BACKUP BATTERY  

Your timer requires a CR2032 Lithium battery to maintain your 

program in case of an AC power loss.  

Tip:

 The Battery should be replaced every year, to avoid loss of 

programming.

BATTERY WARNING: Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep 

batteries away from children. 

This product contains a lithium coin cell battery. If a new 

or used button/coin cell battery is swallowed or enters the 

body, it can cause severe internal burns and can lead to 

death in as little as two hours. Always completely secure 

the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does 

not close securely, stop using the product, remove the 

battery, and keep it away from children. If you think the 

battery might have been swallowed or placed inside any 

part of the body, seek immediate medical attention. The 

battery should be disposed of properly and kept away from 

children. Even used batteries may cause injury.

Note:

 A battery alone will not operate the valves in your sprinkling 

system. The sprinkler timer transformer must be connected to an 

AC line voltage source.

For instructions on “Water Budgeting”, connecting the timer 

to a “Pump Start” relay, replacing the “Backup Battery” or for
