Figure 17: Watering Using Wireless Remote Features
(Notes About Using the Wireless Remote Features)
• Remember that the wireless features have priority over normal Timer
operations. Although the Timer will return to the automatic program,
the time spent during an wireless cycle will be lost. For this reason,
interrupting a currently running automatic (or semi-automatic or
manual) program may cause some stations of the currently running
automatic program not to water at this time.
• The wireless watering features do not "Stack" as do the Timer pro-
grams. A new wireless command will cancel the currently running
wireless command.
• After sustained use (approx. one year) the hand held Transmitter bat-
tery will weaken, and the red light will dim. Replace the battery when
the light begins to dim or if the operating distance begins to lessen.
If the Transmitter and Timer do not respond appropriately, check power
sources. It may also be necessary to program the Transmitter to the Timer
(see Programming the Transmitter below).
• The normal distance your Transmitter will operate is 200 feet line of
sight. The range is reduced when transmitting through walls, shrub-
bery, metal siding, etc. For best results hold the Transmitter above
your head or immediately in front of you.
Programming the Transmitter
It may not be necessary to use this procedure for models sold with a
Transmitter included, since the Transmitter and Timer have already been
programmed to work together. However, if you replace your Transmitter
you must code the Transmitter to the Timer.
To program the Transmitter:
• While holding the Transmitter in one hand, press and release the
transmitter program button found to the right of the RAIN DELAY but-
ton. The red indicator light on the Timer will turn on. Press the off
button on the Transmitter. The Transmitter will beep three times and
the red indicator light on the Timer will blink, indicating the program
coding is complete.
