Battery Compartment
To Remove
Replacing the Battery
Your timer requires a CR2032 lithium battery .
• The battery will maintain your program in case of
an AC power loss .
• Battery should last approximately one year.
• Open by sliding the battery tray out to the right.
• Insert one CR2032 battery into the compartment
with the + side up.
• Slide back into place.
A weak or missing battery can cause the time, date,
and program to be erased after a power failure . if
this happens, you will need to install a fully charged
battery and reprogram the timer .
Tip: Replace battery every year, to avoid loss of
programming.
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.
