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 timer 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 timer will resume automatic operation as scheduled.

Turn the control dial to the rain delayposition. The rain delay display will begin alternating with the automatic status display.

To set the number of rain delay days, press the +/on or –/offbutton until the desired number (1–7) is flashing.

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 (4 seconds) to the off position.
