2. For Your Safety

	Only use four 1.5-volt alkaline AA batteries to achieve the speci-
	fied maximum operating time when the unit is not connected to
	the mains. We recommend Varta and Energizer batteries.
LCD display:	The LCD display may go blank if the outside temperature falls
	below – 10 °C or rises above 60 °C. This has no effect whatso-
	ever on data storage or the correct transfer of data. The LCD
	display will function normally again when the outside tempera-
	ture returns to the normal operating range (– 10 °C to 50 °C).

vIf the battery status symbol flashes on the display you must replace the batteries immediately.

Central Radio Control Unit: To ensure good radio reception, position your Central Radio Control Unit near a window if you prefer to keep it indoors.

The range of the radio control unit depends on the material that must be penetrated. Concrete walls or buildings made of sheet metal can limit the range considerably.

Extreme weather conditions (fog, rain) can also restrict the range.

vProtect the Central Radio Control unit against moisture.

Radio Receiver:The Radio Receivers are installed in the valve boxes of the Irrigation Valves and are safe against flooding.

The valve box must be installed such that is it safe against flooding.

vAlways ensure that the cover is closed.
