PROGRAM MODE
After the batteries have been installed the minute digits of the time display will flash,
signaling that the program mode has been automatically entered. If no buttons are
pressed, the digits will stop flashing after 50 seconds. To enter the programming mode
(when not automatically entered) hold down the RAIN/SET button for 2 seconds—the
minute digits will flash. The Program Mode is laid out in a manner that allows you to
program each function separately, or you can follow the instructions entirely to program
the Rain Monitor. Complete programming is usually done for the initial set-up, and will
require you to skip step 1 of programming sections II through VI.
