Orbit 1 Outlet Hose Faucet Timer

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

When expecting freezing temperatures, timers should be removed from the hose faucet and stored indoors to avoid potential freeze damage.

The filter traps dirt particles, prolonging the life of the timer. Clean the filter regularly and replace if worn.

Quick Start: Installing the Batteries

1. Remove the battery tray on the back of the timer by sliding or pulling it out.
2. Insert two AA (1.5V) alkaline batteries (not included) and replace the tray.

Note: Firmly replace the battery tray to ensure water resistance and increase battery life. The tray is fully inserted if it locks in place and does not pull out easily. Used or dead batteries must be removed and disposed of properly. Remove batteries at the end of the watering season and replace with new ones at the beginning of the next. Replace batteries when the low battery icon appears on the display.

Additional Features

Rain Delay

Rain delay allows you to postpone watering for a set period. To access this feature:

1. With the dial on AUTO, press the + button to select a delay of 24 hrs, 48 hrs, or 72 hrs.
2. The screen will flash between the current time and the hours remaining before the programmed cycle resumes.

Manual/Hand Watering

This feature allows you to water without interrupting your set schedule. To access this feature:

1. With the dial on AUTO, press the MANUAL button.
2. Use the +/- buttons to select watering time, from 1 to 240 minutes.

Note: There may be a slight delay between pressing the manual button and when watering begins.

To stop manual watering, turn the dial to OFF. Turn the dial back to AUTO to resume your programmed watering schedule.

Turning the dial to the OFF position at any time during the day will reset the timer's internal timing. This cancels all scheduled watering times for the day until the next programmed START TIME. If you turn the dial back to AUTO, the timer will not water until the next day, beginning at your desired programmed START TIME.

Example: If you have a 6:00 AM START TIME with watering every 6 hours, and you turn the dial to OFF at 10:00 AM today, the timer will not water until tomorrow at 6:00 AM. The 12:00 PM, 6:00 PM, and 12:00 AM watering times for today have been cancelled.

Example Display: MANUAL 60 MINUTES
