• Flush duration 1 minute to 12 hours
(1 minute increments)

different schedules
• Rechargeable battery (low battery
indicator shows both handheld and
controller battery conditions) with
recharging adaptor (9-volt lithium
battery can be used in the built-in
programming interface)
NOTE: In that the handheld was
designed by its manufacturer

many displays use irrigation
terminology. In the following
instructions, in such cases the
equivalent flushing terminology is
shown in parentheses.
