• Lower small dial: Day selector - align arrow with current day
• Pins in day dial: Set watering days (insert pin for each desired day)
• Function switch: AUTO (run programs), OFF (stop), MANUAL (manual operation)

Programming Sequence

2. Set current day on lower dial (align arrow)
3. Insert start time pin(s) in top dial
4. Insert day pins in lower dial
5. Set run time for each zone using knobs on large dial
