Introduction

Thank you for selecting a quality Orbit timer. You will enjoy many
years of satisfactory service if proper installation and care is
observed.

The Orbit Timer keeps your yard beautiful whether you are at home
or away. Orbit gives you convenience and flexibility, letting you use
an automatic watering program or override the automatic program
for special watering needs.

The Orbit Timer provides up to 4 start times per day with watering
periods from 1 to 360 minutes per start time.

For ease of use, the User’s manual has step-by-step instructions
for installation, setup and operation. Please read the manual com­pletely before installation, programming and operation.

Note: Use only with two 9-volt alkaline batteries. As an option, you may
use household currents with an Orbit Transformer Model No. 62008, or
appropriate transformer matching your voltage and plug type.
