• If the On-off Mode is deactivated, you will see the
icon, indicating that the Control
Module will water according to current program-
ming.

Performing Manual Starts
and Stops
Important: Before you perform manual
starts and stops, you must verify the
Control Module’s irrigation status. See
Verifying the On-off Mode, above.
Note: The manual functions described
below override all other functions
(except On-off); any program currently
running will be suspended to permit
their use. Manual starts and stops only
affect an existing station run time or
program.
Important: Manual operations will not
work if the On-off Mode is activated.
Starting a Control Module
Manually
You can perform either a single-station or a cycle
(multi-station) manual start. Before carrying out
either type of manual start, make sure you have pro-
grammed a run time of at least one minute per sta-
tion and that the Control Module’s On-off Mode is
not activated.
