancel the delay.
Note:
- When a watering plan has more than one valve to run, the timer will open the valves one by one in the order of zone number, meaning the timer can only open ONE valve at a time.
- The four Zones cannot be opened at the same time; only one Zone can be opened at a time. When the start time of the four Zones is the same, priority will be given to opening one Zone. When the execution of one Zone is completed, the execution of the second Zone will begin, then the third Zone, and then the fourth Zone will begin.
