electronically operated and must be attached to the timer
for proper operation). Open fully each of the shutoffs with
a valve attached.
2. Remove the plug and connect the wire from a valve to
one of the numbered ports on the back of the timer. The
numbers 1 through 4 are the “STATIONS” used while
programming your timer. Attach up to 4 valves.
3. Remove the tray on the side of the timer by sliding or
pulling it out.
4. Insert two AA (1.5V) alkaline batteries (not included) and
replace the tray.

tray is fully inserted if it does not pull out easily. Used up or
dead batteries must be removed from the timer and disposed
of properly. Replace batteries when low battery icon appears
on display. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may
