“Watering Start Times” section. Then repeat
steps 3 and 4.
If you are following the programming checklist on

steps for Program A. At this point, you may:

Turn Controller On and Off
Œ
To set the controller to automatic operation, turn
the dial to AUTO. The display will show the cur-
rent day and time until the next scheduled auto-
matic start. When a program is running, the dis-
play will show the station currently turned on
and the minutes remaining on its run time.
When the entire program is complete, the dis-
play will change back to the current day and
time.
If you forget to turn the dial to AUTO, the con-
troller will eventually set itself to automatic op-
eration. The only setting that prevents auto-
matic operation is OFF (see step 2).
•
To turn the controller off and prevent all water-
ing, set the dial to OFF. The display will show
the current day and time. In addition, the right-
hand minute digit will blink to show that the con-
troller has been turned off.
The OFF setting can be used during rainy
weather, seasonal shutdown, or system mainte-
nance.
