Set Current Day

Setting the current day varies somewhat depending on
whether you are using a custom schedule or a fixed
schedule.

Custom Schedule

Œ

 Make sure the Schedule Slide switch is set to “C.”

 Turn the dial to “DAY.”

Ž

 The display shows the day of the week that is

   currently set (for example, “MO” for Monday).

 Press  

ñ

  or  

ò

  to change the display to the cur-

    rent day of the week.

Fixed Schedule

Œ

 Make sure the Schedule Slide switch is set to a
fixed-

    day schedule: 2, 3, or 5.

 Turn the dial to “DAY.”

Ž

 The display shows “1” for the first day of the watering

cycle. Day 1 is always the watering day.

 Press  

ñ

  or  

ò

  to change the current day from

    1. If you want tomorrow to be the watering day,
    change the current day to the last day in your
    fixed schedule.

For example, if you’re using a two-day schedule and
you want to start watering tomorrow, set the current day
to “2.” If you’re using a three-day schedule and you
want to start tomorrow, set the current day to “3.”
