Connect the hose on the watering line.
FITTING THE BATTERY:
The timer uses mainly light as energy to operate. For the backlit display to switch on or when there is
insufficient light (e.g. after a few days of rain), the backup AA 1.5V alkaline battery (not included) is
used automatically to ensure the timer works correctly. The battery has to be inserted, even when it is
sunny.
The “sun” symbol on the display:
● if this symbol flashes, it indicates there is not enough light (therefore the water timer will be
battery operated)
● if this symbol remains active, it indicates that there is sufficient light (therefore the water timer
will operate on solar energy)
If the battery used is new and the water timer is installed correctly, he life cycle of the battery will be
approximately 4 years (or until the expiry date if this is less than 4 years). The life cycle of the battery
therefore depends on:
● environmental conditions (number of sunny/rainy days)
● where the water timer is installed
● how often the backlit function is used
