Set Regeneration (Starting) Time
NOTE: RECHARGE TIME and a flashing 2:00 AM (factory default) should show in the display. This is a good time for regeneration to start (over in about 2 hours) in most households because water is not in use. HARD WATER is bypassed to house faucets during regeneration. See the Automatic Hard Water Bypass During Regeneration section.

Safety Instructions
Normal Operation, Control Displays
During normal operation, the present time of day and AM or PM show in the control display 
area. When the demand computer determines a regeneration is needed, RECHARGE TONIGHT begins to
flash in the display along with the present time. RECHARGE TONIGHT 
flashes until the next regeneration start time, then changes to RECHARGE NOW, which flashes until the regeneration is over.
Operating
Feature: Optional Recharge Controls
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (recharge) may be desired or needed. Two
examples:
■You have used more water than usual (house guests, extra washing, etc.) and you may run out of soft water before the next regeneration.
■You did not refill the storage tank with salt.
Use one of the following features to start a regeneration immediately, or at the next preset regeneration start time.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
Touch (do not hold) the TOUCH or HOLD button. RECHARGE TONIGHT flashes in the control display area. A regeneration will occur at the next preset regeneration start time. If you decide to cancel this regeneration, touch the same button once more.
RECHARGE NOW
Press and hold the TOUCH or HOLD button until RECHARGE NOW starts to flash in the control display area. The water softening system begins an immediate regeneration and, when over in about two hours, you will have a new supply of soft water. Once started, you cannot cancel this regeneration.

Troubleshooting
Feature: Program Memory
If electrical power to the water softening system is interrupted, the control display is blank, but the control keeps correct time for about six hours.
When power is restored, you have to reset the present time only if the display is flashing. All other settings are maintained and never require resetting unless a change is desired.
If the time is flashing after a long power outage, the water softening system continues to work as it should to provide you with soft water. However, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the control to the correct time of day.

The chart on Error Codes 
shows the error codes that could appear and possible reasons for each code. While an error code is displayed, all control buttons are inoperable except for the SELECT button. SELECT remains operational so the service person can make the Manually Initiated Electronic Diagnostics to further isolate the defect and check the water meter.
