Warm Tips

Please read before use:

• Don't use the water timer when the temperature is below 37.3°F (3°C), and please store the timer indoors to avoid potential freezing damage.
• 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 2 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 7: ACTIVATE THE TIMER BEFORE USE).
