Using The Rain Delay Feature
This feature enables all watering operations to be delayed from 1 to 7 days. For example, rain is forecast in your area for the next two days. Instead of turning the controller off (and possibly forgetting to turn it back on), a rain delay of 3 days can be easily entered. At the end of 3 days, the controller will resume automatic operation as scheduled.
To set the number of rain delay days, press the +/ON or
Return the control dial to the RUN 
position.
Note: The rain delay number will automatically decrease as each day passes. When the number reaches 0 (zero), automatic operation will resume at the next scheduled start time.
To cancel the rain delay, turn the control dial momentarily (3 seconds) to the OFF 
position.
